Welcome

And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2 Timothy 2:2

Get Started

WHAT IS THE GOAL?

The goal for every Bible School student is for he/she to graduate equipped to be a minister of the Gospel. For some this means returning to the workplace; others return to the churches where they were already pastoring. Some graduate and plant new churches. The fourth group of people will become full time missionaries. Regardless of the path one takes after graduation, each and every student is equipped and encouraged to begin sharing the Gospel with and discipling his/her community.

Church Planting

Okoa Refuge believes that every church should have a qualified pastor. However, attending an accredited Bible College or Seminary is not an option for many rural pastors. Okoa believes that this should not stop them from being able to learn the Bible and grow in their leadership and faith.

WHAT IS DBS?

"DBS" stands for Discovery Bible Study. The DBS model is a participant-led discover journey into learning and understanding what the Bible teaches. The DBS is the way into a community and truly guides people through the Gospel!

WHAT ARE THE CHURCHES?

Once the graduate's DBS group qualifies, Okoa comes alongside and supports the construction of a church! The church is not constructed by Okoa, alone, however. Before Okoa will come in, the church members are required to provide the land for construction.

About us

Church Planting and Bible Schools

The first Okoa Refuge Bible School ran from May 2011 - May 2013 with 45 men and women graduates. Since then, 55 more classes have graduated and 50 are currently running. So far, over 1,000 men and women have graduated from the intensive program.
The school meets one week each month for 24 consecutive months. People travel from their homes to come and spend an intense week learning the truth behind the Scripture. Okoa ensures that every student has his or her own text book and a qualified teacher to teach the class. Students are responsible for their own meals, accommodations and transportation. The students also provide for the needs of the teacher.

Sponsor A School

You have the incredibly amazing, wonderful and unique opportunity to fully or partially sponsor a Bible School. This means that YOU can be responsible for 20 men and women receiving the opportunity to learn the Bible, learn how to Biblically lead and how to effectively communicate! It's only $75/month to sponsor an entire school! That's the best deal you will find anywhere!

What do we Teach

Okoa Bible Schools use a curriculum developed by Harvest Time International. Okoa has translated the curriculum into four different languages in order for students to be able to learn in their own native tongues. Courses include (but are not limited to): Foundations of Faith Old & New Testament Survey Spiritual Strategies Biblical Worldview Methodology of Multiplication

Send A Missionary

Okoa believes so much in its Bible School graduates that we highly encourage them to become missionaries! Most will go back home and share Christ with their families and neighbors. Bible School definitely does not stop with the student! A few of them are chosen to be long term missionaries around Uganda and across East Africa. These people are sent out and cared for by the incredible staff at Cornerstone Church. After the two year Bible School program, they complete the Perspectives in World Missions course and work hand in hand with the Cornerstone missions department. So what’s the cost? Each missionary costs only $400/month to send and keep someone on the mission field! Such a small figure to make a huge impact!

CHURCH HEALTH

The Church Health Department was launched out of a growing need to ensure the health of the 115 churches Okoa has planted. The goal of the department is to visit and assess the health of each and every pastor once a year.

COME AND TEACH

If you are a pastor - or a layperson with specific training - and feel the pull to come and teach our pastors, we would love to talk with you! Okoa hosts two pastor conferences each year.
