A MODERN GH¢820,000 office complex for the Akuapem Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG) has been inaugurated by the Moderator of the church, Rt. Reverend Dr Yaw Frimpong-Manso.
The complex, consisting of 15 offices and stores, was funded solely through contributions by members in the presbytery.
Giving the rationale for the construction of the magnificent edifice, the Chairman of the Presbytery, Rev J.O.Y. Mantey, said since the establishment of the presbytery in 1923, it had been administered from classroom structures, which were not suitable for the presbytery with 65,000 members and numerous schools ranging from kindergarten, primary, junior and senior high schools, colleges of education and a university.
He said a hospitality edifice, which is being constructed nearby, would be completed within six months, and thanked members for their contributions towards the execution of the two projects.
Inaugurating the edifice Rt Revd Dr Frimpong-Manso asked the members to maintain the building well.
He also urged the various congregations within the presbytery to uphold the proverbial Presbyterian discipline, which had contributed immensely in moulding the character of the people, especially the youth, for national development.
For his part, Mr Ofosu Ampofo commended the Akuapem Presbytery for making giant strides in both spiritual and physical development.
He was not happy about certain people, including Christians, indulging in all sorts of negative acts to be rich overnight and called for a change of such bad habits.
Mr Ofosu Ampofo called on Ghanaians to sacrifice for their families, communities and the country as a whole.
The ceremony was attended by dignitaries such as the Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, some traditional rulers of Akuapem, the clergy, as well as some members from the various congregations of the Presbytery,
