Word from
our Principals
We have never before felt such
urgency as we do today in regard to
the training of Christian leaders forchurches, ministries and business.
Annesbrook Leadership College provides training that embraces practical
equipping and personal development
partnered with Christian theology
taught from the word of God.
The very heart of ALC is to practically
equip, raise and release leaders into
all nations with a Christ centred foundation carrying an anointing that will
sustain them in every area of their life
and ministry.
We are very privileged to be part
of what God is doing in the lives of
those whom God has brought to our
Leadership College.
One of the greatest miracles we see
is lives permanently transformed to
reflect the amazing character of God.
We pray that as you read the contents of this prospectus you will also
prayerfully consider joining us on this
incredible journey for 2015.

message from
our deans
Annesbrook Leadership College plays
a vital and a nationally important role
in equipping and preparing people
to lead. Our passion is for balanced
and Biblically grounded leaders to
be released from ALC into all levels
of society and Church life, with the
express purpose of bringing the integrity and ethics of Christian leadership
to those places.
We believe, and are empowered
by, the understanding that values of
truth, justice, compassion, kindness,
wisdom, humility and integrity are vital
leadership attributes and are found in
the personal relational knowledge of
Jesus. This belief is foundational to
our preparation of our students for
life. We see opportunity and we move
in high expectation firmly believing
that, if there are things wrong with our
world, we must be part of the solution. Already ALC graduates have filtered into many aspects of leadership
in both Church and community or into
pathways of higher learning where
they continue to learn and prepare for
a life God has called them to.
touch. Leadership happens in homes,
schools, communities, Churches,
the nation; in fact leadership occurs
wherever people are present and
something needs to be done. We are
intentional about preparing leaders to
be a blessing to others in the name of
Jesus. It’s that simple.
There is an academic side to the course
and a practical side to the course. Both
emphases work together to equip and
At ALC we have a passion to equip
people for leadership in a Christian
context and to excite them to head
into their futures with a powerful

affect every life and environment they

to train. Our greatest desire, however,
is not to teach students what to think,
but to teach them how to think. To

Professional Staff Assistance
Because there are many topics of specialist interest within the curriculum, guest lecturers are called upon regularly. Among
the most frequent guest lecturers are professional staff members from Annesbrook Church, with whom we share the
campus. Many of these professionals are also Internship Placement Managers. The most regular of these are:
Graham Heslop is the Associate Pastor
at Annesbrook and a highly skilled
communicator.
Graham brings a wealth of experience and
enthusiasm to the classroom. He is genuine and transparent and is able to marry
the academic with the experiential in a
completely real fashion.
Besides the Principals and Deans, ALC has valued and skilful staff members who lecture and are also involved in
special areas of service within the College.
ALC Staff
Simon Terrill
It is a great privilege for me to be working for ALC. I would never have imagined what God
had in store for me when I left a banking career to study theology. After graduating with a
BTh degree from Bishopdale Theological College (BTC) in 2012, I joined the ALC staff in a
part-time capacity. As the college has grown my position has developed into the full-time
role I currently hold as Assistant Dean. This involves lecturing, overseeing curriculum development and delivery and other administrative responsibilities. I also work part-time as a
musician and tutoring for BTC.
Having grown up as a Pastor’s kid and being involved in various areas of church life, my
passion is to see people grow into maturity and wisdom by providing Biblical inspiration for
Christ-like transformation.
Carla Pollock
I joined the excellent ALC staff as Intern Manager upon graduating from the Diploma in
Christian Ministry Internship course in 2012. My previous ‘hats’ include management roles in
the financial, health and retail sectors. Currently I assume the privileged role of Mum to two
beautiful girls and I am also a qualified Living Wisdom presenter. All of these skill sets are
extremely valuable in my role as Intern Manager and I use them to support the students and
their Placement Managers to achieve their goals.
My desire is to see every person I work with embrace and realise as much of their God given
potential as possible. I am honoured and privileged to continually see God moving with
grace and power through the ALC internship platform.
Governance board
Currently ALC is in the process of applying for Private Training Establishment status. Documents for application
have been prepared and are being assessed by NZQA. It is our desire to have the PTE status confirmed early in
2015. Part of the process will be the establishment of a new Governance Board. Membership on this Governance
Board will be representative of the wider sSenior Leadership of Annesbrook Church, which will be recognised as
the “Owners” of the PTE. As at this printing, the makeup of the Board membership has not been concluded. The
Board will, however, be led by the College Principals and Annesbrook Senior Leaders Viv and Brent Liebezeit.

He is passionate about seeing others
engage their minds and develop the tools
to search. Shannon is growing in reputation as a communicator with youth and
children and is an eagerly sought after key
note speaker.
Josiah Burton is a passionate and energetic Pastor for Youth with a National
reputation for energy, ability and communication skills. He directs the youth programme at Annesbrook and coordinates a
youth mentoring initiative in schools and
directs young adult work.
Josiah is also a former ALC student and
his lectures are animated and arise out
of constant experience in his area of
specialty. He is ably supported by his
wife Kristen and his team of interns in
dealing with a challenging group of teenagers often numbering over 200 on a
weekly basis.
Julie Clements is a highly experienced
health professional having had a long
career in Nursing (I.C.U.) and now as a
long-serving professional counsellor contracted within the Annesbrook structure.
Her credentials include the Diploma
in
Applied
Counselling
and
Psychotherapeutic Studies (NMIT 2000).
Julie’s lectures ooze empathy and understanding and are a real challenge to
the students.

School Chaplain. In addition to those qualifications she has undertaken other qualifying papers in her growth as an effective
communicator and empathetic counsellor
particularly with children.

Testimonial
The decision to temporarily give up my
career, pack up and move to Nelson to
complete a Diploma in Christian Ministry
Internship was a bold one but the best
decision I could have made! It was important to me that I knew what I believed and
that God was at the centre of my life.
At ALC I found the right environment to
learn about my faith and focus on my
relationship with God. Not only does the
course present intriguing content within
the subjects of Theology and History but
lecturers are also focused on Spiritual
Growth and transferable Leadership
skills. The leadership skills discussed
in class, and through discussions with
supportive supervisors in the practical
internship, are applicable to both life
inside and outside of Church ministry.
My internship areas were matched to
my particular skill sets but also provided opportunities to extend and
refine my abilities.
In all honesty, I was not sure what
this year would entail but ALC
has been a fun, supportive and
thought provoking environment
that has helped me further
connect with God; the best
decision I could’ve made.

Introduction
CODE and COURSE TITLE
Annesbrook Leadership College is constantly innovating and growing. ALC has developed a partnership with
Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) for the provision of NZQA qualifications.
This relationship has allowed us to provide NZQA qualifications for 34 students in Nelson and Wellington in 2014.
The courses delivered are Certificate in Christian Ministries (Internship) Level 4 and Diploma in Christian Ministry
Internship Level 5. Besides the NZQA courses, there are other options not attracting NZQA credits but often sharing, in a limited way, the same course content.

skills and attitudes, including communication skills.
a. Leadership development includes such essentials as ethics, time management, personal integrity, goal
setting and others.
b. Communication includes developing skills in both written and oral communications and includes practical
elements.
2. Personal Spiritual Foundations: This course investigates the disciplines that are adopted in the process of
developing a personal relationship with God. These disciplines include meditation, prayer, study, simplicity,
solitude and others. There is also a strong initial emphasis on the discovery of personal Spiritual gifts.
3. Comparative World Views: This course is a journey of discovery of varying world views, their development
in the contemporary age, the tensions they may create and concluding how a Biblical world view will direct
the choices and direction of Christians. There is a Church History (first 500 years) component in this course.
4. Biblical Narrative (Theology): This course is a summary of the Biblical Story recognising it as God’s story of
creation, fall, redemption and restoration. The course in general regards the Biblical narrative passages to
follow the direction of the metanarrative and identifies other narratives contributing to that.
5. Practical Internship: This part of the course comprises the major part and requires a commitment of 25 hours
per week. This practical element involves a placement determined, in part, by the results of the initial interview. Wherever possible, our Internship Manager (ALCIM) will arrange the Internship Placement to suit the

Discipleship Course Options
For those who cannot find the time to complete either the NZQA or Advanced Discipleship Certificate and Diploma
courses, we are happy to announce there are two other options:
Discipleship Course
•
Choose a leadership course and a Bible course (See Campus Schedule)
ALC wants to offer courses to as many as are able to benefit from them and we have three separate options available. All three options take advantage of exactly the same curriculum as the above NZQA courses but with varying
degrees of limitation. We call them Discipleship and Advanced Discipleship courses.
•
You can choose the courses being conducted on the same day or separate days
•
You can choose from Certificate or Diploma courses or a mix of both
Remember the course content, aims, descriptions and course summaries should be referred to for an understanding
of what the Discipleship courses include.
•
The Discipleship course is a one year commitment
•
There will be one simple assignment per course due at year’s end
•
You will be regarded as a student of ALC with all the privileges and responsibilities that status indicates
•
You will not be required to complete any Internship hours, although you may do so voluntarily by making either the
Dean or the ALCIM aware of your desire
•
Your total hours for the year will be 64 (in a normal course of 32 weeks)
•
A certificate will be awarded
•
You will be required to submit a Pastoral reference (form available on line or on request)
ALC Advanced Discipleship (Year One) or
(Year Two) Courses
•
These courses are conducted in the same format as the NZQA courses but with fewer hours
•
They are comprised of class time (six hours) on Mondays only and eight (8) hours a week in Internship placements
•
They carry no NZQA credits and they do not attract Studylink loans or allowances
•
Advanced Discipleship (Year One) is a Certificate in Church Leadership and Ministry
•
Advanced Discipleship (Year Two) is a Diploma in Church Leadership and Ministry
•
For details on course content refer to the section covering NZQA courses (Monday subjects only)
Advanced Discipleship Certificate and

It’s easy to think that
what you do defines who
you are. However, I’ve
come to learn that it’s not
the things you do that
define you. It’s what
you take in that adds to
the foundation of who
you are.
Testimonial
I think this quote would sum up the past year at ALC quite
accurately: “The more you know, the more you know you
don’t know”.
I’m Thomas and this is my second year doing ALC. I’ve grown
up in a Christian background. It was easy to think that I knew it
all or at least enough to be a great Christian.
ALC has turned that way of thinking COMPLETELY around.
I like to look at it like this; the things we do in life are the
building blocks people see. E.g. leading at a youth group or
in a Church ministry would be a building block. Being in a
relationship or married would be another block. In the worship team or playing music another block. A high social status
- block. Have a great job/career – block etc.
It’s easy to think that what you do defines who you are.
However, I’ve come to learn that it’s not the things you do that
define you. It’s what you take in that adds to the foundation of
who you are.
ALC for me has not been about the building blocks that people
see but about building the foundation that holds them up. It’s
the foundation that defines who you are and how you react
when things fall apart. You can fake how you act but you can’t
fake how you react. When a relationship gets messy or someone close dies or life is not going the way you wanted it to or
even when you’re just having a bad day, it’s the foundation that
will hold you up. Building a firm healthy Christian foundation
in my life is possibly the greatest investment I have ever made.
When I tell people I go to a bible college, the response I get
is often, “oh cool so do you, like, want to be a priest then?”
I always get a shocked look when I tell them, “no I want to
be a cop”.
I emphasise the ‘leadership’ part of this course because it’s
exactly that; leadership training in a Christian setting with God
morals. Everyone needs leadership training because everyone
leads in some way or another.
So it doesn’t matter what path I take in life, be it a police
officer or skydive instructor, youth pastor or chef. Annesbrook
Leadership College has been ‘foundation building’ for my
entire life.
