<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">In summer of 1982, there was a gathering of a small group of Nigerians during an evangelical visit to Washington, DC by the then Christ Apostolic Church World-wide Representative, Prophet T.O Obadare. This “gathering” was the birth of Christ Apostolic Church in the Washington metropolitan area. Worship services began in one of the members residence located at 1465 Columbia Road Washington DC. In 1984, Evangelist Samuel Fadojutimi was sent from Christ Apostolic Church headquarters in Nigeria to lead this small group and soon this modest congregation journeyed from an apartment to a two-storey building located at 1545 6th street NW, Washington DC.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Pastor Samuel Fadojutimi left the mission in 1989 and Pastor Paul Obadare took over from him. 1992 was a trying period for the assembly  due to  an administrative conflict which later caused majority of the members to move out of  1545 6th st church. The first service after this move took place at Armstrong Adult Education center building on 3rd and O st, NW. A couple of months later, the church was able to secure a space at AME church building on 11th  and M  street, NW under the leadership of a newly assigned minister- Pastor Alfred Shasanmi.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Then in 1993, Pastor Shasanmi was transferred by the mission to one of the assemblies in London. Through all these, God was  building his church and the members continued to stand firm. In 1994-1995 was more or less a vacuum period in terms of pastoral leadership. During this period, all the leaders of the church, led by the Patron, Elder Kunle Aladeselu handled both the spiritual and administrative affairs of the church. And with the utmost cooperation and participation of the entire congregation, the church of God continued to march forward.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Even during this period, God was faithful unto us. He provided for us a servant of His who was gracious enough to shuttle between two churches.(pastor TAO Agbeja). He was at that time a resident pastor of one of our churches in Los Angeles, but for a year or more he traveled back and forth to be a “Transit Pastor” to this church of God. However, towards the end of 1995, God perfected His plans and then the “Transit Pastor” pastor TAO Agbeja moved down to Washington to take over the Pastoral duties of the church.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">Presently, church is been handle by the new pastor Ilufoye.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;">C.A.C House of Praise moved into her old building in October 1995. To God Be the Glory for Great, we  move to the new building in 2009 .Things He Hath Done.</span></div>

<span style="color: #000000;">We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible profession of faith, and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

<span style="color: #000000;">We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for the commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.</span></td>

<span style="color: #000000;">We believe that every human being has direct relationship with God. He is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority. Therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.</span>

<span style="color: #000000;">We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a denominational organization. Such organization, whether a regional or district conference, exists and functions by the will of the Churches. Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Churches may likewise cooperate with inter-denominational fellowships on a voluntary, independent basis.</span></td>
