Theological Training

Emmanuel International in Uganda has a relationship with two theological colleges associated with the Church of Uganda (Anglican). The first college, Janani Luwum Theological College in Gulu Town, is a long-established college with certificate and diploma courses for students at the Reverend and Lay Pastor (Catechist) level. The second college, Bishop Lee Rayfield Leadership Training Centre in a small rural centre near Pader Town, is a newer college still working on accreditation and proper infrastructure, and offers certificate courses at the Lay Pastor (Catechist) level only. Both colleges have expressed a need for tutors to teach subjects, and Bishop Lee Rayfield has also expressed a desire for help with administration. Subjects taught at the colleges include: Systematic Theology, Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Preaching, Worship, Christian Education, Development Studies, English Language/Study Skills, African Traditional Religion, and Islam.

Emmanuel International has also been approached by local church leaders who have expressed a desire for in-service training for their pastors and lay leaders.

Responsibilities

• Teaching and administrative roles can be discussed and negotiated with the two colleges according to the interests and qualifications of the applicant and the current needs of the college
• In-service training with church leaders, which may include conferences or other short trainings at local churches
• Other responsibilities, according to the desire and interest of the applicant, could include teaching on a weekly radio show, preaching at local churches and schools, teaching at youth conferences, and theological training for Emmanuel International staff

All our missional opportunities are Self-Funded / Supporter funded.

This means that they do not come with a salary from Emmanuel International.  This may mean that the posts on offer aren't for you at this time, however we know that men and women are called into God's work through faith as a service to others.

Please only apply if you are able to raise your own supporting funds for the roles you are applying for, it's possible that you fit one of the following groups.

• Retired but still have plenty to offer?
  Some of our recent missionaries were retirees who took up the call and not only contributed to church communities in our project countries, but also learned and grew through their experience.
• Looking for a gap year?
  Are you a student who has just finished school or college and not sure where your future lies? Why not talk to us about how you can get experience in the field that may help you make a decision?
• Graduate wanting to use your skills?
  We can use you! There are many opportunities that will use your skills to help and others, but also give you practical experience in return. Apply what you know and your Christian faith, and learn and grow as well.
