To God be the glory for His special favour on the Church in the upliftment of our Diocesan and Mama Lagos (our erstwhile Vicar and Archdeacon) as the 9th Bishop of Lagos – Rt. Rev. Ifedola & Mrs. Modupe Okupevi. May His name be praised forevermore.
We also bless God for our Vicar and Archdeacon, Venerable Folorunso OreOluwa & Engr. Mrs. Ibidappa Agbelusi. We pray that our Church under their leadership will grow in every area in Jesus Name. Amen.
The Women’s organizations in the church operate under the following Units:

Women’s Guild
The women’s guild unit held all their fellowships in the year 2023. We visited members who celebrated their landmark birthdays and other celebrations are periodically carried out. We also visited members who were bereaved. Cash and material gifts were frequently given to identified indigents among the group or those in need.
Mother’s Union
The mother’s union unit held all their fellowships during the year. We rounded up the fellowship with an evening of praise and thanksgiving. Three members of our Church were enrolled into the Mothers’ Union along with others from the Archdeaconry on Sunday, 11th June, 2023.
Mrs. Emamoke Dare who was the fellowship’s coordinator was promoted to the position of Assistant (Lay) Diocesan Enrolling member. We bless God for her life and pray for God’s grace to function efficiently in her new role.
