History of Praise Evangelical Ministry.
The church’s history traces its roots to a small group of believers who shared a common passion for worship, fellowship, and spreading the gospel. It was founded in September, 2022 by Rev Dr Monday Ogbeta, with the purpose of creating a community centered around faith, love, and service. Initially meeting in homes, the church quickly grew as more people were drawn to the message of hope and transformation.
Over the years, the congregation expanded, leading to the establishment of a Rented worship space. Significant milestones include outreach programs. Today, the church stands as a vibrant and diverse body of believers committed to living out the teachings of Jesus Christ.
