In Nigeria, creativity knows no bounds, especially when it comes to naming churches. While some stick to biblical roots, others dive headfirst into the bizarre, the hilarious, and the outright unexplainable.
From ministries that promise spiritual pest control to churches named after motor parks and helicopters, these church names are real — and 100% Nigerian. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
So buckle up and get ready to say “Amen?” with a side of “Wait, what?” Here are the 10 weirdest church names you’ll only find in Nigeria.
Helicopter of God Ministry
Location: Benin City (allegedly)
This church sounds less like a place of worship and more like a spiritual transport service. Is the Holy Spirit the pilot? Do members fly into praise?
The Devil Must Vomit My Money Ministry
Location: Delta State
Say what you want — the mission is very clear. This church isn’t just about salvation; it’s about economic recovery from demonic debt collectors.
Jehovah Sharp Sharp Church
Location: Anambra State
Need your blessings fast? This church promises instant results, no delays. Healing? Sharp. Promotion? Sharp. Wedding ring? Very sharp.
Laboratory Church of All Nations for All Testimonies
Location: Port Harcourt
We’re not sure if lab coats are required, but this name suggests miracles are being scientifically engineered. Possibly with Holy Spirit Bunsen burners.
Heaven’s Motor Park of Fire Ministry
Location: Lagos
We’re not exactly sure what happens at this “motor park,” but one thing’s certain: the “vehicle of destiny” might be double-parked in tongues of fire.
Run for Your Life International Church
Location: Abuja
Run from sin? From Satan? From traffic? This church sounds urgent — like you need to flee to salvation before the next bus leaves.
Power Pass Power Ministry
Location: Warri
Spiritual competition, anyone? Apparently, this church is here to prove that their power out-powers other powers. PHCN could never.
Fingers of God International
Location: Owerri
A bit unsettling if you visualize it literally — but hey, if you’re going to be touched by God, fingers are a good start.
Consume Them With Hot Fire Ministry
Location: Ibadan
No cool breeze here. This church believes in full-blast fire — probably for your enemies, your debt, or your village people.
Chukwudi and Sons Evangelical Ministries
Location: Unknown
This one sounds like a plumbing company — but no, it’s a church. A family business of salvation, passed down like a sacred trade.
Honorable Mentions (Yes, These Are Real Too):
No Weapon Fashioned Against Me Shall Prosper Ministries
Holiness Explosion Ministry
God’s Anointed Shampoo Church (rumored, unconfirmed)
Last Minute Miracle International Ministries
Why These Names Go Viral
They break the mold — literally.
They’re often rooted in real, raw Nigerian struggles (e.g., money, enemies, delay).
They make Christianity feel local, loud, and unapologetically Naija.
Only in Nigeria can you find churches that sound like action movies, spiritual combat zones, or chemical labs for deliverance. Love them or laugh at them, they’re part of what makes our religious culture unforgettable
