Bishop Richard Ahiagbedey, Head of Adonai International Ministries at Community 12 and Rev Alfred Akumbie, Senior Pastor of Love Assemblies of God Church at Community 18 are Executive Officers/Trustees.

Dr Asore appealed to them to always make themselves approachable, have respect for others, and endeavour to live above reproach. Outlining the aims and objectives of the Organisation, Rev Nabegmado said TMO aimed at uniting ministers of the gospel, to pool ideas and resources for the socio-economic growth of the Metropolis. He said the Church had made significant strides to the advancement of the country and was optimistic that the TMO would further build upon Ghana's development and ensure its continued peace and stability. Nii Adjei Kraku 11, Tema Mantse, appealed to TMO to live up to its aims and objectives, in order to help uplift the image of the Metropolis.
