Adventist University of Africa

The Master of Arts in Missiology has been designed to assist pastors and other ministry workers in developing expertise in Missiology. With the challenges brought about by local and global changes and transformations on the continent, the mission now requires specialized training. The programme offers two majors, namely Islamic Ministry and African Traditional Religion. These two majors reflect areas of significant importance in the mission of the Christian Church in Africa. Each area represents unique challenges that require specialized knowledge, skills and attitudes.

In line with the philosophy of AUA as a Seventh-day Adventist educational institution, the programme emphasizes the Gospel Commission to make disciples of all nations in view of redemption and restoration of the image of God in human beings.
