According to the pastor, the auditorium has always been open because people come in to pray at all hours of the day.
He explained that at almost any time, the place is half-full of worshippers seeking comfort, salvation, and direction.
Closing the doors has never been easy because prayer does not follow a timetable.
However, everything changed after the recent incident.
Grace Mountains auditorium closed till further notice
Speaking openly, Pastor Elvis said that from now until further notice, no one will be allowed into the auditorium to pray.
He admitted that the decision was painful but necessary, especially after realising how close the church came to a major disaster.
He questioned the level of hatred involved in the act, wondering how someone could walk into a place of worship, pretend to be praying, and then pour fuel around with the intention of setting it on fire.
According to him, the suspect blended in quietly, making it difficult for anyone to suspect foul play.
Pastor Elvis shared that the situation was only stopped because someone monitoring the CCTV noticed something unusual and quickly alerted the security team.
Their swift response helped contain the fire before it spread further.
Despite the damage caused, the pastor made it clear that the incident would not stop the church’s mission.

He assured members that the auditorium would be fixed and that prayers would continue, even if not in the same physical space for now.
For him, the message is simple. The building can be repaired, but the spirit of prayer will not be broken.
Reactions to Pastor Elvis's remarks post-fire incident
Social media users have since given their opinions after Pastor Elvis reacted to the fire incident.

Check out some comments below:
Madesi commented:
"Why are people like this, honestly? This man minds his business and just preaches and prays. What really is the hate about?"
Mr Mills7 commented:
"The Chinese are assembling cars, phones, computers, and things beyond human imagination. We, on the other hand, are praying on a Monday, all in the name of revival. Yet we still give the little we have as offerings and go home hungry. With the hope that God will provide. THIS IS MADNESS."
Akwasi Opoku Gyimah commented:
"People ignorantly claim that Antoa is not powerful because someone stole something from them… bla bla…..if the god they are serving has any power, how can someone burn his altar. I know this won’t sound sweet to them, but it is the reality."
ekow_hammond3 commented:
"The heart of man is desperately wicked."
Mr AHENKORAH commented:
"This is a sign that the world is full of hate, don’t joke with your prayer life, brethren."
