Kenya Highlands Evangelical University

In 1970 the Bible College Council was constituted, drawing its membership equally from the church and the mission, and charged with the responsibility of managing the institution and improving the academic standards. In 1971 the college admitted its first class of post-secondary students into a four-year curriculum, modeled after degree-granting Bible colleges in North America, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Religion in Biblical Studies. In 1989 the college was registered by the Commission for Higher Education to operate as a private College and was given candidacy for accreditation.The newly named Kenya Highlands University received its Charter on the 23rd March 2011, presented by H.E The President Hon. Mwai Kibaki. KHU is now a fully-fledged University after its accreditation. Throughout their history, the Africa Gospel Church and World Gospel Mission have sought to respond to the needs of the church and community by developing and upgrading their educational training programmes. The current upgrading to Kenya Highlands University is a product of this development as the University continues to strive to be faithful to scriptural truth and relevant to its culture by its educational objective providing higher education that integrates Christian faith with scholarship.
