Meet our Faculty

Who we are...

Our faculty is a collective of dedicated scholars, seasoned ministers, and passionate educators, each specialising in areas critical to the development of well-rounded and impactful Christian leaders.

Not only experts in their fields but faculty members bring real-world insights and experiences into the classroom. They are committed to mentoring students, fostering a transformative learning environment that encourages critical thinking, spiritual growth, and active engagement with the world.

Our curriculum is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of Scripture, a solid foundation in theological principles, and a broad range of skills for ministry and mission.

Whether delving into the complexities of ancient biblical languages, exploring the interface between Christianity and Islam, or developing strategies for effective leadership and mission, we aim to cultivate a space where intellectual exploration, spiritual formation, and practical application come together, empowering our students to make a meaningful impact in the church, society, and beyond.
