A word from the dean
Meet the full academic staffWelcome to the Faculty of Theology of ICOF Global University.
For many years, our Faculty has been committed to preparing men and women who faithfully interpret the Holy Scriptures, serve the Body of Messiah with integrity, and provide transformational leadership to churches and communities around the world. Our mission is not simply to educate students academically, but to form disciples, scholars, pastors, missionaries, educators, and Christian leaders whose lives reflect the character of Yahusha the Messiah.
Our curriculum combines biblical studies, systematic theology, church history, missiology, pastoral ministry, contextual theology, African theology, leadership, and research. Students are challenged to think critically, engage contemporary issues biblically, and minister effectively within diverse cultural contexts.
Whether you are preparing for pastoral ministry, missionary service, theological research, chaplaincy, Christian education, or leadership in public life, the Faculty of Theology provides a learning environment that integrates scholarship, spiritual formation, and practical ministry.
We invite you to join a global community committed to serving Yahuah through knowledge, faith, and compassionate leadership.
