About us
Our Church
The nature and qualities of our parish are typical of any Bible-believing church. We follow the teachings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Born by divine order
Our parish is part of one spiritual, worldwide, united and indivisible Holy Church, the Celestial Church of Christ, which came into the world from heaven by divine order on 29 September 1947 in Porto-Novo, Dahomey (now the Republic of Benin), through the founder of the Church, the Late Reverend, Pastor, Prophet, Founder Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa.
For fifty years, Elephant & Castle Parish has been a spiritual home in South London for worship, healing and fellowship.
