Abstract
This study assessed Christian faith in relation to economic development of Ghana using some Christian Workers in Ghana's public sector in Kumasi as a sampled case study. Sectors studied were the judicial service, the public education sector, the health and the police services. Christian faith used in the study referred to normative values that would inform activities of individual Christian workers in the public sector economy. Consequently, the framework of the study is obtained from New Institutional Economics that is employed for the analysis of the relationship between values and economic performance. The data came via unstructured individual and group interviews, supplemented by observation and related literature. The study has shown that apart from a few who actually translated their faith into productive lives, majority of Christians in the unit of analysis have participated one way or other in corrupt practices that to a large extent, undermined the economic development of Ghana.
