Adelaide Christian Schools are governed by one Board which is part of and overseen by Adelaide Christian Centre, a CRC International Church based in Adelaide, South Australia.


 

THE EARLY VISION

As a result of a vision from the late senior pastor Mr. Leo Harris, at the Adelaide Crusade Centre (now Adelaide Christian Centre, Sturt Street), Sunrise Christian School commenced. Pastor Leo’s vision was endorsed by the Elders, and a School Steering Committee was established in 1977 to put plans in place for a Bible- based Christian School. Pastor Leo personally donated the first $20 to start the school project. In 1978 Sunrise Christian School was birthed at the Fullarton Campus.33 years later the organisation is proud to have developed this God given vision and as a result currently have 10 associated schools and a Central Administration Office under the ACS banner.
