INTRODUCTION: Heritage and History
|
|
|
Akrofi-Christaller Memorial Centre for Mission Research and Applied Theology is named after two past great scholars of the Twi language and pioneer figures in the cultural witness of the Church in Ghana.
The Centre stands in a tradition that combines piety, creativity and academic excellence in the furtherance of the witness to the gospel in Ghana and across Africa.
This was the hallmark of the training given in the historic Akropong Seminary whose buildings, (Basel House in Akropong-Akuapem), constructed in the 1840s and 1860s but renovated by the Centre in 1992, and expanded in 1996-1998, the Centre now occupies.
The Centre has modern and well-maintained residential and catering facilities, a significant and up-to-date specialist library, and lecture and study facilities in a historic setting where issues of gospel and culture are a day-to-day concern.
The 30 staff members seek to model Christian community, meeting for daily worship as the accompaniment of academic and pastoral activities. The Centre was formally established by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) in 1987 as an independent body, a company limited by guarantee and registered under the Companies Code as a charity.
The legal and administrative structures of the Centre were designed with a view to creating an institution that would be sustainable, financially self-supporting and sufficiently open to serving also the needs of the wider Christian and academic communities. We very much appreciate your visit and value every time you spend with us. Explore our website and find out more about ACMC.
