The Faculty of Church Security, Peace Studies, and Interfaith Dialogue (FCSPID) is a pioneering academic body dedicated to addressing the critical issues of safety, peace, justice, and religious coexistence in Africa and beyond. This faculty arises from the urgent need to equip the Church and society with knowledge, skills, and theological insight to respond to rising insecurity, violent extremism, religious conflict, and social injustice.
FCSPID provides a multidisciplinary and Christ-centered approach that integrates theology with peacebuilding, security, advocacy, and interfaith engagement. Its mission is to develop spiritually grounded and professionally trained leaders who can defend, protect, and promote peaceful coexistence, justice, and security within faith communities and the wider society.
The Faculty of Church Security, Peace Studies, and Interfaith Dialogue (FCSPID) stands as a frontline academic force for transformation in a world marked by insecurity, religious tensions, and injustice. By merging theological wisdom with practical disciplines, the faculty raises peacebuilders, security experts, and interfaith ambassadors who embody Christ’s call to be peacemakers, protectors, and prophetic voices in their generation.
This department prepares students to assess, plan, and manage safety and security within church environments. Courses address threat analysis, crisis response, emergency preparedness, Church protection strategies, and security ethics. Graduates are trained to serve as security consultants, Church safety officers, and crisis response leaders who safeguard lives, assets, and spiritual institutions.
With a strong biblical foundation, this department explores the causes and dynamics of conflict and equips students with practical tools for peacemaking. Topics include mediation, negotiation, reconciliation, and conflict transformation within church, family, and community settings.

This department addresses the theological, cultural, and social dimensions of interfaith relationships. It promotes respectful dialogue and cooperation between Christians and people of other faiths, especially in pluralistic societies. Students learn to navigate religious diversity with wisdom, clarity, and compassion, standing firm in Christian convictions while building bridges of mutual respect and peace.
Focusing on justice as a biblical mandate, this department equips students to engage in Christian advocacy for the marginalized, oppressed, and voiceless.

Distinct from conflict resolution, this department emphasizes the long-term work of building sustainable peace.

In response to the rise of extremist violence, especially in many African regions, this department offers training in identifying, analyzing, and responding to terrorism threats.
