The RCCG regions in Nigeria are spread across the country from north to south and east to west, each with a radius of about five kilometers. There are many churches in each region, counting over a hundred, with some having more than one church on their grounds. Let us review the RCCG Provinces And Regions In Nigeria, new provinces created in RCCG and list of RCCG provinces in Lagos.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is a Christian denomination with its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. Josiah Oluwaseun Okoh (also known as Sunday Adelaja), the RCCG’s founder, established it in 1914. It has over 20 million members worldwide, with an estimated 10 million members in Nigeria alone.
The 10 regions of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria are beautifully situated in different parts of the country. You can learn more about each region by navigating down to the links below.
The RCCG was founded in 1952 by Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi (1909–1988) following his involvement in other churches. Rev. Akindayomi chose Enoch Adejare Adeboye as the next General overseer. Enoch Adeboye was a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, when he joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975, and his appointment as the leader (General overseer) of the church was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement. In 1990, the Redeemed Christian Church of God Bible School was founded.
In 1981, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye became the General Overseer of the Church. In 1983, the land for the Redemption Camp in Mowe was purchased. In 1988, a students’ body known as the Redeemed Christian Fellowship (RCF) was established. It is the youth wing of the church concentrated within tertiary institutions of learning in the country. In 1990, Christ the Redeemer’s Friends Universal (CRFU), was established to garner financial and human resources from the very wealthy in society. In 2005, Redeemer’s University was established.
New Provinces Created In RCCG
Andrew Rice, writing in The New York Times, calls the RCCG “one of [Africa’s] most vigorously expansionary religious movements, a homegrown Pentecostal denomination that is crusading to become a global faith.” The church’s leaders preach that in the future, “In every household, there will be at least one member of Redeemed Christian Church of God in the whole world.”
In 2008, it had 14,000 churches and 5 million members in Nigeria, in 80 countries.
The international church is structured in different areas throughout the world. The local churches are now grouped into regions, with 25 Regions in Nigeria. It is also organised throughout most of the world. Notable special spiritual programs are the Holy Ghost Service which is held on the first Friday of every month in Nigeria. Then, the annual Holy Ghost Convention (August) and the Holy Ghost Congress (December) in Nigeria and beyond have diverse schedules.
In 2020, the Lagos Church had 50,000 people.

The official RCCG website outlines its beliefs in the Bible and the Holy Trinity, that the Devil exists, that God formed man in his image, in repentance, in cleansing from sins by God’s grace, in sanctification, water baptism, Holy Spirit baptism, restitution and that God can heal without medicine (by His divine intervention, e.g., through prayer).
