Accra Ridge Church at 90: Members defy morning rains to exercise 

Accra, June 9, GNA – Members of the Accra Ridge Church defied early morning rains on Saturday, turning out in their numbers to participate in a spirited health walk.   

The event formed part of activities marking the Church’s 90th Anniversary celebration.  

Clad in branded anniversary T-shirts and armed with umbrellas, the congregation marched through the streets at Ridge, Accra, demonstrating resilience, unity, and commitment to health and fellowship, a release copied to Ghana News Agency said on Monday.  

“The walk ended with aerobic exercises that combined rhythmic musicals, stretching and strength training at the Main auditorium of the ARC HALL on the church premises,  giving participants a complete wellness experience,” it said.  

Speaking after the exercise, Rev. Fr. Reginald Lawson, Auxiliary Minister and Chairman of the Central Planning Committee for Ridge @ 90, urged the youth to anchor their lives on faith.   

“Let God lead you in all your dealings. If we don’t allow God to lead our lives, it is like putting the cart before the horse,” he said.  

Rev. Fr. Lawson outlined activities for the year-long 90th Anniversary, including Anniversary Lectures, Fundraising Dinner, Kids In Praise, Pentecost Fire, Musical Night, which will culminate in the grand Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, 6th December 2026.  

Mr. Danny Easmon Mawuenyega, Chairman of Ridge Church Council, explained the church’s unique identity, indicating that it continued to serve the community through worship, education, and social impact initiatives.  

Accra Ridge Church, founded in 1936, is an international, interdenominational English speaking Church made up of Anglicans, Methodists, and Presbyterians, which also welcomes other denominations.
