The Ashaiman Area Head and immediate past General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Alexander Nana Yaw Kumi-Larbi, has underscored the critical role of mentorship and active participation in revitalising local church worship and fellowship.
He urged church leaders to be intentional in mentoring and raising leaders at the local level, stating that such efforts are essential for building God’s Kingdom on earth.
Speaking on the topic, ‘Revitalising Worship and Fellowship in the Local Assembly’ during the Greater Accra Regional Ministers and Wives’ Conference 2025, held at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa-Fetteh, he stated, ‘Every church, regardless of its current state, needs revitalisation to maintain its health and missional energy.’
Apostle Kumi-Larbi pointed out that the local church should serve as an equipping centre, preparing members to impact others. He explained that worship should not be confined to a physical temple but should occur wherever believers gather, stating that ‘worship, as a lifestyle of daily service to God, should not be confined to a physical temple but should occur wherever believers gather.’
He also underscored the importance of fellowship in building friendships and unity, contributing to God’s Kingdom on earth.
To achieve revitalisation, he advocated for mentoring and raising leaders at the local level, ensuring that church leaders are intentional and strategic in their approach.
The Executive Council Member stressed that ‘regular church attendance and active participation in outreach events are vital, as they help members become more invested in the church’s health and future.’
He further highlighted the value of small groups in fostering deeper fellowship and generosity among church members. By embracing change, rediscovering the church’s mission, and remaining patient throughout the journey, he believes churches can experience transformative renewal.
‘The local church is where the real action is,’ emphasising its role as the strength of the Church and the place where practical ministry and congregational life occur.
