The church decoration team formerly known as Church decoration and Flower Ladies is made up of committed women and men who have volunteered their services to decorate the interior of the church with flowers on Sundays and also with garlands on special occasions like the Christmas festivities. The group of made up mainly of older women and their numbers keep dwindling as the years roll along. They have a male member and could use a fresh injection of young ladies and gentlemen willing to learn the art of flower décor. On Sundays, the splendid array of flowers bedecks the sanctuary and gives glory to God for the wonderful gift He has graciously endowed. The team sometimes supervise the pruning and nurturing of the plants and herbage around the church. During the dry period, when there are very few flowers to be found on the church grounds, the team would generously bring flowers from their own collections at home and from other sources. There is hardly if ever any lacking in flowers for decoration. As a church we really appreciate the efforts this team has made over the years in maintaining the standards in the interior décor of the church. |

Early in 1980, a Visitation Committee was formed "to help the chaplains in the church's ministry of caring for the sick and members individually." To enable members of the Visitation Group fully meet the spiritual needs of the members of the Church, every first Monday of the month is devoted to Bible study, how to comfort and encourage people in distress, illness or bereavement and also how to pray. |

Neighbourhood Fellowships
Area meetings as they were called at the time began in 1968 spearheaded by the need for church members to know each other in their neighbourhoods. In 1974, 16 areas were identified where meetings could be held. Each Area group had a leader who would visit area members, arrange meetings and provide the Ministers with periodic reports.
Later on, the area meetings were encouraged to add Bible study to their activities and also provide the forum to discuss important church matters. Suggestions at these meetings were passed on to the Council.
The area groups were restructured in 1984 into smaller neighbourhood clusters and renamed Neighbourhood Fellowships. A Council member was appointed as Coordinator for these Fellowships. The Coordinator had oversight of the Fellowships, would visit their meetings as an observer and report to Council periodically on their activities.
The vision of the Fellowship is to ensure that every church member actively participates in a cell group to foster the continuous spiritual growth within neighbourhoods and provide spiritual, physical and material support to church members should the need arise.
The established groups are: Adabraka/Asylum Down, Legon, Abelemkpe, Dome/Parakuo, New Achimota, Odorkor, McCarthy Hill, Tesano, Cantonments, Labone, Latebiokorshie, Kaneshie, North Ridge, East Legon, Manet, Adenta, Ringway Estates/Osu, Korle-Bu, Kokomlemle, Dansoman and Haatso. Fellowship meetings are held once a week, fortnightly or monthly as decided by members.
The Fellowships engage in topical studies, Bible study outlines and on Christian events like Christmas and Easter. Occasionally a guest speaker is invited to lecture on a topic after which follows discussion of salient points. Fellowship Week, quarterly leaders' meetings, end-of-year get-togethers and other social activities are also held.
The Neighbourhood Fellowships help build bridges amongst the members of the church and ensures their welfare in a more meaningful way.
