Abstract: In the context of higher education, active Church involvement in Curriculum Management and Quality Assurance plays a crucial role in the 21st century. A Concurrent triangulation research design employing mixed methods approach was used in this study to obtain findings from 471 (93% of respondents) from four universities selected using stratified, purposive, and simple random selection techniques. The questionnaire, interview guide, observation check list and documentary analysis were used to collect data. The findings indicated that among the respondents of the study, 62.2% were males and 37.8% were female; with 73% possessing master’s degree while 11% with a PhD. The Anglican Church of Uganda (ACOU) involvement in curriculum management and quality assurance was low, with M: 1.999 SD: 1.084. It was recommended that the Province of the ACOU should empower and support the provincial directorate of Education and Commission for higher education to get fully involved in Curriculum Management and Quality Assurance through routine monitoring and support supervision of her universities of higher learning.
