Meet Venerable Alex Uzor
Venerable Alex Uzor is an Anglican priest in the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), serving in the Diocese of Awgu/Aninri, Enugu Ecclesiastical Province. He wears many hats in the diocese as the Bishop’s Administrative Assistant, Chaplain of the Diocesan Girls’ Guild, Archdeacon of Nenwe Central Archdeaconry, Diocesan Media Director, Coordinator of the Diocesan Monthly Mission Programme, Dawn of Joy, and Chairman of the Diocesan Annual Harvest Planning Committee.
His academic journey reflects a deep commitment to learning and excellence. He holds a Diploma in Multimedia from TGC Institute, New Delhi, B.Th from South Asia Theological Seminary, Bangalore, another B.Th from St Paul’s Theological College, Awka, a PGDE from the National Teachers’ Institute, Kaduna, and an M.Th in Church History from St Francis of Assisi Theological College, Wusasa. He is currently pursuing an M.Ed in Educational Technology at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, and a PhD in Church History at St Paul’s Theological College, Awka.
Beyond his pastoral duties, Venerable Uzor is a digital media expert and consultant with expertise in web technologies, video production, digital marketing, content creation, social media, branding, artificial intelligence, and live streaming. His passion for digital media technology and his advocacy for the Church and pastors to utilise and deploy these tools for global gospel mission and church growth led him to start the Digital Church Project, a platform dedicated to equipping churches and pastors with practical skills and strategies for effective online engagement.
Through his Facebook page: Digital Archdeacon, he expresses a deep passion for teaching Anglicanism and sharing the rich heritage of the Anglican Church. His work includes stories, interviews, documentaries, and news that inform, inspire, and strengthen both clergy and laity within the Anglican Communion and beyond.
In 2024, with the kind support and episcopal approval of the Bishop, the Rt Revd Dr Benson Chukwunweike, he made history in the Diocese of Awgu/Aninri as the first clergy within the diocese to lead an ordination retreat that included the ordination of four deacons and one priest, the installation of two canons, and the collation of one archdeacon.
He has written several research papers awaiting publication in academic journals. He is also the author of the soon-to-be-released book: This is Anglicanism, with other titles currently in the works.
Born on 19 May 1982 in Oba, Idemili South LGA of Anambra State, Nigeria, Venerable Uzor continues to serve with a passion for seeing lives transformed and the Church strengthened through both traditional ministry and innovative digital engagement.
