The Church of Pentecost, Dome-Asamang District, under the Dunkwa Area, celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of spiritual growth, church expansion, and significant contributions to community development on Sunday, October, 18.
The anniversary celebration, held under the theme “The Faithfulness of God,” was anchored in the biblical message of Psalm 117:1–2, reflecting on God’s faithfulness throughout the District’s ten-year journey.
The celebration featured a series of activities, including floats, musical concerts, and other programmes to commemorate the milestone and acknowledge God’s guidance and blessings upon the District since its establishment.
The Dome-Asamang District was inaugurated on August 24, 2016, with an initial membership of approximately 812. Over the past decade, membership has grown significantly to more than 2,650, alongside a net increase in tithes of over 200%.
Beyond its spiritual mandate, the District has made notable contributions to the development of Dome-Asamang and surrounding communities, particularly in healthcare, education, sanitation, communal services and other social interventions aimed at improving the living conditions of residents.
Speaking at the climax of the anniversary celebration, Nana Gyedom Kwaku Brekorang I, Chief of Denkyira Mpeasem, expressed appreciation to The Church of Pentecost for its continued commitment to community development.
He noted that since the District’s inauguration, the Church had supported the community in various ways, contributing to local development and improving the welfare of residents.
The first District Pastor, Pastor Mark Owusu Ansah, together with his wife, Mrs. Eva Owusu Ansah, also reflected on the early challenges the District faced.
According to them, the journey was not easy at the initial stages, as some people doubted whether the District could survive and grow into a thriving congregation. They, however, described its current progress as evidence of God’s faithfulness and sustaining power.
Some elders who served the District from its formative years also encouraged members to remain steadfast, committed and dedicated to the work of the Church. They noted that the growth recorded over the years demonstrated the benefits of collective sacrifice and commitment to the Church’s mission.
The current District Pastor, Pastor Mathew Mpaba, and his wife, Mrs. Lilly Mpaba, reaffirmed the Church’s commitment to transforming lives and contributing to community development through Christian values and practical interventions.
They explained that one of the Church’s key priorities was to positively impact the communities in which it operated, adding that the District remained committed to advancing this objective.
Among the interventions undertaken by the District are the construction of a baby-weighing centre at the Dome-Asamang and Denkyira Aburi Health Centre, donations of medical equipment and cash support to Agroyesum Government Hospital, the provision of bus stops, communal labour initiatives and sanitation exercises.
These initiatives, they said, form part of the Church’s broader commitment to demonstrating Christian love through practical service and supporting the social and developmental needs of the people.
The couple further indicated that the District had more development plans, assuring residents of its continued support for initiatives that would promote community welfare and sustainable development.
As the Dome-Asamang District celebrates a decade of growth and service, its leadership has reaffirmed its determination to deepen its spiritual mission while strengthening its contribution to the development of Dome-Asamang and surrounding communities.
