BRIEF ON RCCG, PRAISE TABERNACLE
The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Praise Tabernacle, was inaugurated on Sunday, 6th of June, 1999. It started as a small parish with a congregation of about 150 worshippers led by Pastor Theophilus Martins.
Praise Tabernacle, a fast growing Christian Church now has an average population of 1,400 members, consisting about 1,000 adults, 100 teenagers and 300 children on Sunday services.

Apart from this, she has planted over 8 local parishes and 6 mission’s fields in Nigeria and Overseas. An Area Parish with about four local parishes under it can be referred to as the heart beat of God due to her commitment to missions and church planting.
As at today, the parish has planted churches in Nigeria and Overseas. Amongst them are: the Mission fields at Abegede and Kajola (Nigeria); RCCG, Praise Tabernacle, Togo, Uganda, Egypt, Lesotho and Texas in the United State of America.

Lome, Togo
In identifying with the RCCG vision of church planting, God led us to Togo in the year 2008 to survey the land for a possible crusade and subsequent church planting. About 33 members of the club left for Togo in June during the Missions Week. A new parish started in Togo on Sunday, 7th December, 2008.
The Parish which had in attendance only 6 members in her first service, can now boast of over 78 worshipers on Sundays. Aside, they are on the verge of establishing a new parish at a place called Kouve, Togo, West Africa. It was inaugurated on 19th April, 2009.
