The leadership of Calvary Charismatic Centre (CCC) has distanced the church from comments attributed to Dr. Stephen Amoah in a viral video and related media reports suggesting that the church had instructed its members not to vote for a Muslim candidate in Ghana’s elections.
In a statement issued by the church leadership, CCC described the claims as false and clarified that it has never issued any directive to its members regarding voting against candidates based on religious affiliation.
“We wish to state unequivocally that Calvary Charismatic Centre has at no point issued any such directive,” the statement said, adding that the comments made by Dr. Amoah were his personal views and do not reflect the official position, doctrine, or instructions of the church.
The church emphasized that it is a Bible-believing ministry founded on the principles of Christ’s love for all humanity and remains inclusive and welcoming to people from all backgrounds, regardless of religious, political, or social affiliations.
According to the statement, CCC maintains strict political neutrality and does not align itself with any political party or group. The church said its core mission is to build lives through the teaching of the Word of God and to pray for peace and prosperity in Ghana.
The leadership further urged the public and the media to disregard the circulating statements, stressing its respect for Ghana’s diverse religious landscape and its commitment to promoting national unity.
“We encourage all members of the public to continue to live in harmony as we seek the collective good of our dear country,” the statement said.
