What is it about?
This study explores the developing Pentecostal pedagogy of Alphacrucis College in Australia. Its missions-orientated origins were driven by expansion, anti-intellectualism and experiential spirituality. Following the charismatic renewal, the college transited into a more conscious engagement with the broader community and alignment with government standards. Ultimately, a more transformational approach demonstrated that scholarly acumen and Pentecostal spirituality are a potent combination.
