The Christ National Church (TCNC) was founded by the late Revd Samuel Olaiya Akinola Adeyina in Lagos, Nigeria. He was a man of God devoted to Prayer and Word of God with many signs and wonders following his ministry of nearly 40 years. However, he placed little emphasis on  having other branches of the church. This therefore gave rise to many independent Churches coming out of his Ministry. He appointed Revd Joseph Adeyina Oreofe as his successor in 2004 and was called to glory in 2008. Since then the Church has continued with the total devotion to Holiness, Word of God and Prayer but with a mission to plant her Churches all over the nations of the earth.
