St Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological College (SACOTC)
St Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological College (SACOTC) was established in 2000 and is the tertiary education institution of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Melbourne and its Affiliated Regions. Our College is named after the great pillar and doctor of the Church - St Athanasius the Apostolic (20th Pope of Alexandria), also known as Athanasius Contra Mundum (Against the World) because he stood in defence of the biblical doctrine of Christ.
SACOTC aims to serve the Church in a constantly changing world. We endeavour to prepare students who are interested in ministry in the Church; be it in the priesthood, as theologians, as lay teachers working in religious education in our churches and schools, as youth leaders, and to prepare people for field mission throughout the diocese including the South Pacific.
Our College strives to faithfully witness to the Message of the Gospel, and also aims to provide an exciting and authentic learning environment to those who are keen to learn about Orthodox Christianity, its history, and teachings.
SACOTC is the first Coptic Orthodox Theological College in the world to receive accreditation.
Currently, we offer Diploma in Theology and hope to have many of our units available for online study beginning 2013. We encourage you to study with us and we look forward to assisting you on your journey towards a deeper understanding of Orthodox faith, spirituality and life.
