Africa Nazarene University (ANU)

Established in 1993 with a Letter of Interim Authority, Africa Nazarene University (ANU) is a private Christian university affiliated with the international Church of the Nazarene. Located in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County, with a Nairobi Town campus, ANU serves over 4,000 students.

The university operates five schools including Law, Business, Science and Technology, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Religion and Christian Ministry. Its Wesleyan-Holiness tradition integrates faith and learning across all programmes.

Accredited by CUE and the Council of Legal Education (CLE), ANU ranks 44th nationally. Its Christian foundation and location on the outskirts of Nairobi make it a preferred choice for students seeking a faith-based university education with professional law and business training.

Africa Nazarene University emphasizes research in theology, business, and education, publishing in reputable journals and hosting annual research conferences. The School of Religion and Christian Ministry advances research on African theology, church history, and the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition in the African context, while the School of Business investigates entrepreneurship, ethical leadership, and faith-based business models. The School of Law contributes legal scholarship on human rights, governance, and constitutionalism. The School of Science and Technology conducts research on ICT applications for development and environmental science. Partnerships with Nazarene Theological Seminary, Point Loma Nazarene University, and Olivet Nazarene University (USA) support faculty exchange and collaborative research in theology, education, and social sciences. The Africa Region Nazarene Education Consortium connects ANU to Nazarene institutions across Africa. Research output increasingly informs church policy, ethical business practice, and educational development, bridging Christian scholarship with African contextual challenges across Kenya and the wider continent.
