We pray for The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), one of the fastest‑growing provinces in global Anglicanism. Originating from the Church Missionary Society’s first mission at Badagry in 1842, it became an autonomous province in 1979 and now comprises 161 dioceses organised into 14 ecclesiastical provinces, with 25 million members nationwide. Rooted in evangelical Anglican doctrine, the church emphasises biblical authority, vibrant worship, and robust social ministries including education, healthcare, and community development.
Since 2020, the Primate has been The Most Rev’d Henry Chukwudum Ndukuba, who also serves as Archbishop of Abuja. He has publicly reaffirmed the church’s commitment to scripture, evangelism, and conservative theology, repeatedly denouncing revisionist teachings on sexuality.
Widely respected for its growth and influence, the Church of Nigeria continues to shape Anglican identity through its mission-driven leadership, strong institutional structure, and unwavering doctrinal stance.
