The Jospong Group of Companies, led by its Executive Chairman, Elder Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, and his wife, Dr Mrs Adelaide Siaw Agyepong, has constructed and dedicated a contemporary, state-of-the-art church in honour of God.

The newly inaugurated Pentecost International Worship Centre–Trassacco (PIWC–Trassacco), which features a 2,500-seat auditorium, will serve both the PIWC and E-Church congregations.

The dedication ceremony also included the handover of a fully furnished mission house for the Resident Minister.

The new church represents the culmination of the Jospong Group’s deep-rooted “culture of gratitude to God.” What began as a small daily devotion in 1995 has, over the decades, evolved into a significant spiritual tradition and now stands as an architectural landmark.

Apostle Professor Opoku Onyinah, the immediate past Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, acknowledged this unique expression of corporate faith by appointing the church’s “first-ever corporate chaplain to the Group.”

Designed to reflect excellence, reverence, and functionality, the state-of-the-art facility is fully equipped for modern ministry. It includes a 2,500-seat main auditorium, a children’s auditorium, a digital library, an in-house studio, and extensive administrative offices.

The complex is further fitted with two elevators, a 1,000 kVA transformer, backup generators, central air-conditioning systems, as well as advanced fire safety and CCTV installations.

A Shepherd’s Residence Provided

In a parallel act of philanthropy, the Agyepongs also provided a fully furnished four-bedroom mission house near the Jospong Group premises for the resident minister.

This initiative was inspired by Elder Dr Agyepong’s conviction that “a shepherd is most effective when settled in a peaceful environment conducive to prayer and ministry.”

The residence exemplifies the Jospong culture of honour, affirming that spiritual leadership flourishes when leaders are respected and well supported.

A Sermon of Gratitude and Truth

The Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr Eric Nyamekye, delivered a compelling sermon.

On behalf of the Church, he expressed profound gratitude to Elder Dr Agyepong, his wife, and the Jospong Group for their generous and inspiring contribution.

He then offered a spiritual charge, emphasising that, while the magnificent building is dedicated, “the only holy presence in the house of God is the believer.”

He underlined that the true measure of a church lies not in its structure, but in the manifest presence of God. “The real question remains: Is the glory of God present?” he concluded.

A Speech of Humility and Grace

Following the sermon, Dr Siaw Agyepong conveyed a message of profound humility in his thanksgiving address. “This is not a speech of achievement; it is a testimony of grace,” he began.

He credited divine guidance for his journey, saying, “When I could not see my future, God saw it. When I did not know the way, God became the way.”

He expressed special gratitude to his wife, Dr Adelaide Siaw Agyepong, 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.”

The entire cost of the church and mission house was borne by the Agyepong family and the Jospong Group of Companies, reinforcing their legacy of faith-driven philanthropy.

Among the dignitaries present at the dedication ceremony were the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, the First Deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor, Members of Parliament, business leaders, traditional authorities, and staff and management of the Jospong Group.

The chaplaincy provided the foundation for the project, which was managed under the leadership of Chaplain Pastor Daniel Danso from 2018 to 2025.
