Establishment The Church was established on November 15, 1992 at Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria and was announced to the world via a press conference on that day. In an extra research on the name of the church, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), London programme on Africa made the world to understand that the word "Celica" has its origin in the Hebrew language which translated means Most Glorious. Hence the name of the church is translated as the Most Glorious Church of Christ from Heaven. The founder of the church is Emmanuel Adetunji Adeonigbagbe.
