The AfRU Difference

We believe that for us to truly make a difference in the world, the gospel must be our foundation and motivation. This view calls for a unique way of providing higher education; one that focuses on blending professional knowledge and skills with values that shape the learner’s character and outlook
It is a value-based educational model founded upon the Christian worldview. The aim is to prepare individuals who besides gaining cutting-edge professional skills in their respective disciplines, will also be grounded in Scripture, relevant in their response to the needs of society and have integrity of character.
Developing influential leaders who boldly stand against theological error and immorality, understand the African context in which they live, and cultivate long-lasting and self-sustaining ministries.
An atmosphere of local church ministry. The emphasis of AfRU is to provide practical training in the context of the local church rather than in academic research. Students are taught to serve the Lord alongside the faculty and pastoral staff in the midst of a real community.
Hands-on training. At AfRU, we are committed to teaching students to love work while giving them the practical and professional skills they will need to excel in the workplace.
Missions-oriented students with a heart for the lost world around them. Students will have the opportunity to participate in local and cross-cultural missions as well as partner with local and global missionaries through seminars and service opportunities.
An affordable, high quality, and theologically sound education which will not discourage students from being equipped to serve as ministers of the Gospel.
