Church Service Is Production – Pent Media Sound Engineer Charges Church Media Teams

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Head of Sound and Studio at Pent Media Centre, Mr Daniel Nuamah, has urged church media teams to approach their work with seriousness, excellence, planning, and commitment, stressing that ,”church service is production.”

He made the remarks during a media training programme organised by The Church of Pentecost, Shalom Worship Centre, Abeka, on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The event was held under the leadership of the Resident Minister, Apostle James Orhin Agyin, to equip media personnel with practical skills and knowledge for effective ministry.

The training brought together members of the district media team and other participants interested in media operations. Facilitators included Mr Jeffery Tutuani Sowah, Graphics and Animation Officer at Pent Media Centre, and Mr Kingsford Kyei Mensah, Head of In-Production at Pent Media Centre.

Speaking at the event, Apostle James Orhin Agyin said the initiative forms part of efforts to equip church media personnel with relevant skills to remain effective in an increasingly digital world.

Delivering the keynote presentation, Mr Nuamah recommended a structured media model for local churches. He identified three key units for an effective media ministry: the technical team, producers, and social content creators.

According to him, the technical team should oversee sound, camera operations, livestreaming, and lighting, while producers coordinate service flow, prepare projection materials, and ensure smooth execution. Social content creators, he noted, should focus on script writing, sermon summaries, interviews, and digital engagement.

“If church media teams adopt a structure like this, it will ensure a smooth flow of service and production without surprises,” he stated.

Mr Nuamah also highlighted the importance of rehearsals and preparation, noting that they help teams test equipment and resolve technical challenges before services begin. He encouraged participants to remain innovative and Christ-centred, describing media as a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship.

The programme concluded with specialised sessions in sound engineering, videography, photography, livestreaming, projection, and social media content creation.

Harness Music for Mission and Transformation web.jpg

Harness Music for Mission and Transformation – Apostle Dekpor

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Chairman of the National Music Committee of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Daniel K. Dekpor, has urged church musicians, worship leaders and instrumentalists to intentionally harness music as a powerful tool for mission and transformation.

He made the call during a National Music Seminar organised by the National Music Committee in collaboration with the Axim Area at the Emmanuel Assembly in Esiama on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The event formed part of efforts to equip musicians and music ministry workers for the Church’s Possessing the Nations and Transformation agenda.

Speaking on the theme, “Harnessing Music for Mission: A Theological, Cultural and Practical Framework for Church Transformation,” Apostle Dekpor described music as “theology in melody,” explaining that the depth of a church’s theology is often reflected in the songs it sings.

“The theology of every church is largely embedded in its songs. Any church that sings shallow songs will eventually produce shallow believers,” he stated, urging worship leaders to select songs that communicate sound biblical truths and suit the occasion.

He stressed that music is not merely an accompaniment to mission but a vehicle through which the Church advances its mission. According to him, contextualised music strengthens evangelism and discipleship, while music that is not understood weakens the Church’s impact.

Apostle Dekpor also encouraged musicians to deepen their spiritual lives through prayer, fasting and the study of God’s Word. He further reminded participants that musicians and instrumentalists are co-ministers of the gospel and not performers, urging them to remain authentic in their ministry.

Commending the Axim Area for prioritising the training of young musicians, he noted that such efforts align with the Church’s vision of raising the next generation of effective music ministers.

In his remarks, the Axim Area Head, Apostle Daniel Mireku Gyamera, expressed appreciation to the National Music Committee Chairman for the impactful training and assured that the lessons would be replicated across districts in the Area.

The seminar attracted 305 participants, including ministers and their wives, chorus leaders, instrumentalists, sound engineers and other music ministry workers.

A total of 1,728 youth from the Koforidua Area of The Church of Pentecost gathered at the Aburi Botanical Gardens for the second edition of the biennial “Prayer in the Park” programme.

The event, held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, was organised by the Koforidua Area Youth Ministry and themed “The Benediction” (Numbers 6:22–25) in honour of the Area Head, Apostle Mike Etrue, who is expected to retire in August this year after 30 years of active ministry.

The programme was inspired by the biblical tradition where fathers bless their children before departing from active service. The youth gathered with expectant hearts to receive spiritual impartation and blessings from Apostle Etrue, who has served faithfully as a District Pastor, missionary, Area Head, and Executive Council Member.

The event brought together 15 ministers and their spouses, elders, and gospel ministers, including Elder Dr. Emmanuel Kwasi Mireku and Elder Patrick Amoako, whose ministrations created an atmosphere of intense worship and prayer.

Speaking on the theme for the gathering, Apostle Mike Etrue reminded the youth that God gave Israel a blessing as their covering, assuring them of divine favour, protection, and provision through the Holy Spirit. He encouraged them to embrace their identity as carriers of God’s name and to see themselves as chosen vessels capable of overcoming life’s challenges.

He also shared his personal life journey, recounting his humble beginnings, challenges, and testimonies of God’s faithfulness throughout his ministry. According to him, total dependence on God remains key to enjoying divine guidance and protection.

Apostle Etrue further revealed how the Holy Spirit guided him in choosing his wife, describing the decision as one of the greatest blessings to his life and ministry.

The gathering ended with many participants expressing gratitude for what they described as a life-transforming encounter marked by prayer, worship, and spiritual empowerment.

Relating his message to the Church’s “Possessing the Nations” agenda, he urged the men to embrace their God-given responsibility of impacting their homes, workplaces, churches, and communities with godly values.

Apostle Denteh further highlighted the importance of strengthening every ministry within the church, noting that the effectiveness of the church depends on the vitality and balance of its ministries.

The Men’s Ministry Director also reiterated the four thematic areas of the ministry’s strategic plan introduced in 2020 — spiritual, physical, psychological, and social development.

He encouraged men to deepen their relationship with God through prayer and evangelism while also paying attention to their physical wellbeing, mental growth, and social responsibilities.

The conference concluded with a strong call for holistic development among Christian men. Participants were reminded that men who desire to transform society must first become spiritually grounded, emotionally stable, physically disciplined, and socially responsible.

The gathering served as a renewed call for men in the Kete Krachi Area to rise and fulfil their God-ordained mandate as transformational leaders.

Greater Accra HUM Sectors Organise Home Missions Conference

by with No Comment Church NewsHUMTop Stories

The Home and Urban Missions (HUM) of the Greater Accra Region on Saturday, May 16, 2026, organised a Home Missions Conference at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Tesano, aimed at empowering all PIWCs in the region to pursue missions among expatriates living in Ghana.

The conference brought together church leaders, ministers, and members to discuss practical strategies for reaching expatriate communities as part of fulfilling the Great Commission.

Delivering the first presentation, Apostle Benjamin Ofei-Badu, National Coordinator for Home and Urban Missions, spoke on the need for the church to embark on Home Missions. Referencing scriptures including Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 3:10, and 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, he explained that while missionary agencies and churches traditionally moved from their home nations to foreign lands to spread the Gospel, many nations have now come into other nations through migration.

According to him, this changing trend calls for churches and mission agencies to strategically position themselves to reach expatriates within their host nations.

Apostle Ofei-Badu cited biblical examples of Jesus ministering across cultural boundaries, including His encounter with the centurion and the Samaritan woman, as well as Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. He also referenced a contemporary example involving former Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, who shared the Gospel with James Raj.

Pastor Solomon Anderson, Ashaiman Sector HUM Coordinator, in his presentation on “Understanding Home Missions,” explained the concept of expatriates and shared data on the number of expatriates living in Ghana. He outlined practical approaches to reaching them, including contextual missions, language studies, and intentional engagement strategies.

Speaking on the topic “Winning the Expatriates,” Apostle Kingsley Addai, Resident Minister for PIWC-Accra, used the Chinese community as a case study to illustrate practical evangelism approaches. He highlighted relationship-building, need-based support, hospitality, and language learning as effective tools for ministering to expatriates.

The conference also featured group discussions, allowing participants to deliberate on the various topics presented. An open forum session was later held to provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification on issues relating to home missions and expatriate outreach.

The event ended successfully with participants expressing appreciation for the insights shared and the renewed focus on missions among expatriate communities.

Men Require Intentional Support – PEMEM Director

by with No Comment Church NewsPEMEMTop Stories

The Director of the Pentecost Men’s Ministry (PEMEM), Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh, has stressed the need to give special attention to men in society and the family system.

According to him, much attention is often given to raising children and the youth to become responsible adults in the future, while little attention is paid to men, who serve as the head of the family.

He further stressed that men require intentional support and development to become emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually sound and stable, enabling them to make wise decisions that positively impact their families and society.

Apostle Anane Denteh said this during a seminar organised by the Men’s Ministry of Mampong Area at the Tunsuom Central Auditorium, Ashanti Mampong, on Thursday, May 21, 2026. The seminar formed part of the ministry’s efforts to strengthen and equip men to effectively play their God given roles in the family, church, and society.

The seminar was well attended by all pastors and their wives, PEMEM Executive Committee members at every level, all Faithful Giants Executive Committee members at all levels, all Presiding Elders, as well as men and women from across the Area.

Also present were Pastor Philip Ackumey (NEC member– PEMEM), and Mampong Area Head, Pastor Kojo Anomah, and his wife.

COP Launches Nationwide Digital Systems Training For Ministers, Staff web.jpg

COP Launches Nationwide Digital Systems Training For Ministers, Staff

by with No Comment Church NewsTop Stories

The Church of Pentecost has begun a nationwide training programme aimed at equipping ministers and administrative staff with the skills needed to effectively operate the church’s key digital platforms.

The initiative focuses on three major systems: PentERP, the church’s accounting and financial management platform; PentChMS, the Church Management System used for reporting and membership data management; and PentHR, the human resource and staff appraisal system. The training forms part of the church’s broader effort to strengthen administrative efficiency, accountability, and data management across all levels of the organisation.

To ensure accessibility and wider participation, the programme is being conducted at Area level, allowing ministers and staff to receive practical instruction within their operational zones instead of travelling to a central location. Each session begins with a special training day for Area Heads at the regional level before extending to District clerks, Area accountants, executive assistants, and other officers responsible for administration and reporting.

Speaking on the importance of the programme, Pastor Paul Odai Laryea, IT Manager at the General Headquarters and coordinator of the initiative, stressed that technology has become essential to effective church administration.

“No organisation, including the church, can afford to ignore the direction technology is moving,” he stated, adding, “These systems exist to reduce the burden of administration, improve accountability, and free ministers to focus on ministry.”

The training has already received positive feedback from participants. Pastor Stephen Agyei of the Kintampo Area shared that financial administration had previously been difficult for him due to his lack of accounting background. However, the introduction of PentERP and the practical training sessions have significantly improved his confidence in handling church finances.

Another minister who attended an earlier session admitted he initially assumed the system would be overly technical but later discovered it was user-friendly and easy to understand because of the practical teaching approach.

The Northern and Brong Ahafo Regions have already completed their training sessions, while Ashanti, Western, Central, Volta, Eastern, and Greater Accra Regions are expected to follow in the coming weeks as the nationwide rollout continues.
