vision & naming

Moved by the Holy Spirit of God to become a full fledged Church. Rev. Chukwuma Iroezi, Anthony Nwokafor, Francis Ukwamedua, Emma Onyekaonwu and Charles Igwe meet to discuss the vision of opening a Church. The name World Missions Christian Fellowship was selected as the best fit for the vision and purpose for establishing a Church. It was to be a Church open to the World generally, able to support various Missions within and outside the United States of America, and provides a center of worship for Africans and Nigerians in particular.

The Church is registered under the name, WORLD MISSIONS CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP (WMCF) and a venue for Sunday worship negotiated with AGAPE CHRISTIAN CENTER, Van Nuys, CA. WMCF used the Baptistry hall, starting Service at Noon which was the end of the Host Church’s Morning Service of the Host Church.


November 1, 1998
WMCF formally opens its doors as a Church to the world. However, growth was slow to come partly because of the location of the Church and partly because of our Sunday Service could only start once the Host Church was done.
