CAPA, in collaboration with Central Africa Baptist University (CABU), is providing theology training to pastors in remote regions of Malawi who lack access to training or face barriers to formal education due to factors such as language, ministry commitments, and financial constraints.

Our Timeline
Official Start
CAPA had its official start in 2014, but its roots go further back to the planting of International Bible Fellowship Church (IBF Church) in 2007. The first intake of students was at the Diploma level, and soon was added a Master’s of Divinity degree. At its height, CAPA was offering formal training at various levels (Diploma, Bachelor’s, and M.Div.).
COVID19 Pademic
In 2020, COVID-19 forced Malawi's schools to close, affecting missionary leadership and faculty at CAPA. In early 2021, CAPA reopened, holding a graduation for Diploma and MDiv students. The period was significant, leading to new ministry positions and a small staff. The school remained in existence but not admitting students until a fresh start could be made.
Fresh Start
Men from IBF Church, Reformation Bible Church, and Grace Bible Church came together to talk about the future of CAPA. The pastors of these like-minded churches in Lilongwe were trained at TMAI schools (Christ Seminary in South Africa and CAPA in Malawi) and they
CAPA Now!
With a team in place, unity of purpose, and the support of TMAI, 2023 was very busy. We hosted multiple conferences, modules, and workshops. Part of the team attended Shepherds’ Conference in Los Angeles (March), the TMAI Africa Summit in Uganda (August), and visited like-minded schools in Zambia (September). We took the first step towards reopening formal training by applying for Provisional Registration with NCHE (which was granted in late September- we thank the Lord!).
Central African Preaching Academy
We exist to exalt Christ and strengthen His church in Africa by training pastors to understand, live out, and effectively communicate God’s Word.
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.
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.
