Who we are

Following Jesus.
Together.

The Church of God is a global Body of Christ with members united in a covenant to walk in the light of God’s Word. In Nigeria, this means building welcoming local churches where people can worship, learn, belong, and serve.

Our mission begins in the communities around us and reaches outward: sharing the full Gospel, making disciples, developing leaders, and laying a faithful foundation for the next generation.
