The Deeper Christian Life Ministry, founded by Pastor Williams Kumuyi on August 3, 1973, celebrated its 50th anniversary on Sunday with a global service at its headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos.
During the global 50th anniversary celebration service, emphasis was laid on how the denomination, which started in 1973 with a bible study of 15 members at Kumuyi’s official residence in Flat 2, Faculty of Education Campus, University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos has risen to about 5.3 million people across 150 countries.
In his anniversary message, titled ‘Marching Forward with Fresh Vision into the Future Destiny’, Kumuyi said, “50 years have come and gone and there’s a new start, a new platform to rise higher and go beyond everything we have ever done. We come with a new heart, new devotion, new consecration, and new demonstration of deeper love for Christ in Jesus name.”
The major highlights of the celebration service were the launch of a book titled “Deeper Life: The Pursuit of Heaven’s Goal,” a promo for the first Deeper Life Study Bible in collaboration with the Bible Society of Nigeria, the unveiling of a 50th anniversary logo plaque on behalf of the DCLM Worldwide, another anniversary plague on behalf of pastors and leaders in the church, and goodwill messages from representatives across the world.
The celebration service was graced by some members of Kumuyi’s immediate family, church members, leaders, and overseers within and outside DCLM from different nations across the world.
