As your Vice Chancellor, I want to assure you that you have chosen to be in the first Christ-centred university in East Africa. We aim to use our students to transform the church and society in Africa and the world.

Our Vision is to be a distinguished Christ-centred University of choice transforming the world through world-class, value-based education.

In our Mission, we seek to provide learners with higher education that equips them to grow spiritually and intellectually, enabling them to serve as transformational agents in their professions and give Christ-centred servant leadership in the home, church and society.

• Respect
• Responsibility
