Shepherds Training College (STC) is a private Christian institution categorized as an Other Degree Awarding Institution (ODAI) recognized by the government of Uganda. STC was founded in 2018 based on the need in East Africa for competent, affordable, biblical, and theologically-sound Christian tertiary education.

In February 2019, STC received its first group of students from a variety of churches and denominational partners.
