Profile of the Ghana Bible College

Mission

Quality training for ministry and community service

The College exists as an institution of the Churches of Christ to provide quality training in Biblical Studies, Christian Ministry, and Community Service to fulfil the mission of Christ through spiritual and social development.

Our Story

A legacy of ministry formation

The College has trained preachers, ministers, and church leaders who have gone out to preach, plant churches, minister to the saints, and support congregational development in Ghana and beyond.

Its forerunners include Sewell Hall, Wendell Broom, Jerry Reynolds, Dewayne Davenport, John Oppong Gaidoo, and Samuel Buahin Obeng. Their sacrifices helped shape the institution into a major centre for preacher training and church leadership development.

College leadership has continued to preserve the founding intention of training sound, dedicated evangelists and leaders who can uphold the gospel and nurture the church for generations to come.
