The Church in Africa is growing rapidly, and the challenges facing our communities are becoming increasingly complex. We believe these realities call for a new generation of Christian leaders—men and women who know the Scriptures deeply, walk closely with Christ, and are equipped to serve faithfully in the places where God has called them.
At Kampala Evangelical School of Theology (KEST), we exist to equip servant leaders for transformative ministry through biblically faithful, contextually relevant, and practically grounded theological education.
Located in the heart of Kampala, Uganda, we see the city as more than our location—we see it as our classroom. Our students learn not only through lectures and textbooks but also through engagement with churches, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and communities. Here, theology is lived before it is merely discussed, and ministry skills are developed through reflection, practice, and service.
Our commitment is to holistic formation. We seek to nurture spiritual maturity, theological depth, ministerial competence, and Christlike character. Whether God is calling you to pastoral ministry, church planting, counseling, mission, education, community development, or leadership in the marketplace, KEST provides an environment where faith and practice are intentionally integrated.
Since 1989, KEST has remained committed to the authority of Scripture, the centrality of the gospel, and the mission of the Church. As we look to the future, we continue to reimagine theological education for Africa's changing contexts while remaining anchored in the timeless truth of God's Word.
We invite you to join a vibrant learning community that is passionate about Christ, committed to the Church, and engaged with the world.
Come learn. Be formed. Serve faithfully. Transform communities..
