Our History
The CCIC/VOFM started off with a fellowship of 3 people in August 1982 at Ibidun Street. It later moved to the back house of No. 8 Adisa Bashua Str, off Adelabu Str, Surulere with more people in attendance. The church was established on Christmas day in the year 1983, and had its humble beginning in Yewande Memorial School on James Robertson Street, Surulere, from there to the renowned Super Cinema Hall also in Surulere and then to a larger worship centre in Ijora. Most of the properties where the worship centres of the church are domiciled are owned by the church, hence they represent a very strong asset base for the church to continue to do the work of spreading the Gospel, touching and changing the lives and destinies of all that give their lives to Christ at the church. From this humble beginning, now Christ Chapel under the leadership of our dynamic and charismatic Senior Pastors has grown to and now operates from over 40 missions centres across the country and internationally.
Our Story
From the beginning, our desire has been simple: to help people discover the life God has made available to them through faith in His Word. Built on the conviction that “the just shall live by faith,” Christ Chapel has remained committed to teaching the Word of God in a way that inspires believers to know God personally, grow in faith, and live with confidence in His promises. At the heart of our journey has been a deep appreciation for genuine worship. Through the years, Christ Chapel has encouraged a culture of worship that comes from the heart—worship that is sincere, joyful, expressive, and centred on God. What began as a fresh expression of worship has continued to shape generations of believers and create an atmosphere where people can encounter God and grow in their relationship with Him.
Today, Christ Chapel International Churches is a growing family of believers, united by faith and a desire to see lives transformed by the truth of God’s Word. We believe there is a place for you here—whether you are beginning your journey with Christ, looking to grow deeper in your faith, or seeking a community where you can worship, learn, serve, and flourish.
Vision Statement
Worship
We believe that Praise is a calling given to every believer. “these people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise”. (Isaiah 43:21).
Prayer
It is our believe in Christ Chapel that. It is up to the Church to pray God’s will into the earth because Jesus says: “I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Fellowship
The Church is a community of Believers, we therefore believe that as a Church, we are a family, loving together and caring for each other.
Teaching
As a Church, we’re always nurturing believers until they grow into full maturity because we believe that the Word of God builds and equips us, God’s Children, to be and to do what He desires for us.
Evangelism
We believe as a Church, it is our duty to reach the community where God has planted us with the good news, healing for the sick, deliverance for the oppressed and setting the captives free (Luke 4:18).
