History
The university began as a school in October 1974 with four students. This was after the Worldwide Evangelization for Christ, a missionary group in Ghana acquired land to start a school.[3] The vision then was to train people for Christian ministry in Ghana and also to train people to help expand the church in northern Ghana. This has now matured to a vision to establish an advanced evangelical, interdenominational, theological University in Africa.[4]
