Brief History
The early church began with a band of ordinary persons, unknown to the then
known world, yet turned the whole world around with the gospel of the Lord Jesus. These disciples (apostles) spread abroad
preaching Jesus, and consequently planting churches, thus carving a niche for themselves as a morale in evangelism and church
planting. Such is the history of First Baptist Church, Somolu-Lagos which acted based on the command "GO YE..." Through the
leadership of the Holy Spirit leading the man of God, Rev. E.A. Awotunde to plant a new preaching station called REDEEMED
BAPTIST CHURCH at Ibafo in Ogun State on 26th November,2000. Since the church has been planted, she has been growing both
in stature and in the grace of God.
Today, the church, a full member of Nigerian Baptist Convention
can confidently boast in the Lord of having a completed place of worship, five cell group centres,and fast growing membership
with a full time resident Pastor.
