The Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost has inaugurated a new Home and Urban Mission (HUM) assembly at the Air Force Worship Centre, making it the second service after the English service.
The inauguration, held on Sunday, January 19, 2025, was overseen by Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo, the HUM National Coordinator. He was supported by Pastor Kwaku Kwantwi Asiedu, the HUM Pastor for Takoradi Sector, and Pastor Captain Eric Antwi, the Resident Minister for the Air Force Worship Centre.
The HUM assembly began its journey in 2023 as a mobile church initiated by the Takoradi Sector in collaboration with the Air Force Worship Centre. Services were initially held under a canopy every Sunday at Kokompe Sawdust Park, Takoradi.
During the rainy season last year, the assembly was relocated to an old ‘chop bar,’ but was later moved when the bar owner decided to revive the business. In November 2024, the HUM service found a new home in the Children’s auditorium of the Air Force Worship Centre, holding fellowship after the Children’s Ministry meetings.
The assembly, which started with seven adults and nine children from Kokompe and three adults and a child from the Accra Station HUM cell, has grown to 79 members, comprising 29 adults and 50 children.
During the inauguration, Apostle Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo urged the new leadership to diligently shepherd the congregation, safeguard church assets, and ensure growth across all sectors in line with the Vision 2028 agenda.
The HUM assembly will now serve as the Akan assembly of the Air Force Worship Centre, holding services after the English service every Sunday.
Pastor Captain Eric Antwi expressed his gratitude to God and all attendees for the successful inauguration. The ceremony was graced by Mrs Agartha Agyei Kwafo, wife of the HUM Coordinator; Mrs Sarah Kwayakie Asiedu, wife of the HUM Pastor; Mrs Lydia Yaa Antwi, wife of the Resident Minister; along with HUM Nation Possessors NEC members, District Executive Committee members, and the Presbytery of the Air Force Worship Centre.
