Tabor College, originally called The House of Tabor, in Australia, began as a Christian tertiary college offering a range of courses from certificate to post-graduate studies in the areas of counseling, education, ministry, performing arts, mission, youth studies and humanities in Adelaide. It spawned five additional campuses; Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Each College is now a separate institution and offers its own awards. Tabor had its origins in the then Christian Revival Crusade (now CRC Churches International), a Pentecostal denomination. It has retained its charismatic ethos and established itself as a liberal arts institution with many students and faculty coming from mainline churches. These include the Anglican, Baptist, Churches of Christ, Uniting Church in Australia churches, as well as many Pentecostal groups. Tabor seeks to ensure all its programs are: Scripture-based, Christ-centred, academically sound, ministry-oriented, positively expressed and spiritually empowered. Tabor's founding principal was Pastor Barry Chant, now at Wesley Mission in Sydney.
