Testimonials

  • “If theological education is to genuinely become the responsibility of the indigenous believers of East Africa, it is essential that we train a generation of African theologians to the highest international standards. The master's course provided by SEBTS is vital as a stepping stone toward identifying those students able to move to the next level.”
