RCCG IN TEXAS
RCCG came to Texas in
1995. Today, there are several dozen
parishes of RCCG in Texas. Restoration
Chapel started on a modest note at the end
of 1996. It later moved its meeting place
to a hotel. It then moved to a rental space
located on a strip mall on Bissonnet Street,
Houston in September 1997 with only 11
adults. The Church was formally inaugurated
by Pastor E A Adeboye, in May 1998.
The rented space became
too small for the church due to rapid
growth. God being so good, He gave the
ministry a new property of about 8 Acres on
which the current church auditoriums are
standing on
13406 Beechnut Street, Houston.
Perhaps it is germane to
note that the Church went into Ernest
Contract to acquire the land when it was
just two years old. To some at that time,
the proposal was either presumptuous at
worst or ambitious at best. But since the
leadership of the Mission is committed to
faith it is hardly surprising that the
membership is imbued with faith in an
unchanging God. The church moved into this
property on 25th, December 2000. The
phenomenal growth which the church began
experiencing continued until the auditorium
became grossly inadequate hence the need for
a bigger space. A new 1500-seater, ultra
modern auditorium was completed early in
2006, and was formally dedicated by Pastor
Enoch Adeboye, just before the start of the
2006 North America convention of RCCG, which
took place in Houston.
