Bachelor Of Arts In Theology

This programme is specifically designed for undergraduate students who seek and are interested to carry out ministry; to offer them with a holistic practical approach to ministry, while equipping them with both knowledge and skills in academic, biblical, theological, cross-cultural, general education, mission related and community leadership studies that encompass the subject area of theology and the Bible. It will challenge them to live and effectively teach in the church and communities around them. Like J.I Packer states, “theology is for doxology” (worship), the goal of theology is to worship God.

Thus, rightly said, theology is for every individual. As a university, we believe that community transformation begins with personal or individual transformation that then are empowered to bring about transformation in their homes, church and the world for the glory of God. Students accepted onto the programme will study the essential concepts underpinning ministry practice and sound biblical theology and demonstrate achievement of the required competencies in practice-based contexts.
