The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana (PCG), Rt. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, has acknowledged PCG TV for expanding the Church’s evangelistic reach and strengthening its presence in the digital space.
Delivering his opening address at the 22nd National Evangelism and Church Growth Consultation at the Ramseyer Training Centre, Abetifi, he said the Church’s adoption of contemporary communication tools had enhanced its mission of proclaiming the Gospel.
The five-day consultation, under the theme, “Celebrating Our Heritage, building on the Foundation Already Laid, Nurturing Christ-Centred Disciples,” has brought together Presbytery Chairpersons, Presbytery Clerks, Directors of Mission and Evangelism, and representatives of various groups within the Church.
Reflecting on recent evangelistic efforts, the Moderator noted that the Church has deliberately embraced modern strategies while remaining faithful to its core mission.
“In the last few years, we have tried to employ the use of modern tools and strategies in order to grow our Church, because we are still stewards of the mysteries of Christ,” he said. He highlighted PCG TV as one of the Church’s significant achievements in recent years.
“I must say that the introduction of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana TV in the last couple of years has announced our presence in the area of both mass and social media. We can boldly say, therefore, that the Lord has been good to us,” he stated.
The Moderator urged the Church to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world without compromising biblical truth. “Times have changed and it is important for us to change with the times,” he said, adding that the Church must strive to be “a truly contemporary Church; a relevant Church, but also a true Church.”
He expressed optimism that the consultation would generate practical strategies to further strengthen evangelism and church growth.
