The Governing Council

The Governing Council is the supreme governance organ of the Divine Theological Training Institute. Working under the authority of the African Divine Church, the Council provides strategic direction, approves policies and safeguards the institute's mission, vision and Christian identity.

Responsibilities

• Approving the institute's strategic plan, annual budget and performance targets.
• Appointing and evaluating the Chief Principal and other senior officers.
• Approving new academic programmes and major partnerships before they are launched.
• Overseeing compliance with the laws of Kenya, regulatory requirements and the standards of examining bodies.
• Safeguarding the institute's assets, reputation and code of conduct.

The Council brings together church leaders, educationists and legal, finance and governance professionals, and meets at least quarterly. Its committees oversee finance, academics and audit matters in line with good practice for training institutes in Kenya.

The Council's decisions are implemented by the Management Board under the leadership of the Chief Principal. See the wider organizational chart.
