An Online Bible School Designed for East African Church Leaders

THS Academy provides a Bachelor of Theology in Pastoral Leadership through live online classes combined with a local church apprenticeship. You do not leave your church to study—you grow while you serve. This model allows pastors to receive serious theological education without abandoning their congregation.

Theological Training for Pastors Already Leading Churches

You are already preaching, discipling, and shepherding God’s people—but you were never given the opportunity to receive formal theological training. This program exists for pastors in Kenya, Uganda, and South Sudan who are faithfully serving yet desire deeper biblical understanding, recognized training, and stronger leadership skills.

Scholarships for Pastoral Training in Kenya and Uganda

Because most pastors in East Africa cannot afford tuition, THS offers limited scholarships for qualified church leaders. These scholarships make it possible for pastors to receive high-level theological training that would otherwise be inaccessible.

This is a serious opportunity and requires commitment, faithfulness, and hard work.

    • How THS Is Changing Churches in Africa

    Morris - Kenya

    My name is Morris Njuguna Wanjiru from Murang’a, Kenya, and I discovered THS Academy through a pastor friend who encouraged me to pursue deeper training. I felt a strong conviction that a well-equipped pastor can transform an entire community, and THS gave me exactly what I needed—biblical knowledge shaped by character and calling. The program strengthened my theology, expanded my vision for ministry, and today I’m discipling fellow pastors and growing the church through small groups. I am profoundly grateful for the nurturing environment, Christ-centered curriculum, and global fellowship that continue to shape me as a servant of God.

    Paul - Kenya

    God has put a burden in my heart that after acquiring knowledge and equipped with the word of God properly from THS academy. I want to go and train my local pastors in the village. Most of them are untrained and have never gone to bible school. They just start at a church and continue, I would want to spend most of my time preaching and teaching street children on the street and prisoners in prison. They need to be shown God's love and message of repentance. God bless all THS

    Bishop Boaz - Kenya

    I joined THS at a time when I already had many pastoral responsibilities but scanty knowledge about my role. During my studies, I learned how to be a servant leader! Thank you so much THS!
