Our History
The church began as an English-speaking fellowship in the Baptist Reading Room, Kumasi on the 19th day of July 1964 at the invitation of two Baptist missionaries namely Rev. Maurice Smith and Miss Evelyn Stone who also led the fellowship up to June 1965. Rev. Maurice Smith was replaced by Rev. W.A. Arnold at a time the number of baptized members of the fellowship had risen to 60.
In 1967, after Rev. Maurice Smith had finally left Ghana for Furlough in America, Mr. Emmanuel Ephraim was elected leader of the fellowship and it was under his leadership that the fellowship was organized as a church called Grace Baptist Church on 30th June 1968 with 68 members.
