The foundation stone for a multipurpose structure for the Good Shepherd Methodist Church in the Kaneshie North Circuit was laid by the Rt. Reverend Emmanuel Borlabi Bortey, Bishop of the Accra Diocese of the Methodist Church in Ghana.
The four-story Golden Jubilee project will include offices, a permanent hall for youth and service programming, and meeting spaces.
Project
The project has already cost GH 1,664,524, and it is halfway finished. Another 2 million cedis will be required to finish it.
The Bishop of the Tema Diocese of the Methodist Church of Ghana, Rt Rev. Samuel Ofori-Akyea, Very Rev. Doris Saah, Rt Rev. Bortey, and other bishops and pastors who had served under Rt Rev.
During the foundation-laying ceremony for the church, participants prayed for the establishment of genuine faith, the triumph of the fear of God, and the triumph of love for one another.
"May the voice of prayer be heard frequently here, and may songs of adoration and praise be lifted in worship of our King. He prayed, "May sincere Christians worship the true God now and forevermore in spirit and in truth.
He requested that the project stand in strength and beauty and that the work that had already begun be completed without interruption.
Earlier, Rt. Rev. Bortey urged Christians to lead real and truthful lives in a sermon with the title "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
He claimed that the nation required both men and women who could be trusted and led morally upright lives.
multifunctional structure
The search for adjacent plots to build the multi-purpose building became necessary in 1995, after the new church building with a church hall was finished, when it was realized there was still not enough space to accommodate meetings of organizations in the church, according to Dr. Wordsworth Odame Larbi, Chairman of the Foundation Stone-Laying Committee.
He claimed that land parcels had been bought and that the project's groundbreaking ceremony had taken place in April 2015.
History
The Good Shepherd Methodist Church was created from the Bubiashie 'B' Society, which was founded in 1965.
Before a block of land was purchased for the chapel at its current site, the chapel began as an Akan society in a classroom of the Bubiashie North '1' Primary School.
