Founded by Reverend Victor Adeyemi, the church would be celebrating the anniversary with a week-long series of events in the Spirit of Gratitude.
Speaking on the anniversary, Rev. Adeyemi emphasised that the celebration is not for “gloating,” but for giving all praise to the Almighty God, who has sustained the church’s mission over three decades.
Adeyemi said the ministry, which was inaugurated on September 30, 1995, at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan, will mark the milestone from Tuesday, September 30 to Sunday, October 5, 2025.
Rev. Adeyemi articulated a vision for the future, looking forward to growing from its current presence of over 40 expressions worldwide, organising hundreds of mega crusades, and intensifying media efforts to drive qualitative nation-building through a change in the morality and culture of the nation.
The six-day anniversary celebration, scheduled to be held at the Grace Cathedral, 325 Harvest House Drive, Liberty Road, Ibadan, would feature an array of spiritual and ceremonial activities.
According to Adeyemi, ‘’On Tuesday , September 30 in the evening, there will be an opening and award ceremony, a historical “homecoming” night, celebrating the ministry’s history, and honoring stellar workers and church planters. It will feature a blessing from Bishop Francis Wale-Oke, National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN).
