OUR VISION
South Africa is a multi-ethnic society made up of 56 million people, encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, economies and religions. South Africa is a nation of beauty, natural resources, distinct ecosystems, and diversity. It is also a land of political frustrations, injustice, poverty, inequality, disease and self-interest.
South Africa’s educational history is as colorful as its struggle for democracy. It would be an understatement to say that obtaining an education equates to attaining freedom and a better life in South Africa. Education, in a post-apartheid era, continues to be shaped by challenging social, cultural, racial, and spiritual issues.
“Education is the most powerful weapon that you can use to change the world”
A COUNTRY WITHOUT A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Currently South Africa does not have a Christian, liberal arts, degree granting institution of higher education. For the last three years a team of South African and American Christian leaders and educators have researched the possibility of building a Christian school of higher education in South Africa. After interviewing pastors, educators, government officials, church leaders, media, missionaries and Christian parents in South Africa, the need for an institution for higher Christian education was confirmed.
Christian Worldview
Genesis South Africa will promote a Christian worldview in the context of academic rigor within a caring, faith community.
Mentoring, Prayer, Worship
Professors will mentor, counsel, and pray with students. Chapel services will be held where faculty and students can worship together.
Biblical Integration
Business students will not only learn about economics and marketing, but what the Bible says about money and integrity.
Preparing Christian Teachers
Education students will learn the philosophy, psychology, and practice of education from a biblical and moral perspective.
Spiritual Growth
Students will grow in their knowledge of educational principles, but also grow in their faith and spiritual maturity.
A Lifetime of Service
Future graduates will not merely study to prepare for a living. Genesis students will be shaped to live lives as disciples of Jesus Christ, and His kingdom.
