About Us
Family of Love — Rooted in Christ
Welcome to Christ Lovers Christian Centre, a Church where love is not just a value—it’s our identity. We are a purpose-driven, spirit-filled, and community-rooted church based in Lagos, Nigeria, on a mission to bring faith, hope, love, and healing to our world. From your very first visit, you’ll sense it—we are more than a gathering. We are a family of love. Whether life has left you searching, hurting, or simply hungry for something deeper, this is a place where you can belong, grow, and thrive. We exist to reach those the world often forgets: the disoriented, the disillusioned, and the displaced. Our doors and hearts are open wide, welcoming all into a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ
At CLCC, we’re not here to play church—we are on assignment. We believe every person has a purpose. That includes you. Whether you are exploring faith, returning after time away, or looking for a vibrant Church family to grow in, we welcome you. Our ministries are designed to meet the needs of families, youth, singles, children, and the elderly alike. From dynamic worship and discipleship classes to intentional small groups and life-giving service opportunities, there’s a place for you to find purpose and meaning here
Our journey began as a campus fellowship for young people looking for belonging. What started in humility has grown into a movement grounded in the transformative power of love—the love of Christ and the love for people. We are not just building a congregation—we’re raising change agents. Every member is invited to go deeper in Christ, walk boldly in purpose, and become a vessel of healing in their world. As we grow together, we bring healing to broken hearts, faith to the weary, and hope to communities.

Beliefs
Our core beliefs
Our Understanding of God
We believe in the existence of God as the Creator and Ruler of the universe. God is eternally present in three personalities: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. These three personalities are co-equal and form one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Jesus Christ’s Role
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, co-equal with the Father. He lived a perfect, sinless human life and willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross to atone for the sins of all people. Rising from the dead after three days, He demonstrated His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return one day to reign as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
The Role of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is also co-equal with God and Jesus Christ. He plays a vital role in the world by revealing to people their need for Jesus Christ. Once a person becomes a Christian, the Holy Spirit resides in them, providing power for daily living, understanding of spiritual truths, and guidance in doing what is right. He also bestows spiritual gifts upon believers. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
The Authority of the Bible
The Bible is considered God’s Word, written by human authors under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we believe the Bible to be the ultimate source of truth for our beliefs and how we should live our lives. It is wholly inspired by God and contains no errors. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
The Nature of Human Beings
We believe that humans are created in the spiritual image of God, designed to reflect His character. While each person possesses great potential for good, we are also affected by sin, an attitude of disobedience toward God. Sin creates a separation between us and God and leads to various problems in life. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
Understanding Salvation
Salvation is a free gift from God that we must accept. We cannot earn it through self-improvement or good works. Instead, we are saved by placing our trust in Jesus Christ and accepting His offer of forgiveness. This new life in Christ begins when we turn away from living for ourselves and choose to follow Him by faith. Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5
Assurance of Eternal Security
Once we receive salvation through Jesus Christ, we are eternally secure in our relationship with God. True believers cannot lose their salvation, as it is upheld by God’s grace and power, not by our own efforts. This assurance gives us comfort and peace. John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10,14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
Understanding Eternity
People are designed to exist forever, either eternally separated from God due to sin (Hell) or in union with Him through forgiveness and salvation (Heaven). These are real places of everlasting existence, and our choices in this life determine our eternal destination. John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Cor. 2:7-9
