Our Journey

Church History

1998

Founded in Accra

Charis Ministry International was founded in Accra, Ghana, with a small congregation of 12 believers gathered in a home setting. The founding vision was simple: to be carriers of God's grace to every community.

2003

First Church Building

After years of rapid growth, the church acquired its first permanent building in Accra. Membership had grown to over 500 active members, and the first departments were formally established.

2008

First Branch — Kumasi

The Kumasi branch was planted, marking the beginning of CMI's multi-city expansion. The Kumasi church grew quickly, becoming the second-largest congregation within two years.

2012

Takoradi & Tamale

Two new branches were launched simultaneously in Takoradi and Tamale, extending the church's reach to both the Western and Northern regions of Ghana.

2018

Tema Branch & Media Ministry

The Tema branch was established, and CMI launched its online streaming ministry — reaching believers beyond Ghana's borders for the first time.

Today

Growing & Expanding

With 5 branches, thousands of members, and an active digital ministry, Charis Ministry International continues to fulfil its mandate of transforming lives through the grace of God.

Our Doctrine

What We Believe

The Bible

We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God — the supreme authority for Christian faith and practice.

The Trinity

We believe in one God eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — equal in nature, distinct in person.

Salvation by Grace

We believe salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Every person can be born again through repentance and faith.

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the present-day ministry of the Holy Spirit who empowers believers, gifts the church, and convicts the world.

The Church

We believe the church is the body of Christ — called to worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and mission.

The Return of Christ

We believe in the personal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ and the final resurrection of the dead.
