It is located in the Melbourne CBD, Victoria, Australia. It was established in 1954.[1]
RTC is accredited through the Australian College of Theology[2] and is a member of the South Pacific Association of Bible Colleges.

History
[edit]The school began in 1954 in the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Geelong before moving to the former Geelong Grammar School building in 1961.[1] In 1999, the college purchased part of the Geelong Grammar Junior campus in Highton and moved to that location.[1] RTC retains some infrastructure (including the main library holdings, administration, faculty offices and a student residence) at its former campus in Geelong.[5]
RTC Melbourne Campus
[edit]RTC classes are held at the Melbourne campus in addition to online and live-streamed classes.[3] A library is located on the Melbourne campus.[3]
Notable alumni
