In 1952, Pastor Josiah Akindayomi felt totally persuaded to leave the (white garment) church he belonged to.
He consequently started a house fellowship called ‘the Glory of God Fellowship’ at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
Initially there were 9 members but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread.
Thus, the Redeemed Christian Church of God was born in 1952. The Church continued to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they were able to acquire some land thereby witnessing relocation to the present site of the Headquarters of the Church at 1-5 Redemption Way, Ebute-Metta, Lagos (formerly 1a, Cemetery Street).
Today, the Church or National Headquarter Parish at Redemption Way named ‘THRONE OF GRACE’ under the General Overseer of RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye is being transformed to an ultramodern church faculty to be called the RCCG Coastline Worship Centre.
