AACC General Committee has admitted the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim Church into the fellowship

During its meeting held on 26th February 2025 via zoom, the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) General Committee anonymously voted in favor of the Eternal Sacred Order of Cherubim and Seraphim (ESOCS) Church application to join the AACC as a full member. This was after the committee received a report highlighting ESOCS church fulfillment of all requirements needed for a church to become an AACC member.

ESOCS Church is an African Instituted Charismatic and Pentecostal Church founded on 9th September 1925 by Moses Orimolade Tunolase at Agoshofin, Lagos Island, Lagos, Nigeria, and incorporated on 14th February 1930. Its vision is ‘Salvation for all through Jesus Christ,’ and its mission is to evangelize and arouse the African in Nigeria and the world to the practice of a spiritual Christian life and to those sublime principles of Christian charity and faith as taught by Christ Himself.  Since its foundations, the church has grown from one small prayer group into a global church with 200 provinces and 3000 branches spread beyond Nigeria to Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, Cotonou, Gabon, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, HongKong, Germany and Belgium.

Following its application for AACC membership, the AACC General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Fidon Mwombeki and Vice President for West Africa, Bishop Teyi Dogbeda Lawson-Kpavuvu, led an AACC delegation for a verification visit to the church head offices in Lagos, Nigeria between 18th and 20th February 2025. While welcoming the delegation, the Prelate of ESOCS Church, Baba Aladura Dr. Dabaye Lamjose described the AACC as a unique space which allows member churches to reflect, speak, act, worship and work together, challenge and support each other, share and debate with each other as members of one body of Christ.

“It was in order to promote and expound ESOCS church interest in ecumenism that we prayerfully, applied to be registered as a member of the AACC.” He said.  

The AACC president, Rt. Rev, Lydia Neshangwe appreciated the committee that was appointed to assess ESOCS church for membership and expressed her delight for the growth experienced by the fellowship. The admission of ESOCS Church into the AACC increases the ecumenical organization's membership to 214 members.
