Foundational Era (1952–1980): RCCG was founded by Pa Josiah Akindayomi in Lagos, with a divine covenant to globalize the church. Despite his illiteracy, Akindayomi supernaturally received the church’s name and mission. The Abuja mission began indirectly through RCCG’s national expansion, with early members holding house fellowships in the 1980s.
Provincial Establishment (2000s): FCT Province Six was carved out under Pastor E.A. Adeboye’s leadership, as part of RCCG’s administrative restructuring to manage rapid growth in Abuja. Its first provincial pastor, appointed in the early 2000s, oversaw the consolidation of 12 pioneer parishes into a cohesive unit.
Modern Growth (2010–Present): The province now oversees 50+ parishes, including specialized ministries (e.g., youth hubs, prison outreach). Notable milestones include the annual “Abuja Revival Summit,” attracting international speakers, and the launch of a provincial radio ministry in 2022.
The mission of our province is to bring the vision of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to life through focused, actionable pillars that drive spiritual growth and community transformation.
We are committed to aggressive church planting, establishing new parishes in underserved areas of Abuja. This effort utilizes modular structures such as house fellowships to enable rapid expansion. Each new parish follows a community-centric model, tailoring its activities to meet local needs — for instance, offering vocational training in low-income neighborhoods.
Holistic community development is another core pillar. This includes social services like free medical outreaches, scholarship programs, and food banks designed to meet physical needs while opening doors for spiritual engagement. In addition, we engage in advocacy by partnering with local governments to support policies that align with Christian ethics, including initiatives that promote family welfare and moral uprightness.
Discipleship and leadership training form a crucial part of our mission. Through the RCCG School of Disciples, we offer weekly Bible studies and certificate programs that deepen members’ theological knowledge. Our Provincial Leadership Institute is dedicated to equipping pastors and lay leaders with skills in modern pastoral care, conflict resolution, and digital evangelism.
We also emphasize dynamic worship and spiritually enriching programs. Monthly Holy Ghost Services serve as powerful night vigils where attendees experience miracles and deliverance. In addition, Faith Clinics provide interactive settings where members receive prayer, counseling, and support for personal challenges.
The vision of RCCG FCT Province Six is firmly anchored in the global mandate of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, while also employing localized strategies tailored to Abuja’s spiritual and societal landscape. The Province aspires to nurture a community of believers who are committed to holiness, thereby living lives that reflect the teachings of Christ and ensure their place in eternal salvation.
We seek to fulfill a vision of ubiquitous evangelism by establishing parishes within five minutes’ walking or driving distance across the city, ensuring that no family remains unreached by the gospel. Through a focus on cultural transformation, the Province aims to reshape societal values using biblical principles, countering moral decline and promoting righteousness in both public and private life. Additionally, we envision ourself as a vital link in RCCG’s global mission, serving as a strategic hub that supports the church’s goal of reaching every nation, while also engaging the distinct urban challenges of Abuja.
