Our Beliefs & Values
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our Important Values
THE BIBLE
As a church, we believe that the Bible is “God’s Word”. The truths revealed in it did not have their origin with men, but with God. The Holy Spirit inspired the human authors of the Bible. We, therefore, believe that the Bible is without error, completely true, relevant, and an up-to-date book.
THE TRINITY
We also believe in the Divine Trinity. One Triune God exists in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – eternal in being, identical in nature, equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfection.
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He came to the world purposely to save sinners according to the scriptures. He has existed throughout eternity, one of the persons of the Holy Trinity. He is the Son, the only begotten Son of God, and the beloved of God.

November 22, 1980
Pastor E. A. Adeboye becomes the new General Overseer
On this day, Pastor E. A. Adeboye was appointed as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Amidst controversy, Pastor Adeboye’s appointment was formalized by the reading of Pa Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement after his burial.
With the help of God Almighty, under the leadership of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the Church started to experience major growth. As a number of Parishes began to grow in leaps and bounds.
At the last count, there are at least about 4000 parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria. On the International scene, the church is present in other African nations including Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Zambia, Malawi, Zaire, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Gambia, Cameroon, and South Africa. In Europe, the church is fully established in the following countries: the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, France, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
April 4, 1952
RCCG Was Born
By 1952, Pa Akindayomi started a house fellowship called, the Glory of God Fellowship at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Initially, there were nine members but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread.
Pa Akindayomi also had a vision of words that appeared to be written on a blackboard. The words were “The Redeemed Christian Church of God.” Amazingly, Pa Akindayomi who could not read or write was supernaturally able to write these words down. In this visitation, God also said to him that this church would go to the ends of the earth and that when the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in glory, He would meet the church.
The Lord then established a covenant with Pa Akindayomi, synonymous to the Abrahamic covenant in the Bible. He said that He the Lord would meet all the needs of the church in an awesome way if only members would serve Him faithfully and be obedient to His Word.
It is upon this covenant that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was built. Thus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God was born in 1952, destined by the Lord Himself to take the world for Him. The church continued to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they were able to acquire some land thereby witnessing relocation to the present site of the Headquarters of the church at 1-5 Redemption Way, Ebute-Metta, Lagos (formerly 1a, Cemetery Street).
