The Ghanaian Protestant Congregation began with mobilisation for prayer and fellowship amongst Ghanaians and other Africans who met occasionally to sing. In 2005, the Congregation was formally inaugurated and the first group of interim presbyters were appointed into office to administer the Congregation. 2006 marked the final election of the full Presbyters and in 2007, Rev. Timothy Annoh became the Congregation’s first resident Pastor.
The Congregation is interdeminational in nature and constitutes of Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, and other Christians. There is no ethnic boundaries; we are Christians from Ghana, Togo, Benin, Austria and elsewhere. The Church has the international flair and we welcome everyone. The legal provisions of the Protestant Church A.B and H.B. apply to the Ghanaian Protestant Congregation and its members.
The purpose of the Congregation is to serve members of the Ghanaian Community and other Africans who desire to worship in the "African traditions" within which they had been brought up. This provides the opportunity to sing, worship, pray, share the word and serve God in a culture which is familiar and understood by these communities. On another level, the congregation serves as a basis to facilitate activities of the resident Pastor in his duties as defined within the framework of the Church Partnership between the Protestant Churches in Austria and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. Divine services and other ceremonies are performed in English; therefore, every Christian with or without affinity to Africa can join and worship with us. The Congregation aims to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue and mediation to enhance co-operation among people of African origin and other national.
