African Bible University of Uganda

Posted on

 

Background:

This unique educational institution is not new to Africa. The original vision for the college began in the hearts and minds of Dr. and Mrs. John W. Chinchen. After spending seven years training pastors in the interior of Liberia, the Chinchens realized the great need for colleges that would respond to the need of the increasing number of secondary school graduates in Africa. In 1975 the vision became reality when the first of the African Bible Colleges began in Liberia, West Africa. A second college opened in 1989 in the Central African country of Malawi. In due time, both of these colleges were recognized by the governments of their respective countries as accredited, university-level, degree-granting institutions. A third of these Christ-committed colleges is in the strategically located East African country of Uganda. From this vantage point, ABU Uganda offers quality education from a Christian perspective to the surrounding countries of Sudan, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia.

 An exciting online degree program has been established as well as a radio program.

Ministry:

What better framework for searching out God's wisdom for God's world could be found than a university-level institution that bases all its teachings on the belief that the Scriptures are God's infallible, inspired Word? At African Bible University, every student majors in Biblical studies, but also has the opportunity to explore God's truth as it is manifest throughout His wondrous works of creation and redemption.

The chief aim of all institutions within African Bible Colleges, Inc. (ABC) is to train Christians in Africa for pastoral ministry, Christian service, and leadership relevant to the continent.
