The Paramount House Chapel International (PHCI) headquartered in Koforidua, has marked its first anniversary with a vibrant thanksgiving service, celebrating a year of spiritual growth, community impact, and visionary leadership.

The service brought together congregants, clergy, dignitaries, and traditional leaders from across Ghana and the diaspora to celebrate faith, unity, and growth.

It was on the theme: “Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us,” echoing the church’s biblical foundation from 1 Samuel 7:12.

The commemorative service was a moment of reflection and gratitude, highlighting the church’s journey from divine inspiration to a thriving ministry with a growing footprint in Ghana and abroad.

In his address, Daasebre Kwaku Boateng III, Paramount Chief of the New Juaben Traditional Area, commended the church’s rapid progress and its role in fostering unity and spiritual renewal.

“Here’s to many more years of walking together in faith, love, and purpose,” he stated.

“Let us stand united and declare our gratitude, praise, and adoration to the King of Kings.”

Daasebre Boateng II noted that the church’s growth was not merely structural but deeply spiritual, reflecting a divine mandate to uplift and transform lives.

“From a humble beginning, this ministry has become a vision of hope. It is a light shining in our community, and we must nurture it for generations to come.”

In his keynote address, Prophet Albert Asihene Arjarquah, Founder and General Overseer of PHCI, recounted the church’s origin and the divine revelation that birthed its name during a revival mission in Toronto, Canada.

“The Lord spoke clearly to me. He said, ‘The name of My Church, the church through which I will win souls, transform lives, and lead My people to Heaven, shall be called The Paramount House Chapel International.”

Prophet Arjarquah described the past year as one of divine acceleration, marked by significant achievements that reflected the church’s commitment to holistic ministry.

Among the milestones celebrated were: The establishment of the Seers Cathedral (Tafo Branch), expanding the church’s reach within the Eastern region.

The acquisition of a one-acre parcel of land for the construction of an ultra-modern sanctuary to serve as a hub for worship, prayer, and community transformation.

Preparations for the Paramount Montessori School, with building materials already secured and construction scheduled to begin in 2026.

The successful launch of Paramount Radio 92.5 FM, a platform for evangelism, Christian education, and community engagement, operating under the slogan “Always in Charge.”

The initiation of farming projects, led by the church’s youth wing, aimed at creating employment and promoting responsible stewardship.

“Our vision is not only spiritual but also social,” Prophet Arjarquah stated.

“We are committed to ensuring that the Gospel impacts both the spiritual and physical well-being of our people,” he added.

The anniversary service was infused with powerful expressions of worship and creativity.

The Paramount Voices led the congregation in soul-stirring praise, while the Paramount Theatre delivered a moving choreography that depicted the church’s journey of faith.

Celebrated gospel musician Empress Gifty Adorye ministered in song, lifting hearts and drawing the congregation into a deeper atmosphere of thanksgiving.

Clergymen from various denominations, including representatives from the Assemblies of God and other Pentecostal and Charismatic churches, joined in intercessory prayers and declarations of blessing over the church’s future.

Looking ahead, PHCI outlined a 12-year strategic plan that included the establishment of the Paramount Bible College of Prophets, the launch of a television station, and the expansion of church branches across Ghana and internationally.

The church also planned to deepen its community development efforts through education, media, agriculture, and social outreach.

“We are building a Christ-centred global church that reflects excellence, discipline, and divine purpose,” Prophet Arjarquah declared.

“This is a house built on Christ, a beacon of light to the nations and a vessel through which God’s glory is revealed.”

The church’s doctrinal foundation, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, continues to guide its mission to win souls and prepare a glorious people for the return of the Lord.

The anniversary service was  graced by Rev. Prof. Paul Frimpong‑Manso, former General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, who delivered the sermon, encouraging members to remain devoted to worship and service.

He commended PHCI’s achievements and urged the church to pursue excellence in ministry and societal impact.

“The church must be a light of transformation and integrity wherever its members serve. The establishment of schools, radio, and future Bible colleges shows that PHCI is aligning with global best practices in ministry,” he said.

The atmosphere was filled with joy, reverence, and a deep sense of purpose as attendees lifted their voices in worship and thanksgiving.

The service ended with the symbolic cutting of the anniversary cake, and special intercessory prayers for the nation.
