OUR TEACHERS
Meet Our Teachers
At Kafakumba Christian School, we believe that investing in our teachers is one of the greatest investments we can make in our students.
Through our close partnership with Kafakumba Training Center, our teachers and administrative staff participate in ongoing spiritual and leadership development centered on the Seven Principles of the Kingdom of God. These biblical principles shape our culture, guide our teaching, and help us disciple the next generation.
Our staff are currently completing an in-depth program called Journey of Transformation, equipping them to lead with wisdom, integrity, and a heart for serving others.
We invite you to pray for our staff as they continue to grow in their faith and faithfully invest in the lives of every student.
