Trusted by thousands

Uganda stands at a crossroads—a nation with over 90% of her pastors untrained and with a population hungry for change in almost all aspects of society. PDN is launching Cornerstone university to train pastors, theologians, and marketplace leaders who will engage in innovative ways to contribute to Africa’s flourishing.

We are excited to share a bold vision with you—the establishment of Cornerstone University in Uganda, a new institution dedicated to transforming both the church and society for generations to come. This university is not just an academic endeavor; it is dream to equip the next generation of leaders who will bring about lasting change in their communities, their country, and the world.

Cornerstone University is built on the conviction that education is a powerful force for good and can have a profound effect on the church’s effectiveness. Our goal is to provide an education that goes beyond knowledge, one that shapes the character and values of each student. By combining academic excellence with a strong moral foundation rooted in Christian principles, we aim to develop leaders who are equipped not only with the skills they need to succeed but also with the integrity and compassion necessary to make a meaningful impact.

Here’s what Cornerstone University will bring to Africa and beyond

Pastoral Training and Empowerment

One of the most critical roles the university will play is in pastoral training. We will equip pastors and church leaders with the theological depth, leadership skills, and practical ministry tools needed to shepherd their congregations effectively. By strengthening the leadership of the Church, we believe we can foster spiritual growth, deepen faith, and empower the Church to address the critical social issues facing our communities. By preparing a new generation of church leaders, Cornerstone University will contribute to a flourishing and dynamic church across Africa and beyond.

Ethical and Professional Integrity

Cornerstone will instill a strong sense of ethical responsibility in all of our students. We will train men and women who will lead with integrity, placing the needs of others above personal gain. These leaders will be prepared to tackle societal challenges with integrity, wisdom, compassion, and responsibility. Graduates will be equipped not only with technical expertise but with the moral courage to make decisions that honor God and serve the common good, fostering a more just and compassionate society.

Holistic Education

Our curriculum will nurture students in every area of life—intellectually, spiritually, and emotionall —ensuring they graduate with the character and vision to make a difference in the world.

Cultural and Intellectual Contribution:

Cornerstone University will foster an environment where faith and reason meet, encouraging African students to engage deeply with their faith while tackling the big questions facing society today.

Global Vision

As part of our mission, we aim to produce graduates who are not only leaders in Uganda but also responsible global “kingdom minded” citizens, engaged in issues like poverty reduction, human rights, and environmental sustainability.

Creation Care

At Cornerstone, we will emphasize the importance of caring for God’s creation, preparing students to address environmental issues and promoting sustainable practices that benefit the nation and the planet.

Cornerstone University will be a beacon of hope and transformation, creating a ripple effect that spreads across Uganda and beyond. The church will be empowered, communities will be strengthened, and future generations of leaders will be equipped to bring about lasting, positive change.

We invite you to be part of this exciting journey. Your support will help us lay the foundation for a university that will shape the future of Uganda and the Church for decades to come. Together, we can make this vision a reality—a university that not only educates but transforms.

Thank you for your generosity and partnership in this mission.
