Adeboye says he, wife, grandkids, will not attend church for now

Pastor Enoch Adeboye: opts for online service for now because of COVID-19 rules

Pastor Enoch Adeboye announced on Sunday that he and his wife will not attend church services as the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG re-opens in Nigeria.

He spoke today during the online Sunday service of the Church broadcast on Dove Television.

The 78 year-old General Overseer said he and his wife will not be part of such gatherings in Lagos in observance of the protocol of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.

The NCDC advises people above 65 years to keep off large gatherings, such as religious services.

Adeboye also said his grandchildren will not be part of the services because they are under 15.

He said he will continue to conduct online services for some weeks.

He said Pastors under the Church are free to resume services with their congregation or continue with the virtual worship.

“We want to thank the Almighty God that some of us will begin to gather again as from next Sunday.

“I believe that some of you are already gathering in some parts of the world and we believe that you will now begin to enjoy power of corporate prayers once again.
