Editorial Summary
Christian Service University (CSU) is a private Christian university in Kumasi, Ghana, established in January 1974 through the convergence of two educational visions: an initiative by Ghanaian Christians to create an interdenominational institution for academic and Christian ministry training, and a missionary initiative associated with Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ (WEC) to prepare workers for churches and communities in northern Ghana and neighbouring countries.
The institution initially focused on theological and ministry education before expanding into broader academic and professional disciplines. Its programmes now encompass areas including business, communication, social sciences, information technology, health-related education and theology. This development reflects its transition from a specialised Christian training institution to a university serving students seeking both professional qualifications and education grounded in Christian ethics.
