In a video on X, the congregants who were present quickly came out of the church and started finding ways to quench the fire as they waited for personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS).
Some of the congregants threw sachets of water through the windows that had been broken, while others carried buckets of water to help quench the fire.
Most of the men who were helping douse the fire took off their shirts and rolled their trousers up so they could easily move about.
A man in the background said that they had called the Fire Service, but they had yet to arrive, and it is not readily known what started the fire.
