🌱 Ministry Overview

Welcome to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG) Children's Ministry where children are embraced as an integral part of God's kingdom and nurtured to become the light of Christ in their homes, schools, and communities.

Founded in 1847 through the missionary work of the Norddeutsche Missionary Society in Bremen, Germany, EPCG has remained deeply committed to ministering to children in every congregation planted. Our children's ministry reflects this legacy by fostering faith, joy, and community among our youngest members.
