Diploma in Theology
Programme Description
The Program seeks to produce graduates who understand the concepts and the principles of Theology and then demonstrate and apply the key undergraduate competencies in their various areas of influence.
Due to the numerous heresies (false teachings) which are confronting the church today, sound doctrine and biblical training is needed. Based upon the vision and the target group YABC became convicted that to accomplish all, it will be necessary for students to go through a 2 year Diploma program so that the full essence of Theology will be sealed. For effective delivering and accomplishing our purpose, our curriculum will be delivered in term basis instead of semesters. This benefits also the students who are already in practical ministry to serve their local churches and ministry grounds as they are being equipped. YABC is a ministry training ground for Uganda Christian Outreach ministries and have grown to cover ten African countries doing the Work of God in terms of church building and pastoring, schools building, establishment of water projects, Bible Colleges and so on and so forth
