Church in Ghana

Ghana is 65% Christian and 35% Muslim. Most Ghanaians go to church on Sunday. They are very spiritual people. We have noticed
several churches under various stages of construction in Accra. Here are a few of the most unique buildings we have seen in the city.



Many of the LDS meeting houses in Ghana are rented buildings. There are 10 stakes and several districts 
in the country. We hope to visit most of them while we are on our mission.

Trade Fair and La Wards meet here. We attend the Trade Fair Ward.

You will see a sign like this on the side of the street to identify
LDS churches. 

Batsona Ward building

The beautiful LDS Accra Ghana Temple sits on a lot on Independence Avenue.

The temple was dedicated in 2004 and is a joy to the people of West Africa.

We love spending time on the temple grounds each weekday.

The temple grounds are filled with exquisite tropical plants.

The Christianborg Stake Center sits next to the temple. It is used virtually every day and
night by LDS Church members for a variety of meetings and activities.

Africa West Area Headquarters
This is where our Public Affairs office is located. 

Elder C. Terry Warner and Sister Susan Warner 
These dear people trained us in our responsibilities for a few days before they returned to the United States.
We are grateful for their example and deep love for the West Africans. They will truly be missed.
