Christ Seminary was begun in 1997 with eleven students who enrolled for the Diploma of
Theology. From its small beginnings the seminary has steadily grown to over 65 students.
The need for trained church leadership in Africa is so great that the student body is
currently made up of men from 11 African countries, 17 languages, representing 20% of
the continent.
From the start, Christ Seminary has been determined not to be another independent
academic institution where men come to merely get knowledge and a degree.
Christ Seminary exists to serve and assist local churches in giving further training to men
whom they have already identified as faithful and capable.
This can best be done through an in-service, church-based program which combines
rigorous studies with local church involvement.
Students at Christ Seminary to get the best of both worlds: solid theological training in the
Scriptures, united with hands-on practical opportunities in their current ministry.
Our modular program requires students to attend lectures for a nine day session every
three weeks during which they receive one full month's worth of lectures. After each
session, they return to their homes and churches to complete assignments and to minister
in their local congregations.
Between sessions Christ Seminary professorss visit students and give input into their
ministries. Each professor is also involved in pastoral ministry so that his teaching is
seasoned and informed by his own experience.
As Jesus and Paul so clearly demonstrated in their own training methods, a student is only
well-trained when he demonstrates mastery of biblical content, godly character and
necessary ministry skills.
Only this kind of integrated, thorough training will produce the shepherds so badly needed
in African churches. Only then will the church in Africa become strong and stable,
grounded on rock-solid biblical truth and lead by indigenous church leadership.
We are here to serve God's Church in Africa as is reflected in our mission statement: "We
strive to exalt Christ and strengthen His Church in Southern Africa through the training up
of skilful shepherds who are able to study, live out and communicate God's Word - Ezra
7:10; 2Tim.2:2; 3:15; 4:2.
We strive to exalt Christ and strengthen His church in Southern Africa through training up
skillful shepherds who are able to study, live out, and communicate God's Word.
