The Church of Pentecost has ended a nationwide training programme for pastors and district clerks on the use of its accounting software, PentERP.
The training began in the Greater Accra Region at seven centres, marking a significant step in the church’s digital transformation agenda.
Elder Emmanuel Anane Boate, Chairman of the PentERP Implementation Committee, officially opened the training, emphasising the importance of the system and encouraging participants to engage with a spirit of collaboration. He clarified that this initiative is not merely an IT project, but a church-wide effort that requires collective commitment.
Elder Boate stressed that no Area programmes should disrupt the training, which has been approved by the Executive Council.
He also praised the church’s IT Manager, Pastor Paul Odai Laryea, and his team for their exceptional work in bringing this project to fruition.
The first day of training focused on the tithes module, equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to manage financial records efficiently. By the end of the month, all districts in the Greater Accra Region are expected to be operational with the system.
The training will expand to other regions in the coming months, with the nationwide implementation set for completion by April 2025. Once fully implemented, PentERP will streamline the church’s financial processes and enhance accountability across all Areas in Ghana.
Participants expressed appreciation for the training and the usefulness of the system to their work. In attendance was over 300 ministers and their clerks.
