The General Secretary of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Samuel Gyau Obuobi, has dedicated the newly constructed Salem Assembly church building in the Suhum New Town District of the Suhum Area.
The dedication ceremony which was held on Friday, May 22, 2026, marked a significant milestone for the assembly, bringing together ministers, church leaders, members, and invited guests to celebrate the completion of the modern worship facility.
Constructed at an estimated cost of GH¢1.64 million, the church building was completed through the collective sacrifices and contributions of members, support from the district and area leadership, as well as grants from the Headquarters of The Church of Pentecost.
The Salem Assembly traces its roots to the early 1990s when the fellowship started under modest conditions before eventually securing land for a permanent place of worship. Following the creation of the Suhum New Town District in 2002, efforts were intensified toward constructing a befitting church auditorium for the growing congregation.
Construction of the current edifice officially commenced after the foundation stone was laid on August 5, 2011. Over the years, successive pastors, presiding elders, and members played vital roles in ensuring the successful completion of the project.
The dedication service featured prayers, thanksgiving, scripture readings, and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque by the wife of the General Secretary, Mrs Juliana Korkor Obuobi, and the wife of the Suhum Area Head, Mrs Roberta Aseyero, before the official dedication of the building by the General Secretary.
Addressing the congregation, Apostle Obuobi commended the members of the Salem Assembly and the Suhum New Town District for their commitment, sacrifice, and dedication to the work of God. He urged the church to complement the beautiful physical structure with spiritual growth, holiness, and unwavering commitment to the mission of the church.
The Suhum Area Head, Apostle Patrick Aseyero, as well as the Nsawam Area Head, Apostle Francis Yaw Adu, were among the senior ministers who graced the occasion.
The leadership of the assembly also expressed appreciation to the Chairman of the Church, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, the Area leadership, and all individuals who contributed to the successful completion of the project.
The newly dedicated church building is expected to enhance worship activities and support the continuous growth of the church in the area.
