PGD Christian Theology

The curriculum of PGD Christian Theology is designed to hold in balance learning and morality. It creates a meeting point for the heart and the mind, with strong bias for Christian religious and theological values. It offers you a unique opportunity to achieving eternal values, which has begun in the here-and-now of human endeavours. It emphasises the continued vision and mission of the Church in Nigeria for a better society.

The programme fills the gap for basic and advanced moral and theological education in Nigeria, forestalling the mass exodus of Nigerians for theological educations abroad, which are not even accessible and affordable to all. The programme is planned to benefit people, who are currently involved with inter-religious dialogue projects, for teachers in tertiary institutions and missionaries world-wide.
