The International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) is an evangelical, Charismatic Christian church.[1]

History

The International Central Gospel Church was founded by Ghanaian theologian, Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil.[2][3] The church was officially inaugurated on the 26th of February 1984, in Accra, Ghana.[1] It was the second Charismatic church in Ghana, after the Action Chapel International founded in 1979.[4] The church has its headquarters in Accra.[1]

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.[5] It is currently the biggest private university in Ghana.[6] In 1988, the church started a scholarship scheme called Central Aid to finance the education of selected needy students in pre-tertiary educational institutions. Central Aid is one of the largest non-governmental educational scholarship schemes in Ghana.[1]
