Cherubim and Seraphim Church marks 100 Years with Centenary Celebrations in UK

The Cherubim and Seraphim Church, one of Nigeria’s oldest and most influential African-initiated Christian movements, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a series of iconic Centenary events in the United Kingdom.

Founded in 1925 by St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase in Nigeria, the Church has grown from a small revivalist movement into a global Christian community spanning Africa, Europe, North America, and beyond. The UK has been a central part of this story, with the first branch established in 1965, making this a dual celebration of both the Church’s Centenary and 60 years of presence in the UK.

To mark this landmark occasion, the Church is hosting Seminars and a Centenary Thanksgiving Service in Summer 2025.

Comments on the centenary

Chair of the UK Centenary Committee, Pastor Dr Richard Fasunloye noted that: “The Cherubim and Seraphim Church has been a spiritual home for generations of African Christians in the UK.”

He added: “This milestone is not only a celebration of our past, but a moment to renew our mission for faith, unity, and social contribution in a multicultural Britain.”

One of the Church’s Youth leaders, Pastor Omololu Fagbore stated that “We envision that the Cherubim & Seraphim Church continues to be a vibrant centre of faith and community for the next century and beyond, serving the needs of our communities with love and compassion.”

These events will bring together community leaders, dignitaries, faith representatives, and worshippers from across the UK and the international Diaspora.
