The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye has urged church leaders and members not to abandon previous annual themes and thematic topics, stressing that they form a unified pathway towards achieving the objectives of Vision 2028.
Speaking at the Heads’ Meeting at the Pentecost Convention Centre near Gomoa-Fetteh, where he unveiled the church’s 2027 theme, he explained that each yearly theme is intentionally selected to move the church steadily towards its divine mandate.
Apostle Nyamekye decried the tendency to discard previous themes when a new one is introduced. He described the themes as successive steps towards a common goal and encouraged leaders to maintain a balanced emphasis on all thematic teachings to ensure spiritual maturity and the fulfilment of the church’s unleashing agenda.
Referring to the second phase of the Possessing the Nations Agenda, anchored on the theme, ‘Possessing the Nations: Unleashing the Whole Church to Transform Their World with the Values and Principles of the Kingdom of God,’ he said the church’s mandate is a divine call to deploy believers into every sphere of society to advance God’s Kingdom and bring many to Christ.
‘To achieve this monumental task, our progression over the past few years has been deeply intentional, gradually building the capacity, character, and spiritual stamina of the church to face a secularised world’, he explained, adding that the church’s progress has followed a deliberate pattern.
Tracing the journey, he noted that the 2024 theme, ‘A People of God Unleashed to Transform Their World,’ sought to awaken believers to their identity and mission as God’s representatives in society.
‘We drummed home the reality that the church is an endtime militia called out of the world to adore God, and sent back into the world to serve His purpose among the nations’, he stated.
He indicated that the 2025 theme, ‘Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling’, emphasised godly character and credible Christian influence in public life. Building on that foundation, the 2026 theme, ‘The Church Unleashed to Transform Society through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit,’ highlighted the need for supernatural empowerment.
‘Building upon this foundation of living a life worthy of our calling, we understood that the sheer magnitude of the darkness in our world requires more than just good moral values. It demands supernatural intervention,’ he said.
The Chairman of the church mentioned that based on that awareness, the 2026 theme was ‘The Church Unleashed to Transform Society through the Gospel and the Power of the Holy Spirit’. Apostle Nyamekye said that was a reminder that ordinariness cannot change a sin-sick world.
‘We were called to boldly proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to convert cultures, renew mindsets, and confront the desperate onslaught of darkness from ungodly influences. We established that the word of God, backed by the Spirit’s power, is the ultimate key for transforming society— people, cultures and systems’, he reminded the gathering.
Unveiling the 2027 theme, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye prescribed that to advance toward the culmination of Vision 2028, the question as to what will sustain the aggressive march of the church into the world to engage deeply with secular systems, and stay unpolluted by them was vital. He disclosed that the answer lied in a fundamental understanding of true worship.
‘If our impact is to endure, we must recognise that true transformation does not just come from good strategies, human effort, or occasional displays of spiritual power; it flows naturally from a constant, close relationship with God’, he iterated
He therefore announced the 2027 theme: ‘The Church Unleashed to Worship God in Spirit and in Truth – Living to the Glory of God Anytime, Anywhere’ with the scriptural references as John 4:23-24; John 8:29; Colossians 3:16-17; and 1 Corinthians 10:31.
He concluded by urging leaders and members to continue teaching previous themes alongside the new one to fully equip believers for the church’s unleashing agenda.
