The Copperbelt Ministerial College (CMC) is a ministry of the Reformed Baptist Churches of the Copperbelt Province in Zambia. The college was established in 2007 out of a burden to make quality ministerial training accessible to the many Zambian pastors who desired a deeper knowledge of God’s Word. The Lord provided an answer to this burden in the formation of CMC.
Drawing students from various evangelical churches, the college offers a 4 year Bachelors’ degree program for theological study. The Bachelors’ degree is certified by Reformed Baptist Seminary in the USA. The primary focus of the college is to equip men for pastoral ministry; the curriculum has been developed specifically to fulfil that purpose. The College offers intensive courses in all areas of study necessary for the men to be competent and well prepared for every good work in ministry.
The CMC faculty includes men from the US, UK, Latin America, other African countries and, of course, Zambia! Among the lecturers are pastors with decades of rich ministry experience, published authors, and men with advanced theological degrees.

We follow a modular approach of teaching where two courses are taught in one week consisting of 12-15 lectures each. A module is conducted once per quarter, totalling eight courses per year. This flexible method, allows students to remain in their full time employment and still profit from live lectures. During the one week students are hosted by members of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in Ndola were modules are taught. A students’ guest house is currently under construction to meet this need.
We recognize that no school can or should take the primary role of ministerial training, which is the responsibility of the local church through experienced pastors. Therefore, the college demands that students participate in supervised ministerial work during their training. An internship and mentorship program is integrated in the training. Students are assigned to church leaders for this very purpose.
All courses taught consists of at least 12 - 15 hours of lecture, 300-500 pages of reading, 10-20 pages of writing assignment(s), and a final exam. The assignments are taken home after each module and completed in between modules.
