History: What Uganda (and indeed Africa as a whole) urgently needs are leaders who will apply the gospel both to Africa’s spiritual hunger and to its physical, social, political and economic realities. Consequently, a group of Christian leaders in 1989 founded Kampala Evangelical School of Theology to equip pastors and leaders to meet these needs. Initially, this involved a non-formal training programme in various hired halls. In September 2001, however, Kampala Evangelical School of Theology launched its full-time programme, with full-time faculty and students on its own campus situated near Makerere University, which is where we are still based.

In contrast to a globally pervasive ‘Afro-pessimism’, they at Kampala Evangelical School of Theology believe that the spread of the gospel on the African continent is the single most compelling ground of hope for the transformation of African society. Kampala Evangelical School’s aim is to play a significant part in this transformation.
