About LEMA Seminary
Why LEMA Theological Seminary (LEMASEM)?
Though Christianity is exploding in Africa, lack of opportunities for higher education have left the church with many untrained leaders. It is believed that more than 70% of ministry leaders in Africa do not have any formal ministry training.
Without knowledge of God’s Word and a biblically trained leader to guide them, it is difficult for African Christians to live faithfully in the midst of political instability, poverty, and trauma. This leaves many churches vulnerable to corruption, false teachings, and ungodly worship practices.
Furthermore, the ethics of ministry in Africa remains at its lowest ebb. The cumulative result is that even while the African church is growing in number, it has not activated its full potential for sending missionaries to the world.
The LEMA Theological Seminary, (LEMATS), a ministry of the LEMA Institute is established to address these needs by providing innovative education opportunities that train and equip pastors and ministry leaders to know God’s Word, to serve God’s people well and to lead others to Christ.
The LEMA seminary began as an Institute in 2015, offering Certificates in Christian Leadership and diploma in Pastoral Ministry. Today, more than 120 students are enrolled at LEMA for diverse certificate and degree programmes.
Rev. Joshua Amaezechi
President
LEMA Theological Seminary exists to equip Christian leaders in Africa for healthy, biblical, financially independent ministry. This is accomplished through academic and ministerial programmes of training that offer “total discipleship of the head, heart and hand”. Through these programmes, theological education is offered within the African contexts at diverse levels via multimedia technology and traditional classroom methods. Though our Certificate and degree programmes are designed specifically for religious vocation, our students are prepared to be versatile so that they can make informed Christ-centered responses to a changing world.
