The Gold Coast church achieved complete independence in 1918, after the British colonial government's expulsion of Basel missionaries as a threat to national security during World War I. Following this deportation, the districts of Abiriw, Adawso, Adukrom, Amanokrom, Anum, Larteh, and Mamfe were formed.

[12] Both were born in 1843 to Jamaican missionaries; Peter Hall was the son of John Hall, while Nicholas Timothy Clerk was the son of Alexander Worthy Clerk.
