THE EBENEZER METHODIST SCHOOLS

In 1995, the Ebenezer Methodist Society Church, Madina, conceived the idea of establishing a school on the church premises to provide an additional social service in terms of quality basic education for children in the community. A committee headed by the then Minister-in-charge, Rev Dr Seth Aryee, was set up to plan the modalities. Initially, it was decided that the school start in Wilson Memorial Hall – the old chapel. The idea was abandoned partly because the hall was not spacious enough, and also because it may have required structural changes. It was finally decided that a permanent building should be constructed for the school. 
Very Rev. Samuel Kofi Osabutey, who succeeded Rev. Dr. Seth Aryee, lent strong support to the idea of a permanent school building and worked tirelessly towards its implementation. In July 1997 Rev Osabutey had the opportunity to study at the Haggai Institute in Hawaii. While there, he discussed the idea with Rev. Dr. John Stroman, a long-standing friend in the US and Head Pastor of the Pasadena Community Church. Rev Dr Stroman readily accepted to help and indeed moved his church to send the initial funds of USD12,000.00 to start the project.
