The Tenwek Hospital College School of Chaplaincy
Excellence in healthcare chaplaincy, forming leaders who serve the whole person.
The Tenwek Hospital College – School of Chaplaincy was established in 1991 as the L. Nelson Bell Chaplaincy Training School. Dr. Ernie Steury, who was the first doctor to serve at Tenwek Hospital, realized that the institution needed full-time chaplains to serve alongside the dedicated medical team.
There was no college or university offering training in chaplaincy at the time. That gap gave birth to the vision of opening a chaplaincy school at Tenwek Hospital: a vision we continue to live out today.

Testimonials
Retired chaplain
“I served as a chaplain at Tenwek Hospital for the better part of my adult life. This was a fulfilling experience and I witnessed first-hand how God uses chaplains to inspire, encourage and comfort His people. Given the opportunity, I would go back to the Tenwek Hospital College School of Chaplaincy to get formal training.”
