Partner with us as we train Africans to know Christ and make Him known.
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
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
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.
Student Conferences
In addition to the regular activities held on our campus, it is important for our team to connect with our students in their own communities. Your gift will enable our faculty members to travel to multiple sites for short conferences in our students’ home churches. These conferences will encourage the students by reinforcing the training received at UBS and furthering the good testimony of the school and the Baptist work in the region.
Master of Theology Cohort
We are hosting a Master's Cohort of Theological Studies with Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for graduates who excelled in their bachelor's degree. Your gift will help them continue their studies in theology to be thoroughly equipped for ministry.
Gospel Sharing Trip for Students
We want our students to practice what they learn in the classroom. Your gift will fund an intentional trip for our students to go into the area around the school
to practice one of the many evangelism tools they have learned.
Computer Lab Upgrades
Most seminary students only have smartphones to access the Internet. Uganda Baptist Seminary provides a computer lab for all students to do research and write papers while on campus. However, the computer lab is outdated and needs new computers to enable the next generation of students to excel in research and studies. Your gift will outfit the lab with new computers.
Seminary Faculty Support
The Uganda Baptist Seminary staff are godly faculty members who love the Lord and His Church. They desire to see Christlike church leaders trained and equipped to carry out the Great Commission and shepherd healthy churches across East Africa. Your gift will provide essential support to the school's faculty.
Zane’s* commitment to follow Christ wholeheartedly led him to move his wife and young children to Uganda Baptist Seminary (UBS) to study. He didn’t know how God wanted to use him, but he knew the next step was further study.
What he found at UBS was more than he expected. Zane thought he was just coming to study. Instead, he found a loving, supportive community of believers seeking God.
Because of your generosity, UBS is working to support and serve the churches of East Africa by educating a new generation of biblically grounded and theologically equipped church leaders.
At the seminary, Zane found solid, biblical teaching and opportunities to practice and improve his leadership skills. Experienced pastors mentored him in the challenges and joys of leading a local church. He also practiced witnessing and preaching regularly. Thank you for making this possible!
The African church has seen explosive growth, making it home to the greatest number of Christians on any continent. While Africa was once primarily a receiver of missionaries, it is now poised to become a substantial sender of missionaries.
Your gifts and prayers for UBS ensure that African believers receive critical training in doctrine and skills in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
Join us in prayer:
A recent village training of 35 church leaders included discussions of marriage and family, biblical interpretation, preaching, Christian doctrine, and apologetics.
Pray the trainings we hold impact each participant’s ministry and that participants will remember and practice what they learned and disciple those around them.
In addition to teaching 229 students this year, we held several conferences for church leaders and laypeople in our region, focusing on essential issues such as evangelism and healthy marriages. These conferences strengthen and support our alumni, enrich and educate our national partners, and provide leadership and visibility in our community.
Because of your generosity, UBS hosted a medical clinic on campus for students. This clinic provided dental and eye care, offering over 80 students consultations and treatment and improving the academic and daily lives of these students.
