In June this year, the Church of Pentecost (CoP) is poised to launch an e-church, expanding its presence into the virtual space.

This initiative aims to bring the church experience to a wider audience through online platforms, fostering a digital community for worship, fellowship, and engagement.

The Chairman of the church, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, revealed this initiative as part of Vision 2028 during the 2024 Global Ministers and Wives Conference at the Pentecost Convention Centre in Gomoa Fetteh, Central Region.

This visionary move is intended to establish a pastor-led, gadget-equipped space for ministering to people in the virtual space.

The ongoing five-day conference, themed “A people of God unleashed to transform their world with the values and principles of the Kingdom of God,” is being attended by over 5,000 ministers and their wives both locally and virtually from more than 150 countries via zoom.

Apostle Nyamekye emphasized that the Vision 2028 initiative is a continuation of the Vision 2023 agenda, extending from 2018 to 2023.

The concept of “unleashing” involves moving members beyond the confines of the church into their spheres of influence for transformation. This transformation includes the conversion of souls and society through the gospel.

The Vision 2028 agenda aligns with the Possessing the Nations mission statement of the Church of Pentecost, focusing on establishing responsible and self-sustaining churches filled with committed, Spirit-filled Christians impacting their communities.

The Chairman explained that each of the 31 thematic areas designated for Vision 2028 has specific strategic objectives.

While the global nature of the church operates in 150 nations as of December 2022, there is recognition that interventions may vary based on contextual relevance. External branches are encouraged to align interventions with the spirit of the vision within their specific contexts.

Vision 2028 seeks to achieve the overall goal of the Possessing the Nations agenda—creating a church where members actively transform worldviews, thoughts, and behaviors with the values and principles of the Kingdom of God.

Unlike Vision 2023, which focused on equipping the church, Vision 2028 emphasizes unleashing the church into society, encouraging every member to have a ministry outside the church, becoming channels of God’s grace to the outside world.
