Explore: Deeper in God’s Word, Wider into God’s World

Explore graduations are significant moments in the life of the programme. They provide an opportunity to celebrate the goodness of the Lord with those who have faithfully journeyed through the course to completion.

These occasions are also important for the wider community, as churches and families gather to celebrate and honour their loved ones who have completed the Explore programme. In this way, graduations not only mark achievement but also help promote the value of theological training within local churches.

Graduates from Explore’s Eastern Region.

16 students from Nobles Light House Church, Nairobi, recently graduated from Explore. Their pastor, Bishop James Njuguna, shared the following feedback:

“The Explore Programme has been transformative for our leadership team, equipping the pastors, elders, small group leaders and staff with robust biblical training, a missional hermeneutic rooted in Scripture, and practical discipleship and ministry skills. These graduates are now leading with greater confidence, fostering discipleship, church growth, and community outreach in ways that align our vision with God’s kingdom purposes. Thank you, Pastor Misheck for bringing the Explore Discipleship Programme to us. We will forever be grateful. ”
