Birth of CCC Oasis of Grace Parish
Celestial Church of Christ Oasis of Grace Parish (CCC OGP) was established in 2014 whilst our name was given to us on Sunday, September 3rd, 2017, in London, England.
This Parish was founded in direct adherence to the Divine Mandate given to the global body of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide by its Founder, Reverend Pastor Prophet Samuel B J Oshoffa. CCC OGP stands as a vibrant, spiritual home dedicated to the unwavering Word of God.
Our Leadership and the Meaning of Our Name
Our spiritual journey is guided by our Shepherd, Venerable Superior Evangelist Prophet Olumide Lawson.
The name "Oasis of Grace" is central to our identity. As our Shepherd often states, "In the midst of turmoil/despair, we have found an Oasis of Grace." We are called to be a place of spiritual refreshing, abundant grace, and rest for all who seek refuge and strength in the Lord.
Birthed from Humble Beginnings (2017 - Present)
The foundation of CCC Oasis of Grace Parish was a true testament to faith. We were birthed from humble beginnings, starting in a small, temporary space with no guarantee of our next step. Through unwavering faith, we were later blessed with the opportunity to serve within another local church building for seven formative years.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic served as a pivotal moment, teaching us how to innovate, connect, and reach beyond the four walls of His sanctuary. To the glory of God, in 2021, we triumphantly landed in our current, dedicated home, where we worship today: Unit 20 Franthorne Way, Bellingham Trading Estate, London, SE6 3BX.
In addition to leading CCC OGP, our Shepherd, Venerable Superior Evangelist Prophet Olumide Lawson, was also appointed to be the Shepherd of CCC Olajuwon Tejuosho Cathedral, Nigeria, stepping in to guide the continuity of the parish into His kingdom. This commitment reflects his dedication to serving the wider Celestial Church of Christ community.
