Accra, March12, GNA - The Korle-Bu Community Chapel (KBCC), a member of the Ghana Evangelical Convention (GEC), at the weekend celebrated its 50 years anniversary on the theme:” Ebenezer, Celebrating 50 years of God’s Goodness.”
Speaking at the event in Accra, Dr Steve Ayisi-Addo, the President of the Church reaffirmed the GEC’s commitment to providing spiritual nurture member churches to fully evangelise souls for Christ as a vision.
He said the GEC, which started as the Accra Chapel Trust began planting churches in the country in 1967 and now had a convention of six chapels located at Korle-Bu, Ashiyie, Ejura, Techiman and Jamestown.
Dr Ayisi-Addo said though the path had been quite tough, the progress was worth celebrating.
He explained that the 50 years’ journey of the church provided a portal for the members to chart a new path for years ahead.
He called on members to work towards achieving the image of Christ while pulling their weight behind the leaders of the church to assume the full status of Convention.
This will help break the bondage of what he described as “small fellowship mentality”.
Reverend Emmanuel Osae-Addo, the Head Pastor of the KBCC implored Christians to pay attention to their spiritual needs rather than amassing wealth and material things.
He cautioned Christians to desist from patronising false gospel, asking them to seek the Kingdom of God and its righteousness as all good things including wealth came from God.
“Some people are using Jesus Christ as a utility for money and this is very sad. Salvation is what matters.”
Pastor Osae-Addo said the KBCC focus was to evangelise more souls for Christ, which he explained was being pursued every day.
“We would use this event to tell the whole world that God’s love still endures.
“Our vision is to ensure that all people in the world know Christ even as sin is on the increase,” he said.
The KBCC‘s Pastor advised Christians to grow their faith as he said faith was key for transformation, which in tend led to salvation.
The Golden Jubilee celebration, which commenced last week Monday, had many activities including home-coming service, prayer service, a reproductive health talk, music show, floats, and a talk on the history of the church all of which were climaxed by a thanksgiving service.
According to Pastor Osae-Addo, the KBCC had no specific number for its population as he explained some of the members often leave the church once they vacate the community.
“We get people from the health and medical schools…in this community. Mostly, when they complete their courses they leave the community,” he observed.
