The founding members of Christ the King were Anglicans resident in the Sakumono area who were moved by the absence of an Anglican church in Sakumono Estates, when other churches including  Methodists, Roman Catholics,  Presbyterians, and Baptists were fully established in the area.

From its inception, when it was difficult to secure a places for worship, the early members virtually became itinerant worshippers.  However, with hard work and determination, church members were able to start and complete three major projects; namely a temporary place of worship, the current church building and the Mission House, all within  a period of  nine (9) yearsfrom January 1996 to December 2004.

The Christ the King Story is certainly a celebration of all church members – past and present, friends of the Parish, past and present Parish Priests, and visiting Priests and Bishops alike.

The final decision to start a church was taken at a meeting held on                   24^thOctober 1992. This was the third meeting of the church’s founding fathers. Present at the meeting were the Rev’d. Canon Kwame Amamoo (a retired Anglican Priest,) Mother Mercy Amamoo, Catechist J.T. Essilfie, Mr. E. Awuah, Mr. Herbert Solomon, Miss Margaret A. Adama, Miss Jemima Mills, Miss Betty L. Garshong, Miss Marita Sedro and Mr. Martin Olu-Davies.  Many of the founding members are no longer with us.  May they rest in peace.

It was announced at the meeting that the Proprietress of the Bethel Nursery School in Sakumono Estates had granted Anglicans temporary use of the school premises for Sunday worship. 

Consequently, key decisions were taken and they included:

• Applying formally to SSNIT for the use of the JSS block for worship;
• Displaying posters at vantage points announcing the presence of an Anglican  congregation in the Estates (subsequently, a Public Address (PA) system was mounted on a pick-up truck, and leaflets were distributed to homes in the neighbourhood to boost awareness);
• Requesting that other churches announce the Church’s presence at Sakumono during their Sunday services.

The meeting ended with a Low Mass led by  Rev’d. Canon (Rtd.) Kwame Amamoo.

The first Sunday Mass was held on the following day, Sunday, 25^thOctober 1992 at the residence of Canon and Mother Amamoo in Sakumono Estates.   The service was attended by nine (9) members, including seven (7) communicants.  The day’s collection yielded ¢975.00 at that time (approximately ten pesewas {GH¢0.10} in today’s currency).
