About

The International Central Gospel Church  – ICGC – is an Evangelical, Charismatic Christian Church. It was officially inaugurated as a church on the 26th of February 1984, in Accra, Ghana. The first meeting was held in a small classroom with an initial membership of just about twenty people.

From February 1984 to April 1986, the membership grew to about one hundred and eighty (180) adults in regular attendance. The early meetings of the church were held in several facilities which included classrooms, a private residence, a public hall, a science laboratory, a mechanical workshop and a cinema theatre.

In May 1986, the church settled in a rented Norge scout hall – the Baden Powell Memorial Hall – which became its home for the next ten years.

During this ten-year period, the membership rose to over 4,000. This period also saw aggressive missionary church planting activities with local assemblies established in almost all the major towns and cities of Ghana. Several other churches were also planted in cities in Europe and the United States.

The Koforidua Branch was planted 1987 and we have also moved from Experimental School through to Faith Sanctuary and finally settled in our own magnificent auditorium – Jesus Temple. For 35 years, Jesus Temple Koforidua has been led by our beloved Senior Pastor, Rev. Dickson Tuffour Sarpong and first Lady Lucy Sapong Tuffour
