Enoch Nii Narh Thompson inducted for second term as Baptist President

Reverend Enoch Nii Narh Thompson has been officially inducted for a second four-year term as the Executive President of the Ghana Baptist Convention (GBC). The induction ceremony, held in Accra, also marked the commencement of Reverend Charles Oppong-Poku’s second term as Vice-President. The proceedings were conducted by the convention's former president, Reverend Dr. Ernest Adu-Gyamfi, formalising the leadership team's mandate to oversee the denomination's affairs until 2028.

Central to the new term is the launch of a strategic plan titled 'Operation 2000 by 2030.' This initiative aims to expand the convention's footprint by increasing the number of congregations from the current 1,500 to 2,000 over the next six years. Reverend Thompson emphasized that this expansion is not merely numerical but part of a broader commitment to spiritual growth and the mission of the church across Ghana.

Beyond church planting, the leadership team will focus on enhancing the convention’s financial sustainability and human resource development. Reverend Thompson highlighted the importance of improving financial support structures to ensure the GBC can self-fund its various ministries and developmental projects. He also noted that the convention would continue to prioritise Christian unity and interfaith dialogue, positioning the church as a key partner in national peace and social cohesion.

This second term provides the Executive President with the opportunity to consolidate the gains made during his first four years in office. By integrating spiritual outreach with institutional strengthening, the GBC leadership aims to build a more resilient and impactful religious body. The convention's focus on structured growth through 'Operation 2000 by 2030' signals a proactive approach to religious administration and community engagement in the coming years.
