At Kachema Afrika Theological College & Seminary*, we are answering that question by partnering with churches across Africa to train the next generation of high-capacity missionaries, church planters, and Christian leaders for Great Commission living.
Young African missionaries, pastors, church planters, students in a classroom, farmers working in a community project, and African nations highlighted on a map.
The center of global Christianity has shifted to the Southern Hemisphere. The question is no longer whether Africa can receive missionaries, but whether Africa is ready to send them
Education is costly, but ignorance will cost far, far more
The primary responsibility of every Christian is to tell other people about Jesus
Kachema Theological College and Seminary exist to train the next generation of Missionaries for African local Church with a Global mindset.
Teaching someone to fish rather than giving them a fish is the first step. Teaching someone to be fishers of men who teach others to fish – that's our Biblical mission.
In 2011, Dr. Chris Hughes was invited to join a mission team from Ohana Baptist Church in Honolulu, Hawaii, to visit the Ilocos Norte Region of the Philippines. After the initial visit, Dr. Hughes felt God calling him to openly engage in ministry in the Philippines through his evangelistic organization, Salvation Ministries. Dr. Hughes began to preach Revivals and Crusades in the Philippines and train Churches how to hold Vacation Bible Schools. As hundreds and thousands of people came to know Jesus Christ, a need was seen to train Christian, Bible believing and Bible preaching Pastors who believed in the sufficiency of Scripture.
In 2015, Chris Hughes invited his mission partner, Tal Fogg, to join him on a trip to the Philippines to identify sixteen Pastors whom they would train and engage to join Salvation Ministries as Church planting partners in the Philippines.
Over the next five years, these sixteen Godly men planted nearly forty Churches and lead over 7,000 people to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The need to train Pastors grew and Hughes and Fogg earnestly pleaded with God to show them a way and to provide the needed funds to provide formal seminary training.
Hughes began to visit prominent Christian universities and seminaries cross the United States of America to learn best practices and develop a potential curriculum for future students while Tal Fogg began an earnest fundraising effort. Through an act of Divine Intervention, the Lord provided a significant amount of funds to Tal Fogg. With the funding and curriculum in place, a new organization was created to fund the college, The Fogg Christian Foundation.
In 2022, the Board of Directors unanimously elected Dr. Chris Hughes as its first Chancellor. Under Board President Fogg’s and Dr. Hughes’ leadership, Fogg Christian College began to offer bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs in order to prepare Christian leaders for ministry. Fogg Christian College began by offering online learning and now offers all of its degree programs 100 percent online to those students who need to access an online learning platform. Perhaps most notable is that in its first year since its founding, Fogg Christian College saw more than 1,000 professions of faith through student, faculty, and staff evangelistic efforts.
Fogg Christian College continues to stay true to its mission to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge and skills essential to impact the world for Jesus Christ through excellent education and intentional discipleship in submission to Biblical authority and is eager to welcome donors, partners, students, and friends who share our mission to Light the Way.
