History: Westminster Theological College and Seminary Uganda began in the fall of 1996. Pastor Emma Kiwanuka had just returned from two years of study for a master degree at Westminster Seminary in California. Emma’s heart was to begin a pastors training college to train men for ministry and leadership in the Presbyterian Church in Uganda and other churches. Emma knew that effective training had to be strong in historic Reformed and evangelical theology, adapted well to the African cultural context, church-connected, open to students from various denominations and nations, led by African teachers and partnering wisely and creatively with western teachers and resources.

Things began small. First classes were held in the Worship Center of First Presbyterian Church in Kampala where Emma was Associate Pastor. The first students were all Ugandans and part-time. Emma taught all the classes. In June of 1997 a team of eleven Americans came from North City Presbyterian Church in San Diego, California, at the invitation of First Presbyterian Church, to help plant a daughter church in the Kampala suburb of Zana as Westminster Theological College.
