The newly completed church building, located in Durumi area of Abuja, is a magnificent five-storey facility that can accommodate up to 3,000 congregations at once.

The Pastor-in-Charge of the ‘Jesus House’ Parish in Abuja, Major-General Pat Akem-Vingir (retd.), highlighted the importance of the church in the social and economic fabric of Nigeria.

He said, “If you remove the church from Nigeria, the country will collapse. People may deny it, but I am saying it unapologetically.

“If the church were not in Nigeria doing what it is doing; serving as the light of the world and as salt of the earth, the degradation would have been more than we can imagine.

“Seventy per cent of the country is youthful. You can’t allow that kind of generation to be wasted. The church is a place where they can find hope, direction, and purpose.”
