Platforms of College of Christian Education and Mission

CCEM exists to evangelize the world, teaching everybody to reach out to all categories of people as commanded by the Lord Jesus in Mark 16:15, which says “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

CCEM edifies of the Body of Christ and encourages all Christians to use their gifts as indicated in 2 Corinthians chapter 12. CCEM believes that there is nobody and no ministry that has all the gifts or the means to meet all the needs in the world. So CCEM finds the gifts in the students and exposes them to the tremendous opportunities that are available to them through CCEM/ CEMS numerous partners within and outside the country.

CCEM equips students with the Word of God and Practical Christian Education. There is nothing as deceptive as to consider gifts of people as evidence of salvation. The College believes salvation comes first. Only those who are spiritually alive can bear fruits, not the dead ones.
