At African Christian College, we believe we are called to be effective stewards of our God-given resources. Good stewards put resources (like land) to work for the mission (Matthew 25:14-30).
Our entrepreneurial efforts support our mission through profits and by connecting with academic learning opportunities. This ensures these efforts are not distractions but are supportive of our primary, educational mission.
