EA Gospel Academy
A Christ-centred school of music and ministry in Kampala, raising skilled musicians, passionate worshippers and effective church leaders.
About the ministry
A Christ-centred school of music and ministry in Kampala, with one-year certificates in Christian Music, Church Media and Church Administration.
East African Gospel Academy opened in August 2015, five years after East African Gospel began as a prayer fellowship. It is the training heart of the ministry.
The Academy equips worshippers, musicians, church media teams and ministry leaders with the skills, knowledge and spiritual foundation they need to serve their churches and communities with excellence.
Around 250 students train every year across four active training centres, and graduates have gone on to open music schools of their own.
