Christ Way Ministries International started as Hospital Christian Fellowship in the late 70s by few Hospital Workers who loved the Lord, desired to grow spiritually and had burden to win others for Christ.
The then Hospital Christian Fellowship later became Christ Way Fellowship having had more non-hospital workers as members and in November, 1992, its name was changed to Christ Way Ministries International. It commenced as a church with 90 members at its present National Headquarters, located at Iredapo Quarters in Ile-Ife.
The Ministry focuses on evangelism, spiritual growth, family life and personal development of members, which have contributed immensely to her present growth of about 7000 in membership with 84 branches (local churches and Fellowship centres in higher institutions) in 7 states of Nigeria.
The current General Overseer is Pastor (Dr.) Samuel Odunlami Orioke, who voluntarily retired from active medical practice to devote himself more to the ministry. The Headquarters’ office is in Ile Ife, Nigeria with over 150 pastors in its workforce.
