Why both schools belong together
Healing is more than technique. Patients and families need skilled hands and attentive hearts. Tenwek has long tried to hold those together, and the college exists so the next generation can do the same in hospitals, schools, barracks, and communities.
The School of Chaplaincy equips people to walk with others through fear, grief, and hope, especially where life is fragile. The College of Health Sciences equips nurses and clinical officers to lead with competence and compassion on busy wards. Different callings; one ethos.
When you study here, you are not choosing between spiritual and medical formation. You are choosing a place that believes both matter, and that neither should be an afterthought.
Formation
What you can expect here
Habits of mind and heart that outlast any single semester.
Integration
Character and craft
We care how you think, speak, and show up. Chaplaincy students engage Scripture and ethics alongside pastoral skills; health sciences students learn protocols beside mentors who model mercy under pressure.
Place
A serious teaching hospital
Complex cases, busy teams, and rural Kenya’s realities shape your education. You graduate with stories from real rooms, not only from textbooks.
Calling
Service beyond self
Whether you preach, pray, or place an IV, the aim is faithful service. We invite you to grow in skill for the sake of others, not for status alone.
We treat, Jesus heals: that conviction runs through our chaplaincy and our clinical programmes alike. Education here is preparation for service, not merely a credential.
