Biblical Resources for Building Healthy Churches
Ekklesia Afrika is committed to strengthening the Church in Africa through the provision of essential theological resources. Our guiding principle is encapsulated in the phrase “Biblical Resources for Building Healthy Churches.” Presently, the continent grapples with the issues of limited access, unavailability, and unaffordability of theological materials. This scarcity has led to spiritual deprivation within the church community in Africa. It is this challenge that Ekklesia Afrika aims to address in 3 main ways:
⇒ Pastors Training – Soma Program:
Ekklesia Afrika’s Soma Program offers a 4-year theological training designed specifically for African pastors. The curriculum focuses on cultivating biblical convictions for effective ministry, utilizing cohort learning, Socratic discussions, and monthly readings.
⇒ Publishing Department:
The publishing arm of Ekklesia Afrika creates and makes theologically sound content accessible for the strengthening of the church in East Africa and beyond. This involves licensing and printing previously inaccessible or unaffordable books, translating content into Swahili, and publishing new works by local authors for the African church.
⇒ Theological Education – Nairobi Institute of Reformed Theology (NIRT):
Established in 2022, NIRT responds to the demand for rigorous, graduate-level theological training in East Africa. The three-year MDiv-level program aims to equip pastors, pastor-theologians, missionaries, and counselors to lead by the light of Scripture, serving local churches in Kenya and beyond.
