The Chaplaincy of Christian Service University continued to advance its mission of spiritual formation and student support during the second quarter of 2026 through teaching, counselling, leadership development and welfare initiatives.
Speaking on the Chaplaincy’s activities during the period, the University Chaplain, Rev. Anthony Boateng Agyenim, said regular staff fellowship sessions focused on an exposition of the Book of Colossians. Discussions extended beyond biblical interpretation to practical issues affecting contemporary Christian living.
He explained that topics explored included family relationships, marriage, parenting, financial stewardship, workplace ethics and the responsibilities of Christians in society.
Spiritual nourishment was also provided through the University’s Wednesday worship services, which bring together staff and students for prayer, worship and the sharing of God’s Word. The Chaplaincy occasionally invited external organisations and resource persons to educate members of the University community on opportunities available to them.
During the period, representatives of the Students Loan Trust Fund engaged students on available financial support opportunities, while financial institutions interacted with staff during fellowship sessions on services relevant to their professional and personal needs.
Beyond worship activities, the Chaplaincy continued to support student leadership development. Rev. Agyenim disclosed that the Chaplaincy was actively involved in the vetting processes for Students’ Representative Council (SRC) elections and the selection of student chaplains and executives of the Christian Service University Community Church.
The Chaplaincy maintained close ties with the Ghana Fellowship of Evangelical Students (GHAFES), a national interdenominational Christian student movement. As a Patron for the Mid-Ghana Zone, Rev. Agyenim said the Chaplaincy regularly collaborates with the organisation to facilitate student participation in its programmes and leadership activities. He noted that several CSU students have continued to distinguish themselves within GHAFES, with some occupying leadership positions at the zonal level.
The Chaplaincy also participated in thanksgiving, handover and farewell ceremonies held for student leaders and graduating students.
In addition, the Chaplaincy collaborated with the Counselling Unit to provide counselling and mentoring services to students and staff facing personal, academic and social challenges. The office also assisted students experiencing financial difficulties by mediating discussions with parents and guardians and helping to identify possible sponsorship opportunities where necessary.
According to Rev. Agyenim, the Chaplaincy regularly joins management in prayer sessions held on Fridays to seek God’s guidance for the University and its operations.
The Chaplain further noted that many students continue to demonstrate commitment to spiritual activities through active participation in worship services and by offering their talents in support of the University’s ministry programmes.
He reaffirmed the Chaplaincy’s commitment to supporting the University’s vision of holistic education through spiritual growth, leadership development and pastoral care.
