Christian Community Church International recently provided essential food supplies to more than 800 families in Surulere, Lagos, as part of a significant outreach initiative aimed at supporting the local poor and vulnerable.
This charitable effort was a highlight of the church’s annual Impact convention, a three-day event hosted at its Lagos headquarters under the theme Power of Honor. The convention featured diverse events, including Bible teachings, prophetic ministry, praise and worship nights, a forum for singles and married couples, free medical tests and multiple community-focused initiatives.
The Senior Pastor and Founder of Christian Community Church International, Pastor Solomon Omotoso Aroboto, emphasized that the outreach aligns with the church’s core mission to reflect Christ’s love within the community.

“While our church invests in long-term empowerment initiatives, we also believe in showing people the tangible care of the church, mirroring Jesus’ love and compassion,” Pastor Aroboto remarked.
Aroboto highlighted the church’s guiding principles of Christ, Community, Compassionate Change. “Our mission is to be a compassionate force, bringing change wherever we are by caring for people spiritually and practically.
“Each year, we adopt a school in Surulere as part of our commitment to community growth and support.” he further explained, “Christianity calls us to support, uplift, and transform lives—not just through prayer and fasting, but through real, hands-on support.”
Addressing the growing conversation around mental health, Aroboto pointed to the church’s focus on sharing the gospel’s message of peace, hope, and belonging, particularly in a time when such support is crucial for many.
Arobotu further stressed the enduring influence of spiritual values, highlighting that these teachings continue to shape moral structure in Nigeria, particularly during challenging times. “The gospel, and our reverence for God, is what keeps us grounded as a nation,” he shared.
“Living a life of faith requires a certain fear and reverence for God, which is not easy but is essential for a balanced and moral society.”
Arobotu posited that the importance of maintaining faith in an evolving world underscores that even as society advances, the timeless teachings of spirituality provide a steady foundation and a vital source of guidance.
