It was the second Charismatic church in Ghana, after the Action Chapel International founded in 1979. The church has its headquarters in Accra.
Social responsibility
The church has made significant socially responsible contribution to Ghana. The Central University College, a privately owned co-ed tertiary educational institution, is owned by the church. It is currently the biggest private university in Ghana.
