Our History

It is by grace and not by human might that a prayer fellowship which was started by a few faithful believers in someone's living room could grow into a large Congregation. Like the popular Chinese proverb "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step", so is the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (Adom Congregation) which was started in the year 2000 as a prayer group by four members of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG): Brs. Samuel Boadi, Eric Frimpong, Yaw Mintah and the late Joseph Amankwah.

Before long, the prayer group was on the move reaching out to more people. The rapid rate at which the prayer group grew in numerical strength brought the need for a bigger place of worship. In response to the need, the prayer group moved into a room at the Langley Park Community Center. In the course of time, the leaders of the prayer group decided to transform the prayer group into a Congregation. Soon after launching the congregation, the name "Adom” adopted through a democratic process. As an integral part of the newly named church's life and

witness, the leaders' resolved to evangelize among other Ghanaians living within the Hyattsville, College Park, Silver Spring and Laurel vicinities. As the outreach was yielding fruits and bringing new members, the meeting

place for the congregation changed twice after the first gathering before finally settling at the current meeting place in Greenbelt, MD. In the quest to make the church as functional as the church grew, the founding fathers in 2001 collectively nominated some members to serve as leaders of the newly constituted congregation. An election was held to enable and expand the existing session and fully integrate other members into the congregation. The following were elected as Presbyters and were commissioned on May 25, 2002.

The late Mr. Joseph Amankwah, Mr. Frank Kojo Ghansah, Mr. Dickson Agyemang, Mr. Fred K. Wiafe, The late Mrs. Charlotte Donkor-Ware, Mr. Reynolds Asamoah Currently, the numerical strength of the congregation stands at over three hundred members.
