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.
