The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, has urged Children’s Ministry workers to develop skill, attitude, and character as the three essential qualities of effective leadership.

Delivering the keynote address at the opening session of the Foundation Builders’ Conference 2026 (FBC’26) at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, on the topic “Three Things That Make One a Leader,” he explained that effective leadership is measured by the positive results it produces.

Drawing lessons from Acts 6, Apostle Dr Nyamekye noted that effective leaders create a positive impact and contribute to growth. He encouraged participants to sharpen their skills through learning and diligence, cultivate positive attitudes through meaningful relationships, and uphold godly character marked by integrity and good conduct.

He disclosed that one of the best ways to teach a child is by example. Character, he said, is who one is when no one is watching, saying, “Children learn more from what you do than what you say.”

He concluded by urging children’s workers to intentionally develop these qualities in order to make a lasting impact on the next generation.

The session set the tone for FBC’26, which is being held under the theme: “The Fully-Equipped Children’s Worker: Reaching Every Child Everywhere Through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit” (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 78:72).

The Head of the Department of Ministerial Formation and Training at Pentecost University, Apostle Professor Christian Tsekpoe, has stressed the urgent need for children’s workers to intentionally lead children to Christ.

He was speaking at this year’s Foundation Builders’ Conference organised by the Children’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa Fetteh, on Thursday, June 4, 2026, on the theme: “Reaching Generation Alpha and Discipling Them Through Effective Intergenerational Service,” based on Jesus’ words in Mark 10:14.

Apostle Prof. Tsekpoe described Generation Alpha (children born between 2013 and 2024) as digital natives, visual learners, and seekers of authenticity. Rather than viewing them as a challenge, he encouraged the Church to embrace them as a gift to the Body of Christ.

He explained that intergenerational service involves all age groups actively participating in the life and mission of the Church.

Key recommendations he gave included organising intergenerational services twice monthly, involving both children and adults in prayers, worship, testimonies, and scripture readings, and encouraging adults to stay informed about emerging trends affecting younger generations.

He concluded with a powerful reminder: “Children and young people are the Church of today, not merely the Church of tomorrow.”

An Executive Council member of The Church of Pentecost and former General Secretary, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, has announced that The Church of Pentecost is transitioning from the pilot phase to full implementation of its integrated church-wide IT system, marking a significant milestone in the Church’s digital transformation agenda.

The announcement was made during the opening session of the National IT Training for ministers and clerks in the Ashaiman Area.

Speaking at the event, Apostle Kumi-Larbi, who also serves as the Ashaiman Area Head and Greater Accra RCC Coordinator, said the digitalisation initiative was conceived years ago as part of the Executive Council’s vision to establish a technology-driven administrative system capable of supporting the Church’s expanding global mission.

According to him, the Church in the United States has already been successfully integrated into the system, while extensive efforts have been undertaken over the past four years to onboard churches across Ghana.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi noted that the project has now reached a critical stage, where the focus is shifting from testing to implementation.

“We are now moving from piloting to full implementation. After today’s training, we are applying it because that is where the Church has decided to move.”

He called on ministers and clerks to embrace the system wholeheartedly and contribute to its successful implementation across all levels of the Church.

Apostle Kumi-Larbi further commended Pastor Paul Odai Laryea and his team for their dedication and technical expertise in steering the project through its pilot stages.

Encouraging participants to remain committed to excellence, Apostle Kumi-Larbi drew lessons from the Book of Proverbs, emphasising the value of diligence in ministry and administration.

“The diligent shall rule, and the diligent person will stand before kings.”

He stressed that commitment, excellence, and consistency would be essential to ensuring the success of the Church’s digital transformation agenda.

The National IT Training forms part of The Church of Pentecost’s broader effort to fully deploy its integrated administrative system by the end of this year.

The initiative is expected to improve administrative efficiency, strengthen data management, and enhance coordination across the Church’s global operations.
