Church history

---

Pa Josiah Akindayomi (1909-1981) started The Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria in 1952. Akindayomi was raised in tribal religion in the state of Ondo, Nigeria. His search for the Creator led him to be baptized by the Church Missionary Society in 1927. Somewhat dissatisfied with this group, in 1931 he joined the Cherubim and Seraphim Church¹. Around 1947, he began to believe that church was departing from the faith. Akindayomi left the Cherubim and Seraphim church in 1952 to start a house church fellowship with nine members. Akindayomi led the growing church until his death in 1981, when Enoch Adejare Adeboye assumed the leadership. Adeboye joined the Redeemed Christian Church in 1973 and was ordained a pastor in 1975. Some of his earliest involvement was in translating Akindayomi's sermons from Yoruba into English. Adeboye's appointment was confirmed by the reading of a sealed pronouncement by Pa Akindayomi after his burial.

Church name

---

Pa Akindayomi called his house fellowship the Glory of God Fellowship. He felt he received the true church name through a miraculous "vision of words that appeared to be written on a blackboard. The words were The Redeemed Christian Church of God. Amazingly, Pa Akindayomi who could not read or write, was supernaturally able to write these words down."
