It offers a variety of programmes for both the ordinary Christian who want to have a better understanding of theology in the service of mission, and those in frontline ministry such as pastors and evangelists.
He said the Institute began in 1987 as a centre for research, offering mission and culture training to agents of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, but now fully accredited to run academic programmes at the postgraduate level and run Continuing Education programmes for the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
Rev. Prof. Laryea said the Institute had received a grant from the Scholar Leaders International (SLI) for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure, including all internal internet challenges.
He then appealed for further funding investment to support productive online activities at the Institute.
Akrofi-Christaller Institute offers certificate programmes such as Certificate in Christian Mission and Evangelism, Certificate in Christian-Muslim Relations, Certificate in African Christian Creation Care Studies, and Certificate in Bible and Science.
