Christian Service University (CSU) has appointed 
Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Twumasi-Ankrah as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Head of the Department of Theology, effective March 1, 2026.
His appointment follows the end of the tenure of Rev. Prof. Yaw Adu-Gyamfi. Rev. Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah brings to the role extensive experience in teaching, research, and academic administration, having served the University in several capacities over the years.
Until his appointment, he served as Coordinator of the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry with Management programme, and the Students’ Outreach Programme within the Department of Theology from 2019 to 2025. He has also been a key member of the faculty team involved in the development of new academic programmes, including the Doctor of Ministry (DMin) and MPhil Christian Religious Studies initiatives, as well as courses such as Hermeneutics and Homiletics.
Beyond these roles, Rev. Dr. Twumasi-Ankrah has held a number of leadership positions across the University, including Chairman of the University Mentorship Programme, Dean of the Weekend School, and Acting Dean of Students.

His vision for the Faculty is wide-ranging. He aims to facilitate the commencement of the DMin programme in the forthcoming academic year and play his role to secure Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (G-TEC) approval for the MPhil in Christian Religious Studies programme. Additionally, he intends to introduce short courses, online programmes, faculty seminars and colloquiums across all departments to enhance academic growth, visibility and student engagement.
