Founded
nearly 40 years ago by Reverend Dr Tunde Joda and his wife, Christ Chapel
International Churches redefined Pentecostalism in Nigeria when it galvanised
the Lagos population into a new and soul soaring worship method which in no
time caught up with Christendom in Nigeria.
With
a predominantly student congregation apparently because its founding pastor,
Reverend Dr Tunde Joda was at the time a medical student of the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital; the radical departure from old lacklustre worship
methods in Churches around was significantly impactful.
Today’s
Christ Chapel is a ministry with well over 30 worship centres across Nigeria,
Ghana, Cameroun, The United Kingdom, USA and other parts of the world where
‘Chapelites’ still run ministries by different names.
