In Southern Nigeria, it will be RCCG.

Country-wide, I think it would be the Catholic church.

U cannot just say Catholic church, they also have denominations.. just like Pentecostal churches (redeem, MFM, etc). The church with highest amount of parishes is RCCG by a wide margin.

Jehovah's Witnesses are silently booming. A kingdom hall may serve 2 to 6 congregations. If they were to build kingdom halls based on the number of congregation i guess they will be noticably everywhere.
Most of these churches reign only for a while. Years back i recall Church of God Mission by Benson Idahosa but wherr is it now? Afterwards u had Deeper Life where is it now? Afterwards u had Winners with all their white buses littered here and there but where is it now? Redeemed well its their time and it is only in South West mainly in Lagos and Ogun state they have a foothold not in the east or north.
Most churches do not outlive their founders when they die.
I have been to all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria except North West and Europe and few parts of the Middle East as well U see the witnesses, their magazines.
You have witnesses in Pakistan and Palestine. So people who have not traveled out of the West cannot be sure to say RCCG alone.
The witnesses have even take preaching to a level most churches can NEVER accomplish. They print about 25 millions of EACH publications in over 700 languages and have a website in same number of languages www.jw.org.
They also have an online application JW LIBRARY which u can download on any device to access piblications in nearly 140 or more languages.

Keep quiet and stop spreading wrong information.Those churches you mentioned are still waxing stronger and spreading the gospel of God.

The churches with high number of business centers a.k.a parishes are majorly located or saturated down South. They are only concerned in building more churches in a street that is already saturated with 7 to 10 churches. You wonder if it is the same christian god the churches on this street worship.

To them it's a competition of who has the highest number of business centers/parishes or auditoriums down south. Meanwhile, up north in Borno, Kano, Bauchi e.t.c where there are suppose to take their evangelism to and market themselves aggresively they will have zero or little presence there.

U v said it all....meanwhile in d creek and crannies of Borno state u do stl fine catholic church dre

Op it's very obvious you have not traveled beyond south west. For your information the whole Celestial Church branch/branch in the entire South East and South South and even Northern States may not be up to 10.

what are you saying? Go check Celestial church directory or order of service. You will see nothing less than 200 parishes from the geo polital zones you mentioned. That is aside the fact that Celestial is now divided.

ikorodureporta:



are u a white- garment member?? I hav a question bt dnt want to create a new topic. So anybody can help me out:


Why are white-garment church members always converging @ waterside? Do they worship the water goddess?

May be you live in swampy area or you are probably judging from the few parishes you've seen.
Google is your friend. It may provide you with the answer.

RCCG churches everywhere and pastors everywhere. At a time I thought they had more churches than pastors. grin


Redeemed is everywhere and the one reason for that is the franchise thing.

Forget business centers, we are talking about Church that even the Federal Government is afraid to touch or play with.

I give it to the CATHOLIC CHURCH. The RCCG has a lot but I think they centered mostly in the urban areas. Possible to find a catholic church in the remotely located village in every LGA especially in the south east and north central.
Re: Which Church Has The Highest Number Of Parishes In Nigeria? by joeyswift(m): 11:58am On Mar 26, 2017
RCCG has good presence in the south west and south south,while in they have little presence in the core north and south east. Catholic Church has its presence virtually everywhere you go to,even in the troubled north east. I gave it to the Catholic Church because most of the other churches are more or less regional churches
