Abstract: The study investigated Church Involvement in Curriculum Implementation and Quality Assurance Standards of Anglican Church of Uganda and was guided by the following Research Questions; How does the Anglican Church of Uganda’s involvement in curriculum implementation contribute to the internal Quality Assurance Standards of her universities in Uganda and to what extend does Anglican Church of Uganda’s involvement in curriculum implementation contribute to the External Quality Assurance Standards of her universities. 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 the coefficient for curriculum implementation in the quality assurance model is 0.193, indicating a positive relationship between curriculum implementation and quality assurance. The findings suggest that the impact of curriculum implementation on quality assurance is substantial (Beta = 0.480**; p<0.001). It was recommended that the ACOU put in place a supportive and functional system with qualified personnel to enhance proper curriculum implementation and quality assurance.
