IT Specialist

Protestant University of Rwanda

The Protestant University of Rwanda (PUR) is a non-governmental, accredited higher learning institution owned by various Protestant churches in Rwanda, operating as a faith- based organization. It continues the efforts initiated by the churches through the School of Theology, known as the “École de Théologie de Butare (ETB),” which was established in 1970 by two Protestant churches: The Presbyterian Church in Rwanda (EPR) and the Union of Baptist Churches in Rwanda (UEBR). The school was founded to address the shortage of trained pastors within Protestant churches. Over time, other Protestant churches joined the original two founders.
