Cedar Mountain Chapel International (CMC), East Legon Assemblies of God, has received the “Church of Excellence Award 2022”.

The award was presented to CMC by General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, USA, Doug Clay on Friday, January 7, 2022 during an impartation service at its premises in Accra.

Doug Clay who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the General Council of the Assemblies of God, USA during the presentation of the award admonished the church leadership and members to continue being a vibrant local church with global impact.

Lead Pastor of Cedar Mountain Chapel, Dr. Stephen Yenusom Wengam responding in shock after the presentation, was quick to defer the glory to God as he led his congregants to sing – “we give glory to the Lord, He Reigns”.

He further stated that “This is what God can do, Cedar Mountain Chapel. God has singled us out of the many Assemblies of God churches around the globe with over 65 million population and honoured us, we are grateful to God.”

The Lead Pastor pledged the church's unwavering support to the kingdom growth through effective and innovative soul winning, leadership, and the exhibition of excellence.

The Church of Excellence Award is a global annual award from the office of the Global General Superintendent, Assemblies of God, instituted to give churches a pat on the back for their good works.

The recipient church must be one that reflects the excellence of God in their ministry. This includes using excellent and innovative means to reach the world with the gospel, delivering church service in excellent ways and reaching the unsaved with the true gospel of Christ.
