Dr. Conrad Mbewe
The church in Africa is growing fast. We must do our best to provide God’s sheep with shepherds who are grounded in the word of God, who are able preachers, and who care for them. The ACU School of Divinity is run by pastor-theologians who are tried and tested in the trenches of ministry. We aim to shape the minds and hearts of our students in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2, as we involve and mentor them in the church. Our curriculum is robust, we teach the original languages, and we do not swerve away from the Bible as the final authority. Come and study with us!
Dr. Voddie Baucham Jr
Back in 2015, many people asked me why I packed up my family and moved halfway across the world (from Texas to Zambia). The answer was, the ACU School of Divinity. The need for sound, gospel-centered, indigenous theological education in sub Saharan Africa was as great as the continent was vast—and it still is! I was convinced that the ACU School of Divinity would help meet that need. It is a strategic work with the potential for both local and global impact for the cause of Christ. I am now back in the USA but my heart is still there to see the school for which I was the Founding Dean train men into solid preachers and church leaders.
Master of Arts in
Pastoral Theology
The MA in Pastoral Theology is a full-time, HEA accredited, two-year programme designed for those pursuing a calling in pastoral ministry.
ACU’s MA in Pastoral Theology offers the highest level of biblical, theological, and pastoral instruction available in Zambia.
Our programme was designed by a team of pastor-theologians with decades of local church and academic experience (all holding advanced degrees).
The programme will prepare candidates for the unique and challenging nature of pastoral ministry, including officiate, pastoral, and organizational functions. And all of this in the context of a flexible programme that will allow our students to remain in the field and continue their current duties.
Our graduates will be held to the highest academic, professional, and personal standards, and we will equip them to serve in ways that will uphold both their calling, and the interests of the congregations and/or academic institutions they serve.
Our approach to education is practical and unique because of the connection to the local church. Students are expected to be part of the local church and the local church is a part of the students education.
Through this unique partnership, we jointly equip you and send you on mission together. This biblical approach better enables you to make a lasting impact for Christ
All of our lecturers not only hold degrees from top-level, reputable institutions, they are also committed churchmen, with years of experience as local church pastors and elders.
