The General Assembly of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, EPCG has elected Rev. Prof. Frederick Mawusi Amevenku as the 15th Moderator of the Church.

The election was confirmed through the declaration of voting results last Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the just ended 12th General Assembly of the Church in Ho.

Rev. Prof. Amevenku, who currently serves as the President of Trinity Theological Seminary, Legon, and District Minister of the EPCG Kisseman District, assumes the highest leadership position of the Church following his election by the General Assembly. 

Rev. Prof. Frederick Mawusi Amevenku polled one hundred and 11 votes, representing 72 point five - five percent of the total votes cast, to emerge victorious over his contender, Rev. Prof. Daniel Yao Bruce who garnered 41 votes, representing 26 point eight- zero percent with one rejected vote. 

He is a Professor of New Testament Studies and Biblical Hermeneutics, with research and teaching interests in Mother-Tongue Theologizing, the Gospels, Pauline Studies, Disability Hermeneutics, and Biblical Interpretation in the African context, among other areas. 

Rev. Prof. Amevenku was commissioned into the ordained ministry of the EPCG in 2005. Over the years, he has pastored several districts and congregations in the Church, including Kpedze in the Volta region, Ashalley Botwe, Nima, Adenta, Tetegu, and Kisseman all in the Greater Accra region.

He also currently serves as the National President of the EPCG Pastors' Association. 

He joined the faculty of Trinity Theological Seminary in 2011 and has since risen through the academic and administrative ranks to become the President of the institution. 

With his election as Moderator, Rev. Prof. Amevenku will have to relinquish his current leadership responsibilities. 

These transitions will enable him to devote his full attention to the enormous responsibility of providing spiritual, pastoral, and administrative leadership to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana. He will assume full responsibility of the Church as the Moderator from first of January, 2027.
