Centenary Development Foundation
Centenary Development Foundation (CDF) is the investment arm of Churches of Christ in Queensland, Australia. We invest funds deposited with us by churches, organisations and individuals, pay a very competitive return on these investments, and distribute grants from any surplus we make. We exist in order to support the ministry of Churches of Christ throughout Queensland and Australia, and do so by providing investment opportunities, grants, and loans.

Australian College of Ministries
The Australian College of Ministries (ACOM) is one of Australia’s largest Bible colleges, specialising in Christian leadership, discipleship and ministry training.
Our college is committed to serving disciples of Jesus who are serious about kingdom living. We are especially equipped to help develop Christian leaders, for the very challenging context in which we find ourselves in the 21st century, no matter where you are in God’s world.
ACOM tailors your curriculum to help you meet your calling. We offer a range of courses and subjects, which increase your knowledge-base and develop your skills, while supporting your personal spiritual formation at the same time. Because our model of training focuses on flexible delivery for student learning, there is no campus. You can stay in your home and local church, and count your hours in ministry toward your course.
