Rooted in truth.
Living in fellowship.
A congregation of the church of Christ in D.S.C Orhuwhorun, gathered on the Lord's day and at work through the week in homes, classes and the township.
How this congregation came to be.
It began around 1990-1991, when a number of brethren moved from the Orhuwhorun congregation and started worshipping together in the home of Bro. Enwerem, then at No. 6 Lafiaji Close, D.S.C.
What follows is the congregation's own account, as the church tells it.
