Preparing Christian leaders, ministers, missionaries and theologians for service throughout Africa and the world.
The Faculty of Theology grounds students in scripture, church history, doctrine and pastoral practice, and sends them out to serve congregations, missions and communities. Its awards run from the certificate to the doctorate, and each level articulates into the next.
The first rung of theological study: a foundational survey of the Scriptures, of Christian belief and of the practice of ministry, for lay leaders, church workers and anyone beginning ministerial training.
Introductory training for those who teach within the local church — Sunday school teachers, youth workers, small-group leaders and church educators — combining biblical foundations with practical teaching method.
A certificate is a starting point rather than an endpoint. Credit earned may be carried into a diploma programme, and from there into a degree, subject to faculty regulations.
