Educating Christian Leaders for over 50 years.
African Christian College exists to glorify God by equipping students for excellent service in God’s kingdom. Out of this mission grows a vision of a transformed continent through the power of God and well-prepared leaders.
Since 1967, students have come from throughout Africa to study on our campus in the heart of the Kingdom of Eswatini. Originally known as Manzini Bible School, we became African Christian College in 2007.
We provide quality, Christian higher learning with multiple accreditations.
Who We Are
Our name says a lot about our purposes . . .
African
Our international identity is reflected in the diversity of our students, lecturers, staff, and board. Our typical student body represents 12+ African nations gathered to learn together on our campus in Eswatini.
Christian
People are more than thinking-things. We focus on forming whole persons by emphasising discipleship, spiritual formation, and Christlikeness in addition to academic achievement.
College
We want to equip visionary leaders of integrity with knowledge and skills for our changing world. We provide undergraduate-level, accredited programmes relevant to our African context.
Christian Identity
We proclaim Jesus as King, Messiah, and Lord. Out of this conviction, we approach scholarship, learning, teaching, and life from a solidly Christian perspective. We are Christian scholars and leaders.
African Christian College has deep roots and a long history within the Church of Christ. We remain committed to our faith heritage as a guiding post for engaging and uniting the universal church. This heritage is expressed in our expectations for the life and worship of our staff and students, but is not intended to be sectarian or divisive. All followers of King Jesus are welcome.
Academic Excellence
African Christian College was the first undergraduate programme fully registered with the Eswatini Higher Education Council. Our theology programme is also accredited by the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa. These recognitions reflect our commitment to academic quality.
We approach learning as a communal journey with students and lecturers as fellow travellers seeking knowledge, wisdom, and truth. Along the way, we practise using our knowledge to improve our communities, families, churches, and world.
Entrepreneurial Stewardship
Our funding is not primarily dependent upon tuition fees, government grants, or donor support. Instead, African Christian College practises entrepreneurial stewardship by using our assets to generate additional revenue to support our educational mission.
Our primary effort, called the Tree of Life project, consists of 14,000 macadamia nut trees on campus that help lower student costs while providing student employment opportunities and an agricultural learning lab.
Campus Location
We are located among the rolling hills of the Kingdom of Eswatini, a beautiful country nestled between South Africa and Mozambique.
Our campus sits adjacent to Tubungu Township, a quasi-rural gated community about 15km from the city of Manzini.
Our campus dedicates 20 hectares for academics and uses the remaining 50 hectares for entrepreneurial projects, including our 14,000 macadamia nut trees.
