The letter continued that all transactions relating to the anniversary should be rooted through the account number 5011130012713, Ghana Commercial Bank, Ho.
Rev. Dzanku said the EPCG was a product of the missionary effort of the North German Missionary Society (Bremen Mission).
He said that the Church was started on November 14, 1847, at Peki in the Volta region with the arrival of Rev. Lorenz Wolf.
The Clerk said that it was because of Togbe Kwadzo Dei Tutu, King of Krepi’s (Peki) invitation through his son Rev. Lorenz Wolf, who arrived at Peki on 14th November 1847 that marked the birth of the Church.
From its humble beginnings, the Church grew and spread to all parts of Ghana and beyond.
