The pioneer missionary from the Presbyterian Church of Wales Rev. D.E. Jones, Pu Zosaphluia started Aijal Theological School in 1907. Initially, the school provided a one-year course.
In 1924, the theological school was relocated from Aizawl to Durtlang on the present site of the Presbyterian Hospital. One of the Welsh missionaries, Rev. F.J. Sandy, looked after the school with the help of other Mizo teachers. But due to his sudden demise, the school moved back to Aizawl in 1927 and was entrusted to the care of Rev. E.L. Mendus. Due to several factors, the school was closed in 1935 and re-opened in 1951.
Having acquired a site at Mission Vengthlang, Aizawl, the College was established in 1964. The Senate of Serampore College granted affiliation to the College at the level of Licentiate in Theology (L.Th.) in 1965. The medium of instruction was Mizo.
When Rev. J.M. Lloyd returned to Wales he was succeeded by Rev. C. Pazawna who became the first Mizo Principal of the college in 1964. In 1965, L.Th (Licentiate in Theology) course was introduced. In 1971, the College was upgraded to a B.Th. level by the Senate of Serampore College, replacing the L.Th. diploma course programme. The medium of instruction for B.Th. programme was English. The diploma course G.Th. was also introduced for some of the non-English speaking candidates who prefer Mizo medium.
In the year of Gospel Centenary celebration, in 1994, Bachelor of Divinity (B.D) was started. Lay Theological Education was further consolidated. A new programme, Calvin Study Centre was also started in the College.
The B.Th. programme was phased out in 2003. The Master of Theology (M.Th) programme in Christian Theology was introduced in 2002, New Testament and Missiology from 2007, History of Christianity in 2009, Religion and Old Testament department from 2011, Christian Counselling in 2019. The Doctor of Theology (D.Th) programme expanded its department in Christian Theology in 2013, New Testament and Missiology in 2014, Old Testament, Christian Counselling and History of Christianity in 2022. Diploma in Clinical Pastoral Counselling (DCPC) was also started in 2016.
The College has become a local Centre for Bachelor of Christian Studies (B.C.S), Diploma in Christian Studies (Dip.C.S), and exam center for Doctor of Ministry (D.Min).
In the 2022-2023 session, ATC has 194 students, 157 male and 37 female, 112 BD students, 59 M.Th, 18 D.Th and 5 DCPC. There are currently 27 teachers, 22 non-teaching staff and 11 library staff.
