Abstract
This study examined the contributions of women in the Methodist Church Ghana (MCG)
which is one of the mainline Churches in Ghana. The study aimed at finding out the
contributions of women to the development of the Methodist Church Ghana. The researcher
concentrated on three selected women in the Methodist Church Ghana. They are Reverend
Mrs. Patricia Foli, Mrs. Georgina Baiden, and the late Mrs. Agnes Afriyie Amankwaah.
The main methodology of the study is phenomenological approach. The major research tools
were interviews and administration of questionnaires, important literature on the research
topic was reviewed. The main finding was that the women in the Methodist Church have
contributed significantly to the development of the Methodist Church Ghana. The study made
known that through the help of women in the Methodist Church Ghana some under privileged
children have gotten access to higher education. Again the three selected women have also
contributed to the development of the Methodist Church for instance, one of them has
established an organization in the Church and through their activities a lot of women have
been drawn to the Church.
This study is very significant in that it would serve as a source of document to the Methodist
Church to understand the challenges facing women in the Church. Finally, this study would
serve as a catalyst for further study on women in the church as a whole.
