What We Do
Purpose

Strategy The College seeks to provide a broad range biblical, theological, and biblicaly-based liberal arts programs in higher education that will develop and equip men and women to serve effectively in a variety of supportive and leadership roles in the Ethiopian and surrounding churches and societies.
Future Development While a biblical and theological wing (seminary) is in operation, the College envisions opening its first liberal arts programs in 2018. By the year 2018 it will be offering degree programs in three major disciplines. Campus development continues. A dormitory for 258 women is under construction which, when completed in 2017, will enable the College to accommodate 640 students in its residential facilities at Debre Zeit. It will also have non-residential programs at branch campuses in Addis Ababa and Nazareth Campuses.
