The building project was funded by the congregation of the church and completed within a year-and-a-half.

The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church Ghana, Reverend Dr Stephen Yenusom Wengam preaching on the topic “The Spirit of Holiness” said God was urged church members to be holy devoid of sin.

Rev Dr. Yenusom said Christians must reflect the holiness of God. ‘’ Our lives must reflect holiness or this building would be meaningless.”

Rev Frimpong-Manso also com­mended the Head Pastor of the chapel, Rev Dr Slyvanus Amegasgiti Elorm and the congregation for their dedication in putting up the building.

He urged them to cultivate the culture of maintenance to protect the edifice.

In a brief history of the chap­el, Rev Dr Elorm said they started operating in a classroom block with eight members but currently has 550 members comprising 350 adults and 200 children.

He thanked God for His guidance and support in enabling them to exe­cute the assignment on time.

“From a single classroom to 800-seating capacity ultra-modern auditorium is the doing of the Lord and we want to say thank you to Him,” he added.
