The outgoing Moderator of the General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Right Reverend Dr Bliss Divine Agbeko, has paid a farewell courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama ahead of the end of his six-year tenure.
The visit also provided an opportunity to formally introduce his successor, the Reverend Professor Fredrick Mawusi Amevenku, who is expected to assume office on January 10, 2027.
Right Reverend Dr Agbeko commended President Mahama for his leadership and reaffirmed the Church’s readiness to partner the government in advancing its development agenda, particularly the Feed Ghana initiative.
He indicated the Church’s willingness to contribute its institutional experience, agricultural programmes and nationwide network to support efforts aimed at strengthening food production and improving livelihoods.
President Mahama, in response, acknowledged the significant contributions of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, to national development, particularly through its extensive network of educational institutions and agricultural relief programmes.
The President also recognised the Church’s longstanding role in complementing government efforts in education, agriculture and social development.
The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, was present at the meeting.
The engagement provided an opportunity to recognise the outgoing Moderator’s service to the Church and formally introduce the incoming head of the General Assembly ahead of the leadership transition in January 2027.
