Adelaide Christian Centre Information

In recent times the church has moved forward and now continues to grow and is a vibrant city based Pentecostal/Charismatic church with a significant influence in Adelaide and the nations. A significant part of the mandate of the church is Christian Education. Leo Harris had a vision for Christian Education and plans were developed in 1976 and 1977 for a Christian School. Sunrise Christian School was founded in 1978. A few years later Temple Christian College was founded as a sister organization for high school students. Both these schools are governed by the Elders of this Church in their capacity as the Board of Governors for Adelaide Christian Schools which is the parent organization for the schools. Both Sunrise and Temple have grown under God's blessing to the point where there are now nine campuses in South Australia with about 2000 students enrolled. In 2010 Adelaide Christian Schools (ACS) commenced a school in Port Moresby in partnership with Bethel Christian Centre. In 2011 ACS began to assist a school in Walhalla, USA to 're-launch'.
