The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, has expressed deep satisfaction with the progress of work on the Kutunse Bicentennial Legacy Project, describing the current stage of construction as “significant, impressive and encouraging.”
Speaking during a visit to the site ahead of the 26th General Assembly, the Moderator said he was grateful to God for the opportunity to witness how far the project had advanced since his last inspection in November. “I want to say a big thank you to God for the opportunity to come and see the progress that has been made,” he said.
He noted that the building is now preparing for roofing, with major internal works nearing completion. “We are seeing significant progress—preparing for painting, ready for them to go up there tomorrow. This means we should be getting ready to move this building into real time,” he stated.
The Moderator added that once the roofing is completed, the team will tidy up the entire structure, bringing the 1,600‑seater auditorium closer to full completion. He also inspected the syndicate rooms and other spaces, noting that new ideas had emerged which the Technical Committee, contractors and consultants would incorporate to ensure a beautiful and functional edifice. “We will have a beautiful building we can be proud of,” he said.
He praised the global fundraising efforts that have supported the project so far, acknowledging the enthusiastic response from congregations. “Our members responded with a lot of enthusiasm, and we are grateful,” he said. Looking ahead to the upcoming fundraising event on Sunday, 16th August, the Moderator issued a passionate appeal to Presbyterians everywhere: “I want to urge Presbyterians wherever you are to come and join us to make this fundraising activity a wonderful one. Let us raise as much funds as we can so we can push the project forward.”
He stressed that the contractors are ready to begin tiling, fixing doors and windows, and completing other finishing works, but require financial support to maintain momentum. “They need money, so let church members let the money flow in, and the work will move faster,” he urged.
