About Church

It started in the house of Mr. Fasinu David at Teniola street, Ijeshatedo. Mr. M. A. Obisiji of First Baptist Church Ijeshatedo was called upon to take up the leadership of the church, he left for his home town in 1981. Dns. D. O. Avwenagha and Mr. S. A. Ogundare took over the leadership of the church from 1981 to 1986, Then, the church got a plot of land at Marayesa street, Aguda, Surulere. Controversies on the said plot of land led to the demolition of the church building.

O. Ogunjobi, S. A. Ogundare, J. Oyetunji. When the need arose to vacate the said temporary space, the church was moved to the house of another member, Mr. S. 0.
