God bless you for logging on to Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC) - Covenant Temple's official website. May the God of all grace grant you the spirit of knowledge and understanding which is your key to unlocking the unsearchable truths which have been hidden for ages!

Pentecost International Worship Centre (P.I.W.C) - Tarkwa is a ministry of the Church of Pentecost. We provide a well organized, cross-cultural church, primarily for people of non-Ghanaian cultural background, who want a place to worship God. Some of our Ghanaian brothers and sisters who prefer to worship in English language or in a multi-cultural environment were considered in the P.I.W.C formation concept.

May the grace of God that brings salvation to the whole world be made meaningful unto you so that the unsearchable riches of God which was revealed to Paul will no longer be a thing under cover; but rather you will live in an atmosphere which is a fulfillment of the scripture which says

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual" (1 Cor 2:12-13).

The Church of Pentecost, like most great institutions, started in a small way. The Church’s beginnings are linked to the ministry of Pastor James McKeown (1900-1989), an Irish missionary sent by the Apostolic Church, Bradford, UK to the then Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1937 to help a group of believers of the Apostolic Faith led by one Peter Newman Anim in a town called Asamankese.

After the inauguration of the English Assembly, now PIWC by Apostle J K Essel in January 1994 the desire to put up a church building was overwhelming because of the rather unsuitable nature of the place of worship, namely the St Paul's Nursery School at Tarkwa-na-Aboso.
