Young People’s Guild

The idea of the Young People’s Guild (YPG) was imported into the Presbyterian Church of Ghana by one Mr. A. M. Atkinson of the Scottish Mission with the idea of providing a forum for the youth of the church to express themselves in serving the Lord. The Late Atkinson was himself a member of the Young People’s Guild in Scotland. Realising the potential, it had for the mobilization and nurturing of the youth of the church, the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in 1938 gave approval to Mr. Atkinson to form the YPG in Ghana.

The YPG was consequently formed to help bring the Youth of the church together to enjoy fellowship, learn Christian virtues through moral, spiritual, and social training and to be groomed to take up future leadership roles in the church and the society at large.
