Kenya: Lecturers (Theology, Counseling, Bible)

Opportunities

Africa Gospel Church is growing. As a result, local pastors are in need of quality formal education and theological training. Help train local pastors in Kenya by lecturing in theology, counseling, or Bible at Kaboson Pastors Training College.

Length of Service

• Mid-term: four weeks to one year
• Long-term: two or more years

Requirements

A bachelor’s or master’s degree in theology, counseling, ministry, or another related field is preferred. Pastoral experience is also helpful. Long-term career missionaries would be preferred because of the way courses are spread out.

Ministry Description

Africa Gospel Church in Kenya has 1,700 congregations, comprising 300,000 people in eastern Africa. Unfortunately, many pastors in AGC churches are untrained and unable to attend Kenya Highlands Evangelical University in Kericho because of expense, distance, family responsibilities, or they do not meet admission requirements. Kaboson Pastors Training College was founded in 1993 in the Chebalungu district in southwest Kenya to meet the vital need of providing national pastors with formal education and theological training.

Quick Facts

• AGC’s mission is: “to fulfill the Great Commandment and Great Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ according to the Great Plan.” The Great Commandment embodies loving God (spiritual development) and man (social development). The Great Commission (intentional discipleship) informs the need for structure and programs. The Great Plan (dynamic evangelism) defines the extent of AGC’s mission, which is not just local but is also to make an impact on families, communities, nations, and the world.
• The church oversees several pastoral/ leadership training programs, medical outreach through Tenwek Hospital, and urban church ministries in Nairobi and 30 other major Kenyan cities.
• AGC sends out over 50 Kenyan missionaries to more than 10 unreached groups in Kenya. They are intentional in developing programs and outreach strategies friendly to people of other faiths, including programs in parts of northeastern Kenya.
