The Presbyterian Seminarians Union (PSU) of Trinity Theological Seminary, Legon, has donated GHS5,000 to support the ongoing Kutunse Project. The presentation was made during the union’s annual courtesy call on the General Assembly Office, where seminarians reaffirmed their commitment to the church’s vision and future.
Presenting the donation, PSU Chairman Charles Baffour Adjei said the gesture reflects the seminarians’ dedication to the growth of the church, despite the financial challenges many of them face. He noted that the Kutunse Project is central to the church’s long‑term mission, and seminarians felt compelled to contribute to “a project that defines the future of the PCG.”
Receiving the donation, the Moderator of the General Assembly, Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, expressed deep appreciation to the seminarians for their sacrifice. He described the Kutunse Project as “the dream of the fathers” and encouraged the students to speak about it boldly and support it whenever possible.
He urged them to always think about the broader good of the Church and to contribute meaningfully wherever they serve in future. The visit brought together first‑, second‑, and third‑year Presbyterian seminarians, accompanied by the Warden, Rev. Dr. Charles Amarkwei, and the Vice President of Trinity Theological Seminary, Rev. Dr. Martin Obeng.
The delegation was welcomed by the Clerk of the General Assembly, Rev. David Aboagye‑Danquah, who introduced directors and staff of the Assembly Office. During the interaction, the PSU Chairman introduced the current and newly elected executives and presented a situational report on behalf of the union.
He expressed gratitude to the Church’s leadership and Presbyterian lecturers for their continuous support toward ministerial formation. He highlighted the importance of the monthly stipends, research allowances, and book allowances provided to seminarians, noting that these interventions significantly ease academic and spiritual development.
He also shared updates on preparations for commissioning, announcing that seminarians set to be commissioned have received suits, clerical shirts, shoes, and hats ahead of their ceremony on June 7. He commended the Church for initiatives that strengthen ministerial training, including visits from seasoned ministers, groups, and families who continue to mentor and encourage seminarians.
Touching on challenges, he mentioned financial constraints faced by some students and difficulties associated with off‑campus attachments, particularly accommodation, funding, and supervision.
Addressing the seminarians, the Moderator thanked the faculty for their dedication to raising the next generation of ministers. He reminded the students that ordination after probation is based on conduct and performance, urging them to approach ministry with discipline, integrity, and a deep sense of calling. He encouraged them to study diligently, uphold Presbyterian values, and contribute actively to evangelism and discipleship across the country.
