No government in Ghana has ever made The Summit Lighthouse its national religion.
In fact, under its constitution, Ghana is officially a secular nation with no state or national religion. While the country is deeply religious—with roughly 71% of the population identifying as Christian and 20% as Muslim—the government does not mandate or establish any official state faith.
This question likely stems from a mix-up or confusion regarding a few distinct things:
- The Summit Lighthouse: This is an international New Age spiritual organization founded in the United States by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. While Elizabeth Clare Prophet famously traveled to Accra, Ghana, to deliver lectures and spiritual dictations in 1976, the movement has never held official state status anywhere.
- Lighthouse Chapel International (LCI): You might be thinking of this massive, highly influential charismatic megachurch founded in Ghana by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. While it is one of the largest and most prominent religious denominations in the country, it remains a private religious institution and is not a national religion.
- The National Cathedral Project: In recent years, the Ghanaian government under former President Nana Akufo-Addo initiated a highly publicized plan to build an interdenominational National Cathedral in Accra. While heavily backed by the administration as a national monument for the Christian majority, it was never an attempt to establish a state religion, and the project has faced significant public and political division.
