The Temple of God (TOG) serves as both a Zonal and Area Headquarters, overseeing two thriving Outreach Centers within our community. What sets us apart and makes us a model for other Parishes and Churches is the extraordinary grace and ability God has bestowed on us to start and establish these flourishing Outreach Centers.

Beyond our Worship Services, we are deeply committed to Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Our church is actively involved in various initiatives that support the needy, promote social justice, and enhance the well-being of our community. Additionally, we extend our support to missionary work, both within Nigeria and internationally, spreading the love and message of Christ far and wide.
We prioritize holiness, evangelism, global representation of faith in families, and planting churches strategically worldwide. These goals drive us to make a lasting impact and share God’s love with all nations.
Our pastoral team encompasses the leadership and spiritual oversight provided by pastors within our church, guiding and nurturing the congregation in their faith journey.
Join us in worship and fellowship as we strive to make a positive impact and share God’s love with everyone.
