Ghana Company Builds 101 Churches, 50 More Underway

A business empire in Ghana just marked its 23rd anniversary with a stunning announcement: it has built 101 churches across the country and started construction on 50 more.

Eric Seddy Kutortse, founder of the First Sky Group of Companies, shared the milestone during a thanksgiving service in Accra on January 25. His company has quietly built more than a hundred places of worship over two decades while running successful businesses.

The new project goes even further. First Sky is constructing 50 church facilities for the Assemblies of God in the Greater Accra Region, each with a mission house for pastors and support buildings. The company aims to finish all 50 sites by the end of 2025.

Kutortse says his mission is simple: create wealth to support faith communities and clergy across Ghana. His approach challenges the idea that business success and spiritual service sit in separate worlds.

The Ripple Effect

The church buildings do more than provide worship spaces. In many Ghanaian communities, churches serve as gathering places for weddings, community meetings, and support networks. By including housing for pastors, First Sky ensures religious leaders can live and work within the communities they serve.

The construction projects themselves create jobs for builders, electricians, and craftspeople. Combined with related First Sky initiatives that have generated over 6,000 jobs and committed millions to healthcare, the company shows how business resources can strengthen community infrastructure.

Other Ghanaian companies are watching. As First Sky celebrates its anniversary, the model of faith-driven corporate giving gains attention in a country where both entrepreneurship and religious communities play central roles in daily life.

Churches in rural areas especially benefit from these projects, gaining permanent structures where congregations previously met in temporary spaces. The pace of construction demonstrates what sustained corporate commitment to community development can achieve.

This January announcement comes as Ghana's economy shows signs of turnaround, creating fresh optimism about what local businesses can accomplish when they invest in their communities.
