OUR HISTORY

It all began in the 20’s…….

In 1927, the search of knowing God led a young man in the person of Pa Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi to the Church Missionary Society where he was baptised and developed a prompting for the ministry of God. His hunger for knowing God led him to another church but he later started a house fellowship in Lagos, Nigeria which became a hob for spiritual conversations and remarkable miracles causing the group membership to grow rapidly. Reverend Akindayomi who didn’t have a formal education, couldn’t read or write received a vision in which the words “Redeemed Christian Church of God” were written, being the name of the church that the lord would establish through him.
In the 70’s….. He received a message from the lord about a young educated man who at the time was not a member of the Church. Hence, when Dr Enoch Adejare Adeboye, a young university lecturer in Mathematics became a member of the Church in 1973, Pa Akindayomi knew that this was the person the Lord had spoken to him about. Dr Adeboye began to serve as an interpreter for Reverend Akindayomi translating his live sermons from Yoruba to English. The young man was ordained in the Church n 1975.

In the 80’s…….

Today…….
