The Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost has etched its name in the history books after recording an outstanding performance at the 2025 National Bible Quiz Grand Finale of the Children’s Ministry, held on October 11 at the Kaneshie PIWC and Police Headquarters Assembly in Accra.
The Area made history as the only Area with contestants in both the Junior and Senior categories — a rare feat that showcased its depth of talent and commitment to biblical scholarship.
In the Junior category, Takoradi Area emerged First Runner-Up, while in the Senior category, it secured the Second Runner-Up position — marking the first time in the competition’s history that one Area placed in both divisions.
The Junior team comprised Perry Joe Danquah, Eunice Efiba Aggrey, and Stephanie Ewurama Kumi, while the Senior team featured Kezia Apiah Kubi, Desmond Apiah, and Nhyiraba Paa Kojo.
The contestants competed fiercely against Areas such as Agona Swedru, Techiman, Tamale, and Kete-Krachi in the junior category and Assin Fosu, Atonsu, Bolga, and Ho in the Senior category. Despite the tough challenge, Takoradi’s representatives stood out for their composure, teamwork, and extensive knowledge of the Scriptures.
The historic win, according to organizers, is a result of months of rigorous preparation and mentorship by a dedicated coaching team, including Elder Kyie, Elder Edward Danquah, Deaconess Selina Adjei, Teacher Baffour Nimako, and Teacher Estherlyn Bruwah Quainoo.
Area leaders commended the contestants and their coaches for bringing pride to the Takoradi Area and upholding the values of diligence, faith, and excellence promoted by the Children’s Ministry.
The achievement, they said, not only reflects Takoradi’s growing prominence in national competitions but also demonstrates the Church’s commitment to nurturing young people in faith and biblical knowledge.
