Calvary Charismatic Centre (CCC) has moved to clarify its position after comments by Nhyiaeso MP Dr. Stephen Amoah sparked public debate, firmly distancing the church from remarks linking it to political and religious voting preferences.
Dr. Amoah, a senior member of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team and popularly known as “Sticka,” made the comments during a campaign event in the Ashanti Region. He suggested that many Christians had resolved not to support a non-Christian presidential candidate and claimed that members of Calvary Charismatic Centre shared the same view.
The church’s leadership, however, said the statements were wrongly attributed to CCC and did not represent its beliefs or instructions. In a statement, the church stressed that Dr. Amoah was speaking in his personal capacity and that his views should not be interpreted as the position of the church.
According to the leadership, Calvary Charismatic Centre has never directed its members on how to vote nor endorsed any political figure, including Kennedy Agyapong. CCC reaffirmed that it remains a non-partisan religious institution with no affiliation to any political party or campaign.
The church described itself as a Bible-believing and inclusive ministry that welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of religion or political affiliation. Its focus, the statement said, remains on preaching the Gospel, building lives, and praying for peace and national cohesion.
CCC also called on the media and the general public to exercise caution in reporting and sharing information that could misrepresent the church’s values. It urged Ghanaians to promote tolerance and unity, particularly during the current political season.
The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of the church’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and national harmony, encouraging citizens to work together in the interest of Ghana’s development.
