Esther Smith is a Ghanaian gospel musician
Acclaimed Ghanaian gospel musician, Esther Smith, has expressed concern over viral social media allegations directed at the leader of Grace Mountain Ministry, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, following the much-talked-about December church event held at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In a statement issued on January 16, 2026, Esther Smith dismissed claims that Pastor Elvis Agyemang demanded money from congregants in exchange for prayers.
According to the renowned musician, the allegations are false, misleading and a distortion of facts, deliberately aimed at tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of the leader of the Alpha Hour team.
‘You will be a pastor someday’ – Esther Smith tells Bigg Paradise
“We have taken note of widely circulated reports and commentaries on social media suggesting that Pastor Elvis Agyemang of Alpha Hour demanded or received money in exchange for prayers. These claims are false, misleading, and a gross distortion of facts.
“We wish to state unequivocally that during our engagement with Pastor Elvis Agyemang and the Alpha Hour team, we were treated with respect, dignity, and genuine pastoral care. At no point was any amount requested, demanded, or charged for prayers,” the statement noted.
Esther Smith further stated that during her interaction, Pastor Elvis Agyemang, leader of the Grace Mountain Ministry, provided her and her team with adequate security.
According to her, the pastor demonstrated consistent character and accountability, adding that Pastor Elvis is a leader who can be trusted.
She therefore described the allegations against him as unfounded and unnecessary.

“On the contrary, adequate security and support were provided, and all interactions were conducted with professionalism and integrity. Pastor Elvis Agyemang has demonstrated consistent character, accountability, and transparency and he remains a leader who can be trusted.
“Any narratives portraying him otherwise are inaccurate and should be disregarded. We therefore call on the general public, the Alpha Hour family, and fans of Esther Smith to disregard all speculation, sensational headlines, and misrepresentations currently circulating on social media,” the statement added.
