Pastors

Founding Pastors Inyang and Toyin Okutinyang

Pastors Inyang and Toyin Okutinyang are the Pastors of Christ Lovers Christian Centre.

They were both saved as teenagers, and began to fulfill their call to ministry in their late teens, while they were university students. Pastor Inyang assumed the pastorate of his first church in 1985, when he became the pastor of a congregation of about 20 people in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. By the time he left the church in 1990 to follow God’s leading to pursue further ministry training at RHEMA Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the church had grown to over 700 members, with many outreaches into the community. Today, the church continues to prosper and grow, and has literally ministered to thousands, with many pastors having been raised up under Pastor Inyang’s ministry!

The Okutinyangs are both 1993 graduates of RHEMA. Pastor Inyang is ordained with RHEMA Ministerial Assoc. International (RMAI) and the Assoc. of Faith Churches and Ministers (AFCM). They have also pioneered Foundation of Faith Fellowship in Ontario, Canada and Victory Life Church in Toronto, Canada. They are blessed with a son and two daughters.
