A Body United: A Glimpse Of Heaven At The All Ministers’ Conference

The third edition of the All Ministers’ Conference (AMC) has begun at the Pentecost Convention Centre (PCC), Gomoa Fetteh, and the early signs are nothing short of remarkable. From the arrival to the opening session, it has become clear that this gathering of over 448 denominations is more than just another programme—it is a living testimony that the Church in Ghana can truly stand as a body united.

Already, the atmosphere is different. Doctrinal walls have given way to fellowship, denominational labels have faded into the background, and the love of Christ has taken centre stage.

Ministers from diverse traditions have blended seamlessly, painting a picture of heaven—where no denomination exists, only the redeemed, united in worship of the Lamb.

And indeed, this is what strikes the heart most deeply: it feels like heaven. For once, it does not matter who came from where or which church they represent. In heaven, there will be no Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Charismatic, or Catholic. There will only be the blood-washed, gathered before the throne, lifting one voice in adoration to Christ. The All Ministers’ Conference is giving us a foretaste of that reality.

It has been striking to observe: no one cares about seating arrangements, liturgical styles, or who emphasises offerings and who does not. Instead, there is a shared commitment to the One who unites us all—Jesus Christ.

The queues at the dining halls capture this perfectly: men and women from various churches eating the same food, drinking the same water, and sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with no distinctions. Truly, what unites us is far greater than what divides us.

These early moments offer a profound lesson. Like the people at Babel, whose unity made them unstoppable, the Church—once united—cannot fail. And with the conference theme, “Building the Church for Impact” (Matthew 16:16-18), already resonating strongly, there is no doubt that the coming days will deepen this sense of oneness and set the stage for a more impactful Church in Ghana and beyond.

What we have seen so far is only the beginning. If these first steps are anything to go by, then the future promises a Church knit together in love, walking in power, and poised to make an indelible mark on the world.

The event is being organised by The Church of Pentecost in collaboration with the Lausanne Movement, Ghana.
