About Us

IDEOLOGY OF THE CHURCH  

Located and started within a peculiar student environment with various needs and concerns, the leadership then idealized and muted the idea of growing the church through evangelism and benevolence. These students came from all over the world and had urgent needs like the first-century church.
The first minister and ordained preacher of the church took office in 2002. The minister, together with the then leadership, then conceptualized it and named it “The Jerusalem Concept,” using benevolence and unflinching care with the utmost love for one another to conscientize and orient the members, who in no time bought into it. We say to the glorification of the Lord that this ideology has grown beyond our imagination with the guidance and direction of God, with the Church of Christ, Legon, known among the leading benevolent churches in Ghana. Given that the art of giving is accompanied by a corresponding blessing, the church can confidently assert that it has received blessings beyond our comprehension and continues to flourish. Our vision as a church was then fashioned along this ideology, which automatically informed our vision, mission, and core values, as well as our philosophy and culture. This approach changed members’ way of giving (offertory) as the church was always at the forefront of solving various concerns and needs of brethren.

To become the leading benevolent church in the Greater Accra Region and beyond, modeling the first-century Jerusalem church.

The Church of Christ, Legon, exists to create the necessary and enabling environment for prospective Christians who are desirous to worship God in Truth and Spirit and are at all times determined to pursue sound biblical truth through sound teachings and specially designed life-modeling topics to equip them for better Christian living.

Reasoning with our Brother John who visited the Patmos Island and had a revelation endorsing Sunday as the Lord’s Day resolved to begin our day with the Lord before attending to our Individual, family and Social Needs. The Term “God First “was coined as a declarative statement to drive punctuality and regularity to Church.   This meant Church started every Sunday from 7:30 am and ends at 10:30am

Our local version of the “People’s Assembly” serves as a platform where the minister and church leadership engage directly with the congregation. During these sessions, leadership presents itself before the broader membership, providing an opportunity for congregants to express their concerns and offer constructive feedback.

This initiative has proven beneficial to the Church, as members are encouraged to share their views freely in a respectful and orderly manner. The feedback received is carefully considered and integrated into the church’s programmes and activities.

Additionally, regular auditing and the consistent presentation of financial accounts further strengthen transparency and accountability within the Church.
