About Uganda Theological Education Team

Our team works at Uganda Baptist Seminary among 250 students who are brothers and sisters in Christ hailing from eight East African countries. Every student is a church leader who takes their training back to their communities. This multiplication is crucial to the church's future in East Africa, and your gift will give students the knowledge and ability to plant and grow healthy churches that increase the kingdom of God in their respective countries. By 2050, researchers say Africa will have the largest Christian population in the world.

Our team works at Uganda Baptist Seminary among 250 students who are brothers and sisters in Christ hailing from eight East African countries. Every student is a church leader who takes their training back to their communities. This multiplication is crucial to the church’s future in East Africa, and your gift will give students the knowledge and ability to plant and grow healthy churches that increase the kingdom of God in their respective countries.

By 2050, researchers say Africa will have the largest Christian population in the world. We need to train these future leaders with sound theological education to make sure they are a light in the darkness and can be heard over the “noise” that includes the prosperity gospel and Africa Traditional Religions, which are deeply rooted in most of Africa due to the peoples’ extreme poverty and hopelessness.

Our team members at UBS are involved in teaching and administration. UBS offers more than 200 courses each year by the teaching faculty. At the same time, we are trying to navigate an increasingly technological world while working among some of the poorest people on earth. The demand for online and distance learning is high but not practical in a location where most do not have reliable electricity and internet access. Most students sacrifice greatly to attend the seminary and do not always have the means to do so. Your gift will provide much-needed scholarships for them to attend classes and also assist with maintaining the seminary property and buildings in this tropical climate.

Support Specific Opportunities

Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.

Coursework and Theological Resources

Effort Image

Students in East Africa lack the resources to purchase basic study materials. We try to give as many materials to them as possible in their classes, but printing is not cheap. Your gift will print theological resources and coursework for the students to take home with them to continue their learning and help them as they lead in their churches.

Student Scholarships

Effort Image

Most East Africans live a hand-to-mouth existence in some of the most impoverished countries on earth. Our students raise their own funds through friends and family to attend seminary, a significant struggle for many since they also work full-time and have no savings. Your gift will generously scholarship 100 students to continue their theological education, impacting Christianity across Africa for generations.
