Welcome to Justo Mwale
Reverend Justo Mwale was the first Zambian to be pastor in the Reformed Church in Zambia (from 1929). Since the church’s theological training moved to Lusaka in the seventies, the College has opened its doors to other churches, brought the academic standards and accreditation to an internationally accepted level, contextualised the curriculum, expanded its infrastructure and built relationships with a multitude of similar institutions, churches and individuals. In 2008 the Zambian Ministry of Education awarded the College university status.

JMTUC Celebrates 25th Graduation Ceremony |
|
Justo Mwale held its 25th graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 4, in the campus quadrangle. The ceremony, as usual, was a happy and festive occasion - as can be seen in the pictures in our Photo Gallery. Nineteen students graduated from the BTh program and are now all serving in congregations through Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.
This was the first occasion to have graduates from the Masters Program in Biblical Studies and Hermeneutics. Eight pastors graduated from the program.
Nine students received a Certificate in Women’s Ministry, and another received a Certificate of Attendance in the same program. Nineteen received a Certificate in Stewardship and Sustainability through the Booth Centre’s training program.

Students use and appreciate Book Baskets |
|
The Book Basket Project is now entering its seventh year. Since 2007 thousands of dollars have been spent every year on book baskets for new students. Indeed a very recommendable endeavour to help theological students who cannot afford their own books, to be equipped with the core theological works during their years of studies and in their congregational ministry. The question, however, is: are these books really appreciated and used? A survey was recently done in which over 90% of the second, third and fourth year B.Th students participated anonymously.
