Ghana Wesley Methodist
Church, USA 5th Anniversary and Harvest
Ghandot.com
The Ghana Wesley Methodist
of USA, Arlington, Virginia, celebrated its 5th
anniversary with a harvest on November 12, 2006. |
|
 |
The officiating pastors were
Rev'd Dr. Kwasi Kwakye-Nuako of Ghana Wesley Methodist
and the Rev'd Yaw Nkasah of the Presbyterian Church,
USA.
The current Wesley Methodist Church in Arlington came
into existence when 13 of the 16 founding members of the
Gaddiel Acquaah Memorial Methodist Church of Alexandria,
also established by Ghanaians, separated from the latter
church.
According to the Social Secretary of the Wesley
Methodist Church, Mr. Joe Andorful, they “had to
separate to form our present church due to an imposition
of a Pastor from Ghana on us, by the former presiding
bishop when we were not ready.”
The separation occurred on October 21, 2001. And in the
words of the social secretary, “the Church was born”
when the old members from Gaddiel Acquaah Memorial
Methodist Church met on October 24, 2001 and decided to
form their own church.
On October 28, 2001, the enterprising members had their
first church service at a Methodist chapel located at
2315 South Grant Street, Alexandria, Virginia.
Forty-three members of the old Gadiel Acquaah memorial
attended the first service.
Since then, the membership of Wesley Methodist Church
has grown to 169 and it is still growing. It has elected
its own pastor, has its own pastor and a choir of some
20 men and women.
Many of the pioneering members were present at church on
the Sunday of November 12, 2006. Among them were Dr. and
Mrs Albert Wright, Sis. Agnes Acquah, Bro. Joe Andorful,
Sis. Mercy Andorful, Dr. Ben Gyepi-Garbrah, Mrs. Felicia
Gifty Ofori-Atta and others.
