The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has added another remarkable feather to his cap after successfully defending his doctoral thesis at the South African Theological Seminary to earn a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Theology.
His thesis was on the topic: “Schisms within The Church of Pentecost: Towards Formulating a Contextualised African Pentecostal Ecclesiology for The Church of Pentecost.”
This rigorous academic work not only addresses pressing theological and ecclesiological concerns within African Pentecostalism but also contributes significantly to global Pentecostal scholarship.
The news of his accomplishment has generated widespread excitement and admiration among members of The Church of Pentecost worldwide, the broader Christian community, and the Ghanaian public.
Many have lauded him for his ability to combine deep spiritual leadership with intellectual rigor, making him a model of excellence both in ministry and academia.
What makes this achievement particularly outstanding is Apostle Nyamekye’s ability to balance his demanding leadership schedules with excellence.
As Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), and Chairman of the Ghana Evangelism Committee, his influence stretches across Ghana, Africa, and the global Christian stage.
Yet, amid these enormous responsibilities, he has demonstrated uncommon focus and discipline in pursuing rigorous academic research.
This achievement comes on the heels of the just-ended All Ministers Conference (AMC) at the Pentecost Convention Centre, which sought to equip and charge participants for greater impact.
Apostle Nyamekye’s new academic laurels further strengthen the Church’s drive to contextualise the gospel message in Africa, build resilient structures for church growth, and engage more meaningfully with national development issues.
Beyond his ecclesiastical duties, Apostle Nyamekye is widely respected for his consistent advocacy on matters of national concern, ranging from moral renewal to civic responsibility.
His new academic credentials add greater impetus to the Church’s efforts in shaping conversations not only within the body of Christ but also in the public square.
