The <a href="/wiki/Ga_language" title="Ga language">Ga</a> and <a href="/wiki/Akan_language" title="Akan language">Twi</a> languages were added as part of the doctrinal text used in the training of the seminarians. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Presbyterian church had its missions concentrated in the southeastern parts of the Gold Coast and the peri-urban Akan hinterland. By the mid-20th century, the church had expanded and founded churches among the <a href="/wiki/Ashanti_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Ashanti people">Asante</a> people who lived in the middle belt of Ghana as well as the northern territories by the 1940s. The Basel missionaries left the Gold Coast during the First World War in 1917. The work of the Presbyterian church was continued by missionaries from the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Scotland" title="Church of Scotland">Church of Scotland</a>, the mother church of the worldwide orthodox or mainline (oldline) Presbyterian denomination.
