The RCCG’s Mission Statement is:

1.     to make it to heaven

2.     to take as many people as possible with them

3.     to have a member of RCCG in every family in every nation

To get to heaven, they say, “holiness will be our lifestyle”. To accomplish the other two, they will “plant churches within five minutes walking distance in every city and town of developing countries and within five minutes driving distance in every city and town of developed countries”. The church intends to pursue these objectives “until every Nation in the world is reached for the Lord Jesus Christ”.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God was founded in 1952 by Nigerian pastor Josiah Akindayomi (1909–1980) after he had been involved in several other churches. In the early 1970s Akindayomi started to look for an educated successor who was not at that time a member of the church. He chose Enoch Adeboye a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, who joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba language to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975, and his appointment as leader of the church was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement.
