On Jan. 25, Calgary’s newest Presbyterian congregation ordained six members to the office of the ruling eldership and admitted them to session.
The Ghanaian Presbyterian Church, Calgary, began as a small community in January 2012, worshipping in a member’s home. Rev. Frank Adu and elders from Ghanaian Presbyterian, Toronto, provided guidance, and on June 8, 2014, with 27 charter members professing their faith, GPCC was established as a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. An assessor session was appointed.
Six months after its official beginnings, the congregation was thrilled to install its own members to its governing body.
“We give thanks for God’s faithfulness and for calling the church into being,” said Rev. Dianne Ollerenshaw, interim moderator.
