Introduction:

The Church Building Committee was formed in 1996 to source out a parcel of land within a strategic location in the Accra Metropolis, acquire the land and raise funds to construct the church building.

The Committee organized its maiden fund raising the same year (1996) and started searching for a parcel of land to purchase. A member of the Church offered the current site to the Church and this was accepted. The size of the land is about 1.27-acres.

In 1996 a team of architects was engaged to design the church building which was named the ‘Cathedral of Hope’.

In 2004, after the Committee had decided to re-locate to the current site, another group of Architects was engaged and the church building was designed and finalized with the Committee.

A sod-cutting ceremony was organized and work commenced in 2005. By 2006 the Committee decided on some alterations to the initial design which necessitated the extension of the church auditorium and the addition of one floor to the office block.

The Church finally moved into the new premises in an un-completed state in April 2010. The first service in the current premises was held on the Good Friday of that year (2010) under canopies within the auditorium because there was no roof at that time. Service was conducted in this state for about two months before the roof was put in place. Since then, builders’ work has been on-going and is yet to be fully completed.

Membership:

The Church Building Committee has a current membership of ten.

Scope of the Committee:

The current scope of the Committee include the following

Sourcing funds to complete the building. This includes periodic fund raisings.

A weekly contribution by church members for the project.

A monthly donation (called ‘Diamond Club’) from some members of the Church who have decided to join the Club.

Special donations from members and friends of the Church towards the project.

Making sure there is uninterrupted work on the church building till it is completed.

Ensuring that the premises is safe for members and visitors at all times.

Ensuring that there is co-ordination between the main contractor and all sub-contractors during the execution of the project.

Technical Sub-Committee:

The Church Building Committee has a Technical Sub-Committee which is made up of two Civil Engineers, a Property Consultant and an Architect. The sub-committee advises and supervises technical issues on the project.

The Future of the Committee

The current Church Building Committee is expected to metamorphosize into a Project Committee which will oversee all the projects that the Church will be embarking upon in the future and managing same on completion.

It is about service in the House of God (the Church), ushers are the ultimate servants in the church, their main responsibility is to take care of the needs of their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus as well as any guest and visitors present on any day. As a result, ushering is one of the most important services a Christian can perform in service to God and man.
