Guests and church members in the diaspora will converge on Funtua this morning for the ceremony which started last Monday. The week-long programme features symposium, lectures, prayers, panel discussions, musical concert and drama, among others.
The anniversary service this morning, which is the grand finale will feature presentations of Life time Achievement Awards to 10 former pastors and lay leaders of the church who served the church from 1953 to 2005.
The church, which was founded in 1940 by some Yoruba traders and railway workers, the majority of whom were of Ogbomoso origin, was initially sited in a private residence called Ile Ogbomoso (meaning the house of the Ogbomoso people) in Tsohuwar Kasuwa area of Funtua.
It scaled all hurdles to become what it is today as documented in the church history book slated to be presented today.
The book is also a chronicle of evangelistic efforts of the church and its pace of development in the last 70 years.
