Our Mission

Central African Preaching Academy exists to exalt Christ and strengthen His church in Africa by training pastors to understand, live out, and effectively communicate God’s Word. We are a part of The Master’s Academy International, a nonprofit organization providing educational and financial resources to a fellowship of biblically sound training ministries worldwide.
  • This is the greatest need we have in our country: preachers and teachers of the Word of God who can teach the Word correctly. But how can one teach correctly if he or she has not been taught correctly? ...CAPA is the answer to the need!

  • CAPA is not just there to train you to become a good pastor or good preacher. No, CAPA is also there to help you have the correct understanding of your own salvation and how you’re supposed to live as a child of God.

  • My first desire was to learn Greek and Hebrew, because I want to teach my fellow Malawians how to study God’s Word, present it, and live it out.

Our Distinctives

An unswerving commitment to preaching the Scriptures

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, sufficient Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Therefore, learning to accurately interpret and faithfully proclaim the biblical text is central to our training.

Learning that impacts living

Pastoral ministry requires more than academic excellence. Those who desire to devote their lives to ministry must not simply know the Scriptures, but also live them (1 Tim 4:16). Hence we seek to cultivate holiness, self-sacrifice, and other Christ-like character qualities in our students’ lives.

Prioritizing the local church

God has given pastors to the church to equip the saints for the work of the ministry and to build up the body of Christ (Eph 4:11-12). Consequently, our curriculum requires students to complete practical ministry assignments in their churches. Our prayer is that our graduates would be dedicated servant-leaders of the local church.

Pastors training pastors

Our faculty is composed of pastors who bring years of fruitful ministry experience and proven spiritual leadership in a church context to the classroom environment. As they pass on what they have learned to our students, we hope that those students will in turn pass on these things to other faithful men (2 Tim 2:2).
