Department of Theology & Ministry

Welcome To Our Department

In the Theology and Ministry Department we seek to lead all students at HCC to know and participate in God’s mission to reconcile all things. We take seriously the charge to love God with all heart, soul, strength–and especially–mind. Our degree is designed to help shape mature Christ followers who join in God’s mission to bring wise, holistic leadership for God’s people, society, and creation through the power of the Spirit.  

You are invited to contact us with any questions. We look forward to coming to know you!

Overview

It is our aim that students who complete this degree will have the character and capability to lead in transformative flourishing for churches and faith-based organizations as well as to bring to bear a responsible and reasonable Christian faith in the marketplace of ideas. In addition, the programme is offered with strong recognition and promotion of HCC’s core values of conviction, character, creativity, compassion, community. Our students serve in a variety of positions such as church leadership and administration, mission, education, and chaplaincy. The programme also prepares graduates for further studies. Students, upon graduation, are equipped and expected to play an active role in catalyzing God-honoring opportunities that benefit their communities and creation.

Sakumono Church of Christ, Chapel Square, Tema, Community 13

When I came to HCC to study, I was happy to learn about the annual Start-Up Business Challenge. I’ve been an entrepreneur, but financial challenges have always stood in my way. At HCC every student is given the needed care, support, and opportunity to start profitable businesses—even theology students. In 2021 I competed in the Start-Up Challenge and was awarded a cash prize of GHc 30,000 to fund my enterprise Eden Beverages. Words cannot express the joy I have in my heart to be a part of the transformative university education I am receiving at HCC!

Evangelical Mission Church of Christ, Juba, South Sudan

I am from South Sudan, and through a church sponsorship I was able to come to HCC in 2019. My mentor, the late evangelist Isaac Kpakpo Adotey, told me to study at HCC so that I could get a different lens to clearly see the world around me. However, my father did not support my decision to pursue theology and ministry. He was mad when I told him that I was going because he doubted that it would lead to a secure, good paying job. Today, I am a proud student in theology, but HCC has also given me lots of business entrepreneurship opportunities. I hold my head up because, besides learning how to be a better minister in the church, I also have learned the skills to start my own business and contribute to my community in South Sudan.

HCC trains students to be well rounded with academic knowledge, personal development, and practical Christian living. The environment is serene and conducive for academic work. The lecturer-student relationships are more like mentor-mentee relationships. I greatly appreciate the theology program’s insistence on rightly handling the word of God. My 4-year study gave me deeper biblical understanding and skills for the work of ministry. I unreservedly recommend those who desire to study theology to enroll at HCC!

New-Town Church of Christ, Accra

Though my dream of studying theology began in my youth, I was in my 50s when I started at HCC. To study at my mature age—as a wife, mother, and busy church leader—has come with “plenty, plenty” challenges. But at every step along the way, people at HCC have helped me reach for my potential. The staff assisted me initially to pass the entrance exams, and my lecturers have continued to motivate me to press on even when the study was difficult. HCC’s splendid library and 24/7 internet was also a big benefit. I give glory to God for His numerous blessings I’ve received through HCC. And I want more to come—especially our sisters—to study theology at this wonderful place.

Jesus Worldwide Ministry, Sowutuom, Greater Accra Region

My lecturers in the theology department were all up to task! I was continually enlightened in my classes, and the coursework is relevant not only for academic scholarship but also for ministerial formation. But more than that, what makes HCC special is the respectful and warm relationship between the faculty and students. The lecturers treat students with a sense of maturity and instill these traits in many of us. I am proud that I was the first female to graduate in the department—I even received First Class honors and graduated second overall in my entire class!
