Piesie Esther defends Church of Pentecost rules on courtship, marriage

Gospel musician Piesie Esther has strongly reaffirmed her support for the long-standing doctrines and disciplinary structures of the Church of Pentecost, particularly those governing courtship, marriage and pre-marital conduct.

Speaking in an interview on Angel FM in Kumasi, she stated that she has no desire to question or revise any of the church’s regulations because she believes they are intentionally crafted to guide members into responsible and sustainable Christian marriages.

She stressed that rules some young people consider “strict” are actually protective measures meant to prevent rushed unions and hidden motives. According to her, some individuals enter marriage under pressure or attempt to conceal pregnancies, and the church’s required pre-marital procedures help ensure honesty and discipline.

Piesie Esther also justified the church’s disciplinary actions regarding pregnancy before marriage. She explained that such measures are not intended to disgrace anyone but to discourage immoral behaviour and encourage young women to uphold their values until they are officially married.

She noted that these guidelines have shaped many successful marriages and warned that relaxing them could erode moral standards within the church. For that reason, she believes the Church of Pentecost’s conduct rules and disciplinary systems should be preserved without compromise.

As a committed member of the church, Piesie Esther concluded that she respects its leadership and doctrines and will never support any changes that might undermine the principles that have strengthened the church for generations.
