The New Tafo Area of The Church of Pentecost, under the headship of Apostle Samuel Antwi, has successfully ended this year’s Lay Leadership Training School at four zonal centres with a call on participants to implement what they learnt in their respective districts and local assemblies to ensure that the church grows exponentially.
The training programme, which involved ministers, their wives and the laity within the Area, took place from August 9 to 13, 2021. It was held in two sessions – Morning and Evening with plenary segment at each session.
Topics treated in this year’s school included: “Introduction To The Home and Urban Missions (HUM),” “The Church of Pentecost Counselling Ministry – COPCOM,” “The Ministry To Persons With Disability (MPWDs)”, “Pentecost Workers’ Guild (PEWG)”, and “Introduction To Chaplaincy Ministry.”
The rest were: “Singlehood and Effective Christian Living In The Church,” “Young Couples Christian Living and Marital Growth,” “Mental Health and Family Life,” “Christian Parenting and Sex Education In A Contemporary World,” and “Cultivating A Reading Habit.”
As part of the event, some officers were ordained to join the workforce of the Church in the Area. Certificates were also presented to some officers who have successfully completed their four-year lay leadership training programme.
The Lay Leadership Training School is an initiative by The Church of Pentecost for a continuous improvement and training of officers in both theological, practical Christian living and Church ethics and practices to enable them to shepherd the flocks that have been entrusted to their care.
