Christ Presbyterian Church, Akropong, Protestant church in Akropong, Ghana
The church stands as a central religious structure in Akropong-Akuapem, featuring traditional architectural elements and accommodating numerous congregants during services.
Founded in 1835 by Danish minister Andreas Riis, the establishment marks the first Presbyterian Church in Ghana, with initial growth catalyzed by West Indian missionaries in 1843.
The church conducts services in both English and Twi languages, reflecting the integration of local traditions with Protestant Christian practices in the Akuapem region.
The Presbyterian College of Education, established in 1848 near the church, continues to operate as an educational institution forming teachers and community leaders.
The church maintains its position as the original Presbyterian establishment in Ghana, operating through a system of pastors, presbyters, and deacons for local governance.
