History

edit

Dunamis International Gospel Centre was established on November 10, 1996.[4] A church service was held there for two weeks before the church moved to the Abuja Sheraton Hotel & Towers, where worship took place for about six months.[5][6][7] The church moved to its own worship location at Area 1, beside the Old Federal Secretariat in Abuja, in June 1997, less than a year after the ministry started. The ministry has several branches worldwide.[8][9][10][11][12]
