| Description | African Christian College has been educating students for over 50 years. We believe in a transformed continent through the power of God and well-equipped leaders. Our students are from eSwatini, South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. Our Bachelor of Theology programme is currently completed in three years and is fully residential in the Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly Swaziland). All students learn core theology, ministry, and other subjects such as entrepreneurship to prepare them for academic excellence, Christian character, servant leadership, global awareness, and personal resourcefulness. Our Counselling major prepares students with the psychological theory and counselling practice to work with individuals and families in churches, clinics, schools, and personal counselling. Our BTh is recognised by the Swaziland Higher Education Council (SHEC) of the Ministry of Education and Training; and we are in the final stage of full accreditation by the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa. |
