RHEMA CHAPEL PROFILE

The Rhema Chapel International Churches (RCIC) also known as the Ever Increasing Word Ministries is focused on ministering to the Spirit, Soul and Body of believers. The Church is Head quartered at Tanke, Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria.

HISTORY OF RHEMA CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL CHURCHES

The divine call on the life of the founder was received in December, 1981. There was a programme that was being held at the Kwara State Polytechnic. It was a programme on the gifts of the Spirit. He attended because there was a deep impression on his heart that he should be in that meeting. As he sat in the service and this man was ministering the word of God, all of a sudden in the middle of his sermon, he heard the Voice of God. God said: “I have called thee, I have chosen thee, I have ordained and anointed thee, to take my words to the nations, emphasizing its integrity”.

RCIC was formally inaugurated on November 29th, 1987, at the Olufunmilayo Conference Hall, Circular Hotels, Ilorin. From the Circular Hotels, the Chapel moved to Katola Day Care center along the University Road, Tanke, Ilorin. In 1989, it moved again across the road to its present site.

When God revealed the vision of Rhema Chapel, He spoke to Reverend George Adegboye, that the Church, will not just be involved in gathering people together or going through some motions on Sunday. Among many other things the Lord said is that Rhema Chapel shall have certain peculiarities.

Rhema Chapel outreaches are to all levels of the society. We reach out to youths, men, women, children, the poor and the rich. The chapel is like a “combined harvester”. Ten years after the first Chapel was inaugurated, God has caused a bountiful multiplication in the area of Church planting.

From the Rhema Chapels which came out of the first stage of Church planting efforts of the ministry, other categories of churches have emerged, which are;

Rhema Chapel World Outreach Churches,
