The Church of Pentecost has so far made significant strides in the education sector by establishing 108 educational institutions across Ghana, aimed at providing quality education and equipping the youth with practical skills for national development.
This milestone was announced by the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, during his 2024 State of the Church Address (SOCA), delivered at the opening session of the 47th General Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa-Fetteh.
“At the end of December 2024, the Church had established a total of 108 educational institutions—comprising 104 basic schools, three Senior High Schools, and one vocational training institute—all recognised by the Pentecost Social Services (PENTSOS) Secretariat,” Apostle Nyamekye disclosed.
To promote reading and enhance critical thinking among pupils, he revealed that PENTSOS collaborated with the International Christian Ministry Ghana, a Christian non-governmental organisation, to launch the School Library Improvement Project. As part of this initiative, eighteen schools received new library books during the reporting year.
Apostle Nyamekye also highlighted the Church’s strengthened partnership with the government to facilitate the adoption and upgrading of the Pentecost Vocational Institute, which will soon be renamed Pentecost Senior High Technical School.
“With support from the Ghana Education Service, we have successfully appointed a general manager for the Church’s educational unit. This represents a significant step in the ongoing restructuring of PENTSOS’s educational operations,” he added.
He concluded by reaffirming the Church’s unwavering commitment to educational advancement, the integration of technology, and innovation as tools to shape a better future for Ghana’s youth.
The State of the Church Address (SOCA) is an annual report presented by the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, typically during the opening session of the General Council Meetings—the highest decision-making body of the Church. Modeled in part after the “State of the Nation” format, SOCA provides a comprehensive overview of the Church’s spiritual, administrative, and social interventions for the previous year.
This year’s General Council Meeting, which officially commenced on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, is being held under the theme: “Unleashed to Live a Life Worthy of Your Calling” (Ephesians 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Galatians 1:24).
