Our Facilities
The NBCEA Rongai Center provides a well-equipped environment for theological study, community life, and ministry formation.
Library
The NBCEA library at the Rongai Center provides students with a quiet and well-organised reading area designed to support focused theological study and personal research. The space is arranged to accommodate both individual study and small-group work, offering a conducive environment for academic engagement throughout the college year.
The library collection includes a broad range of resources covering biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, pastoral ministry, and missiology — including books, academic journals, reference materials, and denominational publications from the Church of the Nazarene. Students are encouraged to make full use of these resources to deepen their theological formation and support their coursework.
Hostels
The Rongai Center hostel offers comfortable on-campus accommodation for residential students, with capacity for between 1 and 12 people at a time. Living on campus enables students to participate fully in the rhythms of college life — chapel, fellowship, study, and ministry — while benefiting from a safe and supportive community environment.
Prior booking is required for all accommodation requests, as hostel space is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Students wishing to reside on campus should contact the admissions office well in advance of their program start date to secure their place.

The rooms are equipped to support a variety of event formats, providing a versatile venue for both academic and ministry activities.
Prior booking is required for all conference room reservations. External organisations and church groups wishing to use the facilities should contact the college office in advance to confirm availability and make the necessary arrangements.

Prayer and Worship Center
The chapel at the NBCEA Rongai Center serves as the spiritual heart of the campus, providing a dedicated space for daily corporate worship, prayer, and Scripture engagement. Regular chapel services bring the entire college community together, anchoring theological study in lived faith and fostering a culture of holiness and devotion that permeates every aspect of college life.
Beyond scheduled services, the prayer and worship center is available for personal prayer, small-group intercession, and special spiritual formation events. Rooted in the Wesleyan-holiness tradition, the space is designed to be a sanctuary where students encounter God, are renewed by the Holy Spirit, and are sent out equipped for ministry across the Africa East Field.
Classrooms
The NBCEA classrooms at the Rongai Center are designed to provide an engaging and focused learning environment that supports both lecture-based instruction and interactive discussion. Each room is arranged to encourage participation, dialogue, and the kind of collaborative theological inquiry that is central to the NBCEA academic experience.
The learning environment at NBCEA reflects the college's commitment to holistic formation — spaces where students not only receive theological knowledge but are challenged to think critically, engage Scripture deeply, and apply their learning to the realities of ministry in East Africa. Faculty bring both academic rigour and pastoral experience into the classroom, creating a rich and formative educational setting.
Student Support Services
Student Support
NBCEA is committed to the holistic wellbeing of every student, providing pastoral care, academic support, and access to basic health and welfare services at the Rongai Center. Faculty and staff are available to walk alongside students through the challenges of academic life, personal difficulties, and the demands of ministry formation, ensuring that no student faces these challenges alone.
The college maintains connections with local health facilities to ensure that students have access to medical care when needed. Academic support services — including tutoring assistance, library resources, and lecturer office hours — are also available to help every student reach their full potential, regardless of their prior educational background.
