Bachelor of Divinity
School of Theology
Introduction
The Bachelor of Divinity (BD) program has been in existence since 1979.The program prepares students for both lay and ordained ministry of the church in a rapidly changing society faced with the challenges of gender injustices, HIV/AIDS and issues of violence and poverty.
The program emphasizes a holistic approach to the ministry of the Church in the contemporary African context. This entails the need to be sensitive to the social, economic, political and spiritual concerns of Africa and beyond. This vision has found vindication through the effective leadership shown by our former graduates.
