Abuakwa- Asenemaso Circuit, before the year 2002, was part of the Asuoyeboa Section of Kwadaso Circuit.
Asuoyeboa Section became a Circuit in the year 2002 with Very Rev. Emmanuel Ansah as its Superintenedent Minister under Rt. Rev. Nuh Ben Abubakr, the then Bishop of Kumasi Diocese. The Societies under the new Asuoyeboa Circuit were: Asuoyeboa, Tanoso, Nyankyerenease, Abuakwa, Bonkankye, Takyiman, Manhyia, Koforidua, Akropong, Esaase, Mfensi, Dabaa, Amadum- Adankwame, Maakro, Akwaboa, Agogo, Apatrapa and Ntenere.
The Asuoyeboa Circuit embarked on evangelism and church planting exercise for expansion and planted new churches at Asuoyeboa North or New site, Formulation, Pokukrom, D.KC, Canaan, Tebere, Koforidua New Site, Kokoben, Ahodwo, Hwediem, Topre amd Mim. Asakraka and Nkotomire joined the Circuit from mpasatia Circuit.
The Asuoyeboah Circuit thus became a Circuit with about twenty-eight societies.
As the Circuit larger, and with it's expansion being in the Abuakwa area, the Circuit under the Very Rev. Kyei Baffour therefore deemed it fit to create the Abuakwa Section of the Methodist Church Ghana. Societies that formed the the Abuakwa section were Abuakwa- Asenemaso, Koforidua, Manhyia, Esaase, Akropong, Agogo, Maakro, Mfensi, Formulation, Dabaa, Taabere, Ntensere, Canaan, Asakraka, Koforidua Newsite, Amadum- Adankwame, D.K.C, Ahodwo, Kokoben, Nkontomire and Akwaboa.
In the year 2013, when Rt. Rev. J.B Impraim was the Superintendent minister of the Circuit with Rt. Rev. Prof. Osei Safo- Kantanka as the Diocesan Bishop, the Abuakwa Section was agreed by the August Conference of the Methodist Church Ghana was made a Circuit. The Circuit was inaugurated by Rt. Rev. Prof. Osei Safo- Kantanka on 23rd March, 2014 with Very Rev. Kwaku Adusei Acheampong as its first Superintendent minister.
In the year 2015, five more Societies were created, namely: Abakomadi, Nakisa, Huriye, Nsonyameye and Mmetiam. In the year 2016, Sawua Society under the second Superintendent Minister of the Circuit the Very Rev. Samuel Adjei Boafo was added to the Circuit.
With the collective efforts of the Societies in the Circuit, plots of land were acquired for the newly established Societies who were worshiping on the premises of some homes within the communities where they were sighted. Among them were Abakomadi, Huriye, Mmetiam and Nsonyameye. The 2016 Methodist Conference at Tarkwa agreed the re-naming of Agogo Society as Edward Amankwatia Methodist Church.
The first circuit steward of Abuakwa- Asenemaso is Bro. John Amofa and Bro. Edward Agyei-Twum also serving as the first Circuit Lay Chairman.
There are six ministerial stations within the Circuit. These are Abuakwa- Asenemaso, Koforidua, Manhyia, Esaase, Akropong and Maakro.
