Who is ALARM?

ALARM stands for African Leadership and Reconciliation Ministries. We are an African led and African based organization that focuses on equipping leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to truly transform their communities.

With the help of friends and partners ALARM has trained close to 9 thousand leaders across east and central Africa in biblical theology, conflict resolution, forgiveness, mediation, leadership skills, and reconciliation. ALARM’s programs are designed for grass roots church and community leaders, women, youth, government officials, teachers, military professionals and Christian professionals (lawyers, police and chaplains).

Many of the countries we serve in have had years of war, tribal conflict, genocide and political turmoil. ALARM believes that the transformation and development of Africa rests in the hands of Africans who have been effectively equipped to lead, bring about peace and maintain stability. ALARM therefore focuses on equipping Africans through training, to transform communities through servant leadership and the Christian message of forgiveness and reconciliation.

Through our training programs ALARM develops leaders, reconciles relationships and transforms communities.

Our Mission

ALARM exists to empower the African church to impact the African continent by developing and equipping leaders with skills and tools to nurture and deepen the Christian faith for the transformation and reconciliation of the African communities.

Our Vision

The vision of ALARM is a strong biblical church in Africa transforming and reconciling communities.

Our Core Values

  • Christ-Centered in our being and doing. Honoring Christ through prayers, service, faithfulness, and gratitude.
  • Cooperative in ministry valuing relationships and partnerships that are diverse and creative in their approach to solving Africa’s complex social and spiritual problems.
  • Faithful in our stewardship of the people, talents, gifts, and resources that God entrusts us with.
  • Trustworthy as servants of the Lord in word, deed, and conduct.
  • Respectful of our cultural differences and valuing one another as individuals while promoting open communication, innovation, personal growth, and organizational excellence.

We are:

  • Convinced that without strong pastoral leadership in Africa, the church will remain superficial, syncretistic, and without true transformation, spiritual growth, and maturity.
  • Committed to empower the Church in Africa by equipping pastors and leaders to nurture others in the Christian faith for the holistic transformation of their communities.
  • Church-Focused with a heart for leadership, evangelism, and discipleship in the local church, and preparing God's people for works of service wherever they find themselves.
