It is a common practice in Anglican churches to have Christian societies. Parishioners come together to form societies while others join any one of their choices.
The essence of the societies is to:

  • Foster the spirit of brotherly love and Christian fellowship.
  • Encourage members to be present at all church programmes.
  • Develop programmes that will reveal our Lord Jesus Christ to unbelievers and convince them to be His followers.
  • Initiate programmes and activities that will help fast track the progress and development of the church and the congregation.
  • Serve as a forum to easily identify challenges facing members of the society.
Over the past 50 years, the church had witnessed a phenomenal growth in the number of societies from just two (2) in 1961 to twenty-five (25) in the year 2011.
