The Protestant University in Congo is an institution of university education. It was created in 1959 on the initiative of the Protestant Church in Congo (Church of Christ in Congo) and benefits from the civil personality by the ordinance n ° 190 of June 9th 1965 and the decree n ° 06/0106 of June 12th 2006. His story follows the curve of the socio-political evolution of our country.
Indeed, from the Faculty of Protestant Theology of the Belgian Congo and Rwanda-Urundi in 1959, the institution became Faculty of Protestant Theology of the Free University of Congo (ULC) in 1963, then one of the faculties of the ex -National University of Zaire (UNAZA) In 1971, after its exclusion from the latter in 1974 following the secularization of education by the power at the time, the faculty of Protestant Theology became in 1975, by decision of the third National Synod of the ECC, an associate body of the Church with its own Board of Directors. In 1989, the opening of the Faculty of Humanities next to the Faculty of Theology transformed the name of the Protestant Faculty of Theology into Protestant Faculties.
