Could the very ground we stand on hold the echoes of an ancient empire? Here, before True Worshippers A/G, in the heart of Kumasi, layers of history intertwine with modern faith. True Worshippers A/G stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of this vibrant city. Kumasi, once the capital of the mighty Ashanti Empire, pulses with a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Let’s journey back to the 1680s when Asantehene Osei Kofi Tutu I established Kumasi as the heart of his kingdom. Legend whispers that Okomfo Anokye, a powerful priest, planted a sacred Kum tree, giving the city its name, meaning “under the Kum tree”. True Worshippers A/G, though a modern church, is rooted in this rich tapestry of Ashanti history. The very streets around us once witnessed the rise and fall of an empire. Kumasi, a hub of trade and culture, thrived under the Ashanti kings. It faced invasions and wars, yet its spirit remained unbroken. The British burned parts of the city in 1874, but like the resilient Kum tree, Kumasi grew back stronger. Today, True Worshippers A/G, with its designated service times of 7 AM to 9 AM and 9 AM to 11 AM, serves as a spiritual sanctuary amidst the bustling energy of the city. As we stand here, imagine the echoes of history mingling with the voices of worshippers. The scent of incense might be replaced by the aroma of tropical rain and blooming gardens, a reminder of Kumasi’s nickname, “The Garden City”. True Worshippers A/G is a part of this living history. It represents the enduring faith of the people of Kumasi, a faith that has seen empires rise and fall, wars fought and peace restored.
