Who we are

A gathering place for Ghanaians building a life in Kansas City

From Kansas City, Missouri to Overland Park and Olathe, Ghanaian families have been meeting, praying, celebrating, and supporting one another for years — mostly over WhatsApp voice notes and word of mouth. This website is the next step: a calm, permanent place where anyone can find out who we are, what’s coming up, and how to get involved, in a size of text everyone in the family can actually read.

Our mission

"To keep our Ghanaian family in Kansas City connected — in faith, in culture, and in everyday life — while opening our doors to anyone who wants to share in it."

— Greater Ghanaian Community of Kansas City Planning Committee
