Why Attend?

The Wilberforce Academy South Africa’s fourth annual Academy Week is a transformative, residential program designed to equip Christians to faithfully engage with every area of life. Drawing inspiration from William Wilberforce’s legacy of social reform, the Academy aims to help delegates apply biblical principles to contemporary cultural challenges.

What to Expect:

• Biblical Teaching: Gain a biblical framework to engage with pressing socio-cultural issues such as identity politics, land reform, and the realities of a failing state.

• Vocational Peer Groups: Join others in your field, be it law, politics, business, education, healthcare, science, agriculture, media, public service, or ministry to reflect, pray, and sharpen one another for faithful action.

• Cross-Cultural Community: Be part of a diverse gathering of delegates from South Africa and other African nations, united by a shared commitment to bring the love, truth, justice, and hope of Jesus to every part of society.

• Practical Tools: Receive practical tools to help you speak truth and live faithfully in your sphere of influence.

• Ongoing Support: Become part of the Wilberforce Collective, a growing movement of Christians equipped for faithful cultural engagement.

Programme Themes:

• Biblical foundations for authority and culture

• Truth and the philosophical capture of socio-cultural institutions

• Culture, race, and identity

• Life and family: Value of life and God’s pattern for family

• Theology of vocation and work

How to Apply:

Applications are open until November 2, 2025. Spaces are limited, so apply early to secure your spot. Scholarships are available. Apply now here.
