The church of Christ in Nigeria is a brainchild of the mission enterprise of the Sudan United Mission (SUM). Like the mustard seed described by Jesus in Matthew 13 verse 31-32, COCIN has, through concerned evangelistic effort, so grown to the extent that it has covered all the six geo-political zones of Nigeria, except one – the south-east zone.

Our Strategy:
To do the work of the gospel transparently as a team, with our own resources, being accountable to one’s leader, rebuking in love and encouraging one another.

Our Mission:
To truly worship the Lord God only and not any man, image or money, to preach his good news of wholistic salvation in Jesus Christ to unbelievers and to build the saints in the fear and knowledge of his word.

Working under the authority of a Nigerian church in a general hospital, I’ve done a lot of learning! Looking after the maternity ward and antenatal clinic, staying involved with outpatients, doing ultrasound scans and setting up a "Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV " program have not only kept me busy, but in touch with desperate and needy people: those Jesus loves. With American funding and a local teaching hospital we have just started being able to supply Antiretroviral drugs. I am constantly prepared to do what the church run hospital authorities ask me to do, steer away from "running the show," and support the medical staff in the hospital…will you?
