The commitment of the college is to train men and women for pastoral ministry in order to get them properly equipped with proper tools of the trade  for carrying on the work of spreading the good news to all God’s people.

HISTORY
St Mark’s Theological College was founded in 1969 to satisfy the needs of having such an institution in the Province above Bible Schools.
The land on which St. Mark’s stands was a camp for freed women slaves from Zanzibar after the fall of that ignoble trade. St. Mark’s history, therefore, stretches for more than one hundred years.
In fulfilling its mission, St. Mark’s Theological College, which is essentially an institution of Anglican traditions, has trained scores of Anglican Church personnel from within the four corners of Tanzania, as well as many others of different denominations from outside the country.

 LOCATION
St. Mark’s Theological College is situated in the centre of the sprawling city of Dar es Salaam, in an exclusive area of Ilala District known as Buguruni Malapa, behind the diocesan women's hostel.

 COLLEGE STAFF
Lecturers are mainly seasoned, well qualified Tanzanians. They are usually made available to the college by their dioceses.

STUDENTS
Students are selected, and sponsored by their dioceses. Students come from among  passers of qualifying examinations.  The college has both resident and day students.  Married students are allowed to bring their families from the second year of their courses. Students’ wives take a special  two year course at the college which is tailored to make them able leaders behind their husbands in their careers.
