History of Celebration Church International

Who is the founder of Celebration Church International?



Celebration Church was established in November 2012 and is founded by Apostle Emmanuel Iren. 

Pastor Emmanuel Iren has a wealth of experience in pastoral ministry, having served at the Redeemed Christian Church of God for a period of nine years. He fondly describes this tenure as having an indelible impact on his life. Beginning as a humble drummer boy, he gradually worked his way up the ranks, representing his zone at Sunday School Bible quizzes. At the tender age of thirteen, he delivered his inaugural sermon on a Sunday morning at Teens Week for his then RCCG branch.

As a spiritual protégé of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Pastor Emmanuel Iren’s ministerial calling was triggered while he was still an undergraduate at Covenant University. He began ministering to people in 2008 and initiated a fellowship on campus, named Triumphal Youth Fellowship. This fellowship grew over time, metamorphosing into a fully-fledged ministry of its own, Life Triumphal Church. Remarkably, Pastor Emmanuel Iren inaugurated the first campus of the church at the young age of twenty-two, on the 11th of November, 2012, at Emsquare, Ijegun. In 2014, the church was renamed Celebration Church International, a testament to the success and impact of Pastor Emmanuel Iren’s ministry.

Live it: Our lives should be a commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not enough to know that
Jesus Christ is Lord, you must also live it.
Tell it: Celebrating the
finished work of Jesus also means telling it to as many people as you can.”
