The Journal of Contemporary Ministry will act as a place for reporting research and 
discussing issues related to contemporary ministry, including related theological and 
biblical questions. 
Its goals are to:

contemporary ministry and the practical, theological and biblical issues that arise 
from ministry practice;

audience; 
 Build the credibility of Ministry as a field of study and research.

The Journal of Contemporary Ministry will provide a specific forum for Alphacrucis 
College research students and faculty, and other interested people, to publish the results 
of their research. 
It will also provide a potential publishing venue for paper presenters at Alphacrucis 
Melbourne Campus’ annual research conference. 
The Journal of Contemporary Ministry will contain these kinds of material: 
 Peer-reviewed articles based on scholarly research (empirical or theological) into 
diverse forms and contexts of contemporary ministry, and the practical, theological 
and biblical issues that arise from ministry practice; 
 Pastoral reflections and articles that contribute viewpoints, based on personal 
experience or theological reflection, on contemporary ministry issues. These may be 
responses to articles from the Journal; 
 Book reviews and/or notes of new publications related to contemporary ministry; 
 Articles contributed by postgraduate students, which would also be refereed but may 
not come up to the level required in the first category; 
 A list of recent doctoral research theses completed on contemporary ministry 
relevant to this journal’s focus. 
The material we invite covers such topics as: 
 Results of empirical research into aspects of contemporary Christian ministry, e.g. 
youth ministry, children’s ministry, pastoral counselling, pastoral leadership, 
intercultural ministry; 
 Theological and biblical reflection on issues that have arisen from the practices of 
contemporary Christian churches and ministries, e.g. manifestations of the Spirit, 
worship styles, leadership culture, interfaith matters, political and social engagement, 
etc; 
 Underlying theological questions that lie behind Christian ministry issues, e.g. the role 
of women’s ministry in local churches, ethnic identity, ordination, apostleship; 
 Proposals for new expressions or forms of Christian ministry based on social analysis, 
e.g. how to reach specific sub-cultures.
