EBCOM focuses on preparing future Church leaders for leading the Church to have a holistic response to the needs of their communities. It is the aim of EBCOM that when a student graduates, they will have a vision of the Gospel that demonstrates in word and action the love God in all situations.
It is for this reason that each student that attends EBCOM will undertake a practical placement during their study which is aimed at getting the student involved at all levels in the community. Placements such as hospital visitation, visiting the needy, learning practical skills, are amongst those which an EBCOM student will undertake.
In recent years, EBCOM has recognised the need for husbands and wives to study together. To that end, they have focused on providing study programmes for wives and providing good quality family accommodation within the compound.
