About Banner of Love

About the Origin of RCCG (The Redeemed Christian Church of God)

RCCG was founded in 1952 by Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi (1909–1980) after he had been involved in a number of other churches. Rev. Akindayomi chose Enoch Adeboye as the next General overseer. Enoch Adeboye was a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, as at the time he joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975, and his appointment as leader(General overseer) of the church was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement. In 1990, Redeemed Christian Church of God Bible School is founded.

THE HISTORY OF RCCG BANNER OF LOVE

RCCG Banner of Love is a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of the largest and fastest-growing Pentecostal churches in the world.

The pioneer pastor was Pastor Efema Akioya, who led a team of students to plant the church on Herbert Macaulay Way, just by Saint Agnes Bus stop, Yaba, Lagos. The church began with a few members who met in a rented hall for worship and fellowship. The church faced many challenges in its early years, such as lack of funds, facilities, and manpower. However, the church persevered and trusted God for His provision and guidance.

Over the years, RCCG Banner of Love has experienced several changes in leadership, location, and membership. The church has had several pastors in charge since its inception including Pastor Adedayo Adeniyi, who is the current pastor. The church has also moved to different venues as it outgrew its previous spaces. The church currently worships at 34, Owodunni Street, Iwaya, Yab, Lagos.
