HISTORY

The all sufficient God, ever true, the present help in the history RCF from birth to cradle, adolescence to adulthood, the story of RCF has been one of the continuous and progressive manifestation of the faithfulness of the almighty God. of a truth, the lord is faithful and great is thy faithfulness ,considering the metamorphosis of the fellowship from its humble beginning with about five people in number over several years ago to the overflowing sufficiency which daily represents the trend which the lord magnanimously bestows on this fellowship. Physical of this are manifest in the edifices resplendent in ecumenical center of university of Maiduguri and beyond. A graphic example is the sprawling of the elevated altar, interlocking of the tent, fans over our heads, beautiful roofing, and a huge transformation of the whole look of the tent to a magnificent auditorium referred to as “house of meekness” located right at the heart of ecumenical center of unimaid. 
              

The Redeemed Christian Fellowship was founded by some group of individuals, who were all students of University of Maiduguri . They were dedicated, devoted,   committed and passionate for the work of God and carried it to greater length. The fellowship was first located in a small class room with about five (5) people in attendance and then the location was moved to a room in the hostel. After a while, they moved to the lawn Tennis Court opposite Commercial area. As it grew in number and status and prayed for a permanent site at that time. The school authority decided to give portions of land to various denominations for fellowship.

As time went on, it grew much more in number, status and in diverse ways. The Number of people increased from 5, 20, 50-800 people as recorded in 2010/2011 session. These illustrations are just but a few of the very many physical and material manifestations of the everlasting sufficiency of the owner of the “cattle on the thousand hills” whose blessings he daily loads RCF with. Great is thy faithfulness who daily loads us with His benefits giving RCF the grace to make a boast in him with more than three hundred members and have sent forth graduates (fyb) of more than fourteen sets such as dominant army, royal champions, great icon, favoured generation and now the light bearers of recent times.

Recalling experiences, some of the members, workers and leaders of RCF in early times assert of the God who rules over the affairs of man as the one who provides for them financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically and materially from then till now. Great men and women like the likes of Bro Ikenna, Bro Alex Elijah, Bro Sam Okunrutemi, Mama Clara and so on, always told the family of Christ not to look unto any man, but to continually look unto God for every provision and also to serve God diligently because God is not in the habit of owing any man, profoundly said by Pst. Alex Elijah. This word of grace was sown in the lives of many which was carried on by their predecessors, like the likes of Bro Bethel, Bro Ayomimpe Ogunbameru, Bro Levi Bulus and so on which germinated, yielded good fruits, and further that seed experienced divine pollination right on this campus and even beyond, up until now.

  According to the inspiration of the Almighty God which it followed and strictly adhered to, has brought us thus far. God always have the best plan and He has used the School Authority to move the fellowship to a higher ground. And now, we have roof over our head, a gorgeous looking auditorium, and lovely members and workers (The Happiest People on Campus) where we all dwell together in Love and Unity.

 Today we celebrate 15 years of existence

Still growing and flourishing

To God be the Glory!!!

Indeed Great is thy Faithfulness!!!

The church forbids debt, worldliness and rebellion against church authority. It encourages abstinence from all evil and reverence to parents & authorities.
