The Achimota Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Joseph Kwame Assabil, has dedicated four newly-constructed church buildings in the Kotoku District of the Achimota Area on Sunday December 17, 2017 at a colourful ceremony.
Apostle Assabil was ably assisted by Apostle Christian Tsekpoe, a lecturer at Pentecost University College, his wife, Mrs. Rebecca Assabil, as well as the pastorate and their wives in the Achimota Area.
The ultra-modern buildings, which were largely funded through grants received from the COP Headquarters and the Achimota Area include Papase Assembly, Mt Zion Assembly, Akotoshie No.1 Assembly and Akotoshie No. 2 Assembly. In all, a total amount of GHC275, 423.28 was spent to complete all the four chapel buildings.
Papase Assembly, which costs GHC 90,250 was opened in 2003 with ten members by Nsawam District through a rally. However, the church building project started in 2015 by the then District Minister, Pastor Michael Ofori-Adjei.
The current membership of the assembly stands at 208 out of which 143 are adults and the remaining 65 are children.
Mt. Zion Assembly, on the other hand started in 2006 with 15 members under the administration of Ps. Charles Incoom (the then Medie District Pastor). The chapel building project, which costs GHC 48,577.70, started in 2014 and now has 74 members, comprising of 34 children and 40 adults.
Akotoshie No.1 Assembly started under a tree with eight members in 2005 under the leadership of Pastor Owusu Boreh (the then Nsawam District Pastor). The building project however, started in 2015 and was completed with an estimated cost of GHC 67,785.58. The current membership stands at 111. This is made up of 31 children and 80 adults.
The newly constructed Akotoshie No.2 Assembly, which costs GHC 68, 810, was planted in 2005 also under the leadership of Pastor Owusu Boreh (the then Nsawam District Pastor) after a rally with 12 members.
