HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
Pastor E.A Adeboye, did not start in the church as the General Overseer overnight, he was once the translator of the original founder of the church Reverend J.O Akindayomi. Let us look at a brief history of RCCG.
It started as a 12 man group in the year 1952 known as the ‘OGO OLUWA FELLOWSHIP’ by Pa J.O Akindayomi (the J.O stands for Josiah Olufemi), the major aim of the group then was for intensive bible study, righteousness and prayers.
After some time, the fellowship began to grow and then the emergence of a church, them several attempts to find a name to the church started, but none stuck, so the founder started praying and fasting and God revealed to him the name of the church in a vision. Though he was not literate, but was able to write the name of the church he saw in the vision on a blackboard, hence the name today. God also revealed to him the mission and visions of the church.
On the 2nd of November, 1980, Reverend Josiah Akindayomi went to be with the Lord, but before he left, placed it on Pastor E.A Adeboye to continue the journey. In 1981, February to be précised, pastor EA Adeboye became the General overseer of RCCG
Now, due to the new policy of the 20 years tenure of religious leaders in Nigeria, the power of General overseer in Nigeria was transferred to Pastor JO Obayemi but Pastor EA Adeboye still remains the General Overseer of RCCG worldwide
