The Jospong Group of Companies has built and dedicated an ultra-modern church building to honour God.
Christened Pentecost International Worship Centre - Trassacco (PIWC-Trassacco), the 2,500-seater auditorium will serve both the PIWC and E-Church congregations.
The dedication service also included the handing over of a fully furnished mission house for the resident minister.
The Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, an Elder of the Pentecost Church, together with his wife, Adelaide Siaw Agyepong, deemed it a privilege and honour to contribute significantly to the work of the Lord.
Testament to faith, facilities
The new church stands as the culmination of the Jospong Group’s deep-rooted “culture of gratitude to God.”
What began as a small daily devotion in 1995, over decades, has evolved into a major spiritual tradition now supported by an architectural landmark.
The immediate past Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, acknowledged the unique corporate faith by appointing the church’s “first-ever corporate chaplain to the Group.”
The chaplaincy laid the groundwork for the project, which was overseen during the tenure of Chaplain Pastor Daniel Danso from 2018 to 2025.
Sanctuary for 2 congregations
The facility was built to reflect excellence, reverence and functionality.
It is equipped for contemporary ministry, featuring a 2,500-seater auditorium, a children’s auditorium, a digital library, an in-church studio and full administrative suites.
It also has two elevators, a 1,000 kVA transformer, backup generators, central air-conditioning and advanced fire safety and CCTV systems.
Shepherd’s home provided
In a parallel philanthropic gesture, the Agyepongs also provided a fully furnished four-bedroom mission house near the Jospong Group premises for the resident minister.
The gesture was driven by Elder Dr Agyepong’s conviction that “a shepherd is most effective when settled in a peaceful environment conducive to prayer and ministry.
The accommodation, identified in 2024, exemplifies the Jospong culture of honour, affirming that ministry flourishes when spiritual leaders are respected and well supported.
Sermon of thanks, truth
The Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, delivered a powerful sermon, expressing on behalf of the church profound thanks to Elder Dr Agyepong, his wife, and the Jospong Group for their generosity and inspiring gift.
He stressed that the true measure of the church would not be its structure but the manifest presence of God.
Humility, grace
Following the sermon, Dr Siaw Agyepong struck a tone of profound humility in his thanksgiving address.
“This is not a speech of achievement; it is a testimony of grace,” he said.
He credited divine guidance for his journey, stating, “When I could not see my future, God saw it. When I did not know the way, God became the way.”
Dr Siaw Agyepong expressed special gratitude to his wife, Adelaide, recalling their modest beginnings.
“When it was time for my customary marriage rites and I could afford only two cloths out of the six required, she provided the rest herself. That is grace,” he recalled.
The entire cost of the church and mission house was borne by the Agyepong family and the Jospong Group of Companies, cementing their legacy of faith-based philanthropy.
Present at the dedication ceremony was the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor, members of parliament (MPs), business moguls, traditional authorities, staff and management of the Jospong Group.
