» About » Sectors

Currently the Ghana Baptist Convention has approximately 1100 churches with membership population of over 65,000. About twenty percent of the Convention Churches have their own church auditorium where they worship. The remaining eighty percent of the churches worship in public or private classrooms, temporary sheds or structures, etc. The Convention has about 400 trained Ministers serving in the over 1100 churches. Presently, the Convention has two traditional training institutions for Ministers in Abuakwa - Ashanti and Tamale. Most ofthe Convention Churches are in deprived and rural areas and there's the need to plant more churches in the cities and urban areas to be able to mobilize more resources to help rural church planting work.
