Accessible, contextual theological education for ministry leadership in Africa.
The Evangelical Seminary of Southern Africa (ESSA, formerly EBSemSA) was founded 1980 with the aim of offering high quality theological education to those who didn’t have access to theological training on that level. Today ESSA is still pursuing that goal, although times have changed drastically.
