About Us
Our Story
RCCG House of Praise, Jesus Arena, was originally part of the RCCG House of Praise Parish family, and was later christened 'HOP Golden Arena' in 2011 under the leadership of Pastor Oluranti Orioke. The church was newly renamed in April 2024 by divine instruction. Jesus Arena is a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), a worldwide church established in 1952 by Pa Josiah Akindayomi and now led by the present General Overseer, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, alongside his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye.
Jesus Arena is a Christ-centred ministry founded on the word of God and with a vision to 'bring hope, equip lives and affect destinies'. At Jesus Arena we believe that every life is important to God and there is no story that God cannot change and use for His glory.
