The Youth Ministry Directorate of the Church of Pentecost has issued a statement distancing itself from a member of the Youth who allegedly wore a female outfit as part of the celebrations during their Youth Ministry Week.

The church expressed its disapproval of the "inappropriate use of their paraphernalia" in this specific instance.

The statement, which was issued and signed by Apostle Ebenezer Hagan, said it “unequivocally condemns such use, as it may connote other meanings, whether intended or unintended.”

“While the legitimate members of the one who used it in such an unacceptable way is in question, we in no unreserved terms condemn it,” a portion of the statement read.

Unfortunately, such attire violates this principle and does not reflect the values of the church, the church said.
