It comes days after six former pastors of the church now known as United Denominations, originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches, alleged that their SSNIT contributions were not paid during their working years.

Blessed Lillian: "Lighthouse, that church or more like a cult, I am glad I left. Pastors sleeping with girls, married and unmarried yet they'll tell you to stay with their stupid loyalty and disloyalty teaching."

Nana Kwame Djan Katakyie I: "I don't agree that all churches are for money. At least I know about the church of Pentecost. You may have a point if you say our focus is drifting from the salvation messages."

Glory Godsman OK: "I’ll never dispute you on the fact that churches are after your money, but remember money answers all things so without money the church will lack certain answers... selah You can’t also dispute me on this fact that apart from the pastors, there have been persons, families, communities, nations that have benefitted greatly from the church. Don’t only look at one side of the coin to condemn the coin."

Earlier YEN.com.gh reported that Larry Odonkor, Emmanuel Oko Mensah, Edem Kofi Amankwa, Seth Sarpong Duncan, Edward Laryea, and Faith Fiakojo sued the church accusing the leaders of violating their rights.
