Who We Are

The ministry, Christian Worship Centre Kaduna, started as a fellowship of Christian brethren living within the NNPC Housing Estate, Kachia Road, Kaduna in the early 1980s. Brethren from various Churches and Assemblies within Kaduna who were staff of the NNPC decided to have a place of gathering together during the week to fellowship and share the word of God irrespective of denominational or church affiliation. This was enhanced by the Kaduna Family Fellowship, another growing fellowship of Christian brethren aimed at enhancing homes in the light of the word of God.

This in-house fellowship within the NNPC estate held in homes of brethren in the evenings during the week while everyone enjoyed church fellowship on Sundays in their different assemblies. As it always happens, with women and children around, a growing fellowship among the women started especially as their husbands are locked up in the refinery working to keep the nation’s oil company in operating condition. The children started fellowship and having opportunity to gather at the end of the year for a Christmas outing.

Since at the beginning of the design of the NNPC housing estate a provision was made for the citing of an interdenominational church, the brethren then met together to see to the building of a church in the estate in the allocated land. The architectural design was carried out by the firm of Afam Eruchalu and Co and construction started in 1990 while fellowship in the homes grew.

In 1991, evening fellowship (prayer meeting) started at the church site under a tree which grew to having a regular prayer meeting every Friday when a part of the building was constructed. This became the nucleus of the church.

The first leadership of the church was inaugurated in 1991 with Rev. Peter Isi Egho as the first Presiding Elder. Not long after he was consecrated, he was transferred out of Kaduna and Pastor Ezekiel Olatunde Boyinbode who was his vice, took over as the Presiding Elder. Under his leadership and with the assistance of all the brethren and all Christian staff members of NNPC who contributed financially, the building was completed and elders were appointed to oversee the affairs of the church.

As the church grew, it dawned on us that we cannot just sit in the Estate and allow our outside neighbor to wallow in sin, so the need to carry the gospel to the neighborhood started. Our first port of call was Maraban Rido where we labored by His grace for years until a small church was put in place to harvest and nurture the souls the Lord gave us. By His grace, we have moved out of that small church building and erected a bigger one on a plot of land some distance away from the small church. Our outing in Maraban Rido led to establishment of two more churches in Angwan Kaje and Kudansa villages respectively, they are suburbs of Maraban Rido. We thank God for the growth of the two branches.

As the church grew, Christian who believed in our message started coming to the church to fellowship especially from Sabo, Narayi and Barnawa, and it became evident that we will need to have a church in Sabo to cater for the growing population more so as many of them were having transportation problem to come to the Estate. This led to the starting of the Sabo church in 2005/2006. It started as an evening service and eventually metamorphosed into a full-fledged church. This same trend took place in the establishment of both the Kamazou (2010) and Juji (2018) churches. Juji church was officially commissioned on March 22, 2020 just before the Country-wide COVID-19 lockdown.

In our quest to reach out to the villages around us, we conducted revival services in Gefe and Kallah villages in 2008, 2009 and by now we have churches in the two villages, trusting God for their growth into full maturity.

We are called Christian Worship Centre, NNPC Housing Estate Kaduna. It is non-denominational, based on the Biblical teachings of the word of God. We operate an eldership system of leadership.

The current leadership is made up of fourteen (14) elders with Bro Ayodeji Akinlosotu as the Presiding Elder.
