Christ Chapel International Churches London, an offshoot of the Voice Of Faith Ministries, was founded in December 1983 by Rev. Dr. Chris Tunde Joda and Victoria Ebun Joda. What began with a small group of believers in Lagos, Nigeria, has grown into a global ministry. At the time, the Nigerian Christian community was steeped in tradition, with a form of godliness but lacking in true spiritual power. Socio-religious doctrines often overshadowed the pure message of faith.
Inspired by the conviction that “They just shall live by faith,” Pastor Tunde Joda was led by the Spirit of God to address the need for a more profound understanding of His Word. This vision gave birth to the Voice of Faith Ministries, with the mission to teach and preach the uncompromising Word of Faith. Our goal has always been to liberate people from religious traditions and guide them toward the realisation of their God-given inheritance and victorious living by faith.
Pastor Tunde Joda introduced a revolutionary concept of praise and worship, which initially faced scepticism as a fleeting “youth” movement. However, over time, it became evident that Christ Chapel International Churches was initiating a profound and lasting transformation. This approach emphasised spontaneous worship from the heart, moving beyond mere ritualistic practices. Today, this movement has grown into a global community of dedicated worshippers.
Flowing from the above charter of beliefs, Christ Chapel International Churches has a clear vision, which is summed up in this single statement:
“TOUCHING LIVES AND GLORIFYING CHRIST”.
THIS FORMS THE ANCHOR FOR OUR FIVE KEY OBJECTIVES.
Worship
Christ Chapel International Churches has always been known as a place of strong corporate worship because we understand that our first command from God is to love Him with our heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37). Ministry to the Lord comes before ministry to the people. The “first love” is for Jesus.
We believe that Praise is a calling given to every believer. “These people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise." (Isaiah 43:21). The choir (that we called Levites), music teams and our worship services provide avenues to lead us into Praise and Worship, both as a body and individually.
Prayer
It is our belief in Christ Chapel International Churches that it is up to the Church to pray God’s will into the earth because Jesus says: “I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 16:18-19). Jesus has given us the authority to release His will on earth through prayer.
We as believers – the Church – are to stop the works of the devil through prayer. We have an Intercessory Prayer Team, Prayer Seminars and All-Night prayer vigils to release the power of prayer in our lives and around us.
Fellowship
The Church is a community of Believers, we therefore believe that as a Church, we are a FAMILY, loving together and caring for each other. We are a body with many members (1 Corinthians 12:12). Every member of the Church needs the other members because God uses each of us to supply something to someone else. The first believers in Acts shared their possessions with one another, ate, prayed, and worshipped God together.
Teaching
Foundational to all that is done in Christ Chapel International Churches, is the WORD of God which is preached in its simplicity and accuracy because we believe if “a life” is touched other “lives” will be affected and “generations” will be transformed. Christ Chapel International Churches has “COACHED” many leaders in Churches and organisations around the world because of the prophetic and life-changing messages that bring out the potential in people.
We believe that Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers are given by God for training and equipping believers to do the works of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12).
As a Church, we’re always nurturing believers until they grow into full maturity because we believe that the Word of God builds and equips us, God’s Children, to be and to do what He desires for us. The Discipleship Classes, Seminars, Leadership Training Programmes, Audio Teaching Materials, Books, and Radio/TV broadcasts provide training grounds for believers to be better equipped to do what God has called them to them.
Evangelism
The command says – “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). We believe that as a Church, it is our duty to reach the community where God has planted us with the good news, healing for the sick, deliverance for the oppressed, and setting the captives free (Luke 4:18).
Christ Chapel International Churches believes that the Church of God has the answer to the world’s problems, and we must share Christ in every way we can. The power to “witness” comes from the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) which gives us creative ideas of “how” we can reach our communities and meet their needs. All that we do in worship, prayers, fellowships, and teachings are all preparation for evangelism. God gave Jesus because he loved the world, His love has not changed, and we are to reach the unsaved with this message of God’s love. That’s why we do street evangelism, Mission outreach, door-to-door witnessing, distribution of tracts, and Benevolent outreach.
Each of these five areas is important. All of them flow together as one, thus giving the total Vision and Ministry of the local church. While some specialised departments and programs may emphasise one or more areas, all of them are incorporated into the Sunday and Mid-week Services.
There is a place for you at Christ Chapel International Churches. Seek God’s will. He will reveal to you the place where you can give and receive in this ministry. Growth comes from commitment. Get your roots down into this vision. The greater your commitment and dedication, the greater will be your growth and progress.
We invite you to be a part of our vibrant community and experience the transformative power of faith. Whether through our local fellowship or our global outreach, Christ Chapel International Churches is dedicated to guiding and supporting you in your spiritual journey.
