Reverend SBJ Oshoffa
The establishment of schools for the advancement of theological knowledge in Celestial Church of Christ never came to reality throughout the life time of the founding pastor of the church, Reverend Samuel Bilewu Oshoffa because he never believed in them, Oshin says.

Imoleayo Imolemide Oshin in a Facebook post wrote:

"During his lifetime, Oschoffa had maintained a negative posture towards theological education because he did not see it as a source of spiritual growth or enlightenment for his followers.

"He often defended this standpoint by saying that God had looked past educated people and chose him, who could not read, to become 'the messenger to the world'."
