Assembly of


the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, is the key note speaker of the event.


The Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Chicago congregation, is a merged


congregation of both Bethel and Trinity Presbyterian churches. This timely


merger came into fruition when the Moderator of the General Assembly, Rt. Rev.


Prof. Emmanuel Martey (MTh. MPhil. PhD) visited Chicago in September 2011.

Rt. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Martey (MTh. MPhil. PhD), who sincerely believes


in the Presbyterian Church of Ghana’s motto “That They all May be One” John


17:11, started arbitration between the elders of both Bethel and Trinity


churches. His persistent determination and vision for the Chicago


congregation finally resulted in a peaceful unification of the two churches.


Rev. William Ofosu-Addo, Director of Missions and Evangelism officiated

the first Divine Service of the merged church on November 6, 2011 at 4130 S


Indiana Ave., Chicago IL. 60653 (The congregation’s place of worship)


To date, the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Chicago congregation has a


strong membership of 150. The first Resident Minister, Rev. Samuel Afoakwa Badu


and his family, relocated from Toronto, Canada, on March 19, 2013 to


Pastor the Church.


As we celebrate the “naming” of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Chicago

on May 8th through May 11th, we aspire to building an indigenous


Christian Community and also uphold the centrality of the Word of God through the


enablement of the Holy Spirit.


Please join us at this exciting time in the life of the Presbyterian


Church of Ghana, Chicago Congregation.


The church is reforming, and will continue to reform according to the word


of God – Reform slogan.
