Ramseyer Memorial Presbyterian Church

Ramseyer Memorial Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church in Adum, Kumasi, Ghana

Ramseyer Memorial Presbyterian Church is a stone church in Adum, Kumasi, built in 1907 by the Basel missionaries under Fritz Ramseyer and the missionary-architect Karl Epting. The congregation, mostly African converts, supplied communal labour for the chapel and the minister's conference building. A newer cathedral seating 3,000 stands alongside an 18-unit, two-storey primary school block with 12 classrooms, an ICT centre, a library, an office and a multi-purpose hall.

Fritz Ramseyer, a Swiss-born Basel missionary held captive by the Asante from 1869, returned to Kumasi in 1896 and founded the mission station, buying land in Bantama with Thomas Owusu's help. The stone chapel was built in 1907 by Ramseyer and missionary-architect Karl Epting with communal labour from African converts, and was named Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. After Ramseyer died on 6 August 1914, moderator C. E. Martinson renamed it in his memory.

The Women's Fellowship began in 1937 with lessons at the Basel Mission House in Adum, taught by the wives of the Basel missionaries, and was formally inaugurated in 1939 by the Rev. M. A. Obeng. It now runs a canteen and a nursery school. The Men's Fellowship, founded on 26 January 1970 by the Rev. F. W. K. Akuffo with 25 members, organises periodic "Bring and Buy" auctions.

The church stands in Adum, Kumasi, near the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital area where Ramseyer first bought land in 1896. The 1907 stone chapel was raised with communal labour from mostly African converts, so look for the older stonework beside the newer 3,000-seat cathedral. Services use English and Asante Twi.

The church's Men's Fellowship was founded on 26 January 1970 by the Rev. F. W. K. Akuffo with 25 members and nine executives; Akuffo was the father of Sophia Akuffo, later Chief Justice of Ghana's Supreme Court. The fellowship raised funds through periodic "Bring and Buy" auctions and donated a minivan for evangelism.
