The Titi-Ofei Fellowship for Theological Education
Know the Word. Lead the work.
A Fully Funded Residential Theology and Ministry Formation Programme.
Full Academic Funding | Monthly Stipends | Practical Ministry
The Titi-Ofei Fellowship prepares gifted and called young African Christians to become biblically grounded, spiritually mature, intellectually equipped and practically effective ministry leaders.
Two Academic Pathways. One Complete Formation Journey.
This is more than a scholarship. It is a complete formation journey designed to raise pastor-scholars who can understand the Word, live the Word, teach the Word, lead the work and serve their generation.You can start by choosing from any of the routes below:
MA in Biblical Studies and Practical Theology
With a first degree: pursue the MA in Biblical Studies and Practical Theology, subject to the approved degree-awarding university’s admission requirements.
ATHE Level 6 Extended Diploma
Without a first degree: suitable applicants may be considered for the ATHE Level 6 Extended Diploma in Theology and Management. This Level 6 diploma is not itself a bachelor’s degree and does not automatically guarantee progression to the MA.
Bishop Dr Gideon Titi-Ofei, FCMI
The Founder’s Conviction
For more than 20 years, I have invested in developing thousands of young pastors and ministry leaders. This Fellowship takes that work to the next level by giving gifted and called young Africans the education, formation, experience and support they need to build ministries that endure.
