Our Story
History of RCCG Canaanland
The story of the Redeemed Christian church of God, Canaan land dates back to 1993, when in furtherance of the mandate given to The General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, model parishes were set up by the Redeemed Christian church of God. One of these model parishes was the Apapa Parish, which in turn established Victory Temple as one of its first missions, by Pastor Asuquo Ernest Mfon aka- Pastor Eskor Mfon of blessed Memory. The parish was planted at Sizzlers Hall, Akin Adesola Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Victory temple attained full parish status in January 1995 and became known as Victory Parish. In 1999, the then Victory Parish, was renamed Canaan Land, when the church moved from Sizzlers Hall to her permanent site at 1 Canaan land street, Lekki, Lagos.
At various points, after the church relocated to her permanent site, to further aid construction work, the church moved her services to the chartered institute of bankers auditorium ‘’Banker’s House’’ at Victoria Island.
