Our secret is found in our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom this great Vision of repositioning the Youths was birthed through our daddy,
the general overseer of MFM worldwide, Dr Daniel Olukoya and his lovely wife, Pastor Sade Olukoya.
This is a Vision to rescue young men and women from the destructive agenda of the devil. To God's glory,
the Vision is progressive transforming lives with astonishing testimonies recorded, bringing salvation to the lost souls,
and joy over—flow to the hopeless. Thereby, hijacking the Youths from the Clubs to Church, prostitutes to prophets...
from darkness to light. As a result, we record the highest gathering of Youths, trooping in thousands on a single service meeting,
all to God's glory. Call us “The Place of His Greater Glory”, that's our name.
The Vision for the Youth Church which started in the year 2007 has now become a global phenomenon. The G.O of MFM worldwide, Dr DK, OIukoya, initiated a '70—Point Agenda for the fulfillment that Vision. The list comprises items and activities to be carried out to reach young men and women wherever they may be. To disperse this agenda, a ‘platform was needed to help bring these young people together; hence the birth of the Youth Church in the Ministries.
The Youth Church at the International Headquarters, a.k.a. the Place of His Glory, started on the 3rd of February, 2008. It was an interesting day that featured 1,600 young men and women gathered in a hall that was built to accommodate about 900 persons. After two Sunday services there, the church had to relocate to its current place, the UNILAG Multipurpose Hall (a 5000 seat capacity Hall), and it has remained there till date.
The transformation story of the Youth Church cannot be said without appreciating the General Overseer of the MFM Ministries Worldwide, Dr. D.K. Olukoya and his amiable wife Pst(Mrs) Shade Olukoya. Also, the visionary leadership of the pioneer assembly pastor of the Youth Church, Pastor David Popoola and his team of Pastors were at the forefront of making the Youth Church a success story. Pastor D, as he is fondly called, worked closely with God and got direct inspiration from the Holy Spirit t0 move the Youth Church forward in both home and abroad.
Pastor David Popoola, is currently the Resident Pastor of the Ministries' foreign mission to Dallas, Texas, where the Lord is using him to do his mighty works. Following this development, the mantle of leadership fell on Pastor Olatunde Oyetola, who also handed over the leadership to Pastor Oluwafemi Bamiduro.
Pastor Emmanuel Oladimeji is currently the Pastor-in-Charge and has brought a dynamic and exemplary leadership to bear in taking the Youth Church to new heights.
