RCCG Retires 20 Senior Pastors

TWENTY senior pastors of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, who have attained the age of
70 had bowed out of active service in obedience to
the church’s constitution which pegged retirement
age at 70.

service at the 62nd Annual Convention of RCCG.
The announcement of retirement was made at the
conclusion of this year’s ministers’ conference,
ahead of the convention, by the General Overseer
of the church, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Six of the pastors received awards of excellence
while the 14 others got the award of “Fruitful.”
Moreover, they all received the General Overseer’s
handshake, plaques and undisclosed sums of
money. The church thanked the retirees and
prayed for them.
In a similar development, the church gave awards
to some of its pastors who have served the church
for 20 years and more. They are in the categories
of 20, 25 and 30 years.
To prevent the health crisis recorded during the
marathon fast declared by the church last year,
Adeboye advised members to always break with
pap or other soft items, rather than solid food
which takes longer time to digest.
