School of Theology, Missions and Church Leadership
For the leader who serves hundreds — and deserves an education worthy of that responsibility.
Africa is home to more than 685 million Christians. It is the most spiritually active continent on earth. Its churches are full on Sunday mornings. Its pastors are governing institutions with the complexity of small businesses. Its ministry leaders are navigating digital platforms, community trauma, denominational politics, financial accountability, and the hunger for Scripture-rooted formation, often with no formal training at all. The School of Theology, Missions and Church Leadership was built for those leaders.
How This School Delivers Learning
Asynchronous Learning
All core lectures, biblical readings, case studies, and written reflections are delivered asynchronously. A pastor in rural Ghana can study at 5am before morning devotions.
Synchronous Community Sessions
Each programme includes two live community sessions per month, designed as learning communities rather than passive lectures. Attendance is expected but sessions are recorded.
