Our Story

A Legacy Worth Remembering

From humble beginnings to where we stand today — explore the milestones and leaders that shaped our church family.

Our Roots: The Sudan United Mission (1904)

The Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) traces its origins to 8th October 1904, when four pioneer missionaries of the Sudan United Mission — Dr. Herman Karl Wilhelm Kumm, Dr. Ambrose H. Bateman, Mr. John G. Burt, and Mr. J. Lowry Maxwell — arrived at Wase, in present-day Plateau State, to carry the gospel, education, and healthcare into the region.

What Our Church Family Says

Since joining this church family, I have grown so much in my walk with God. The teaching is sound, and the love among members is truly felt. This is home.

Sister Blessing A.

The Youth Ministry here changed my life. I found purpose, mentorship, and a community that pushed me closer to Christ during a season I really needed it.

Brother Timothy G.

The prayer ministry stood with my family during a very difficult season. I am forever grateful for the covering and support of this church.
