Is Ayo Babalola The Founder Of CAC Church? by UncleAyo: 4:45pm On Jul 02, 2023
I once read a recorded history of the Christ Apostelic Church where Ayo Babalola is not actually the founder. Some wanted to begin an argument with me about this topic. (Although I'm not interested in the argument)

But for education purposes, using history and recorded fact, who is the founder of CAC church?

Here is what I found on wikipedia:

Joseph Ayo Babalola (25 April 1904 – 26 July 1959) was a Nigerian Christian minister and the leader of the Christ Apostolic Church, popularly called CAC in Nigeria. His followers claimed that he had healing powers.

 In 1931 Faith Tabernacle affiliated with The Apostolic Church with general headquarters in the United Kingdom (not British Apostolic Church, as erroneously stated by some authors). Following a schism in The Apostolic Church around 1940, Babalola went with a group led by Pastors J.B. Akinyele and D.O. Odubanjo to form an independent church, Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), where he continued his healing and evangelism until his death.

The CAC regards Babalola as an apostle, although he was not ordained into that office. A CAC retreat center was built at Ipo Arakeji, Osun State where Babalola was called in 1928. However, Babalola was not the sole founder of CAC as many claim, but one of three founders.

The Christ Apostolic Church outlived Babalola and grew rapidly, with many churches under the CAC name. Each church has a specific branch name. Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU) a private Nigerian university is located in Ipo Arakeji and Ikeji-Arakeji. Two neighbouring communities in Osun State, established by the Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide are named after him, located where he claimed he was called by God in 1928.
