Our History
The Celestial Church of Christ Washington Luli Parish has been in existence for over 25 years.
The Celestial Church of Christ Washington Luli Parish is part of the global mission of the Celestial Church of Christ, a church founded in 1947 by the prophet Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa in Porto-Novo in the Republic of Benin. The Celestial Church was established through divine revelation with a strong emphasis on prayer, holiness, prophecy, and spiritual healing through the power of God.
Washington Luli Parish was established to serve Celestial members and the broader community in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. From its early beginnings, the parish has grown into a place of worship where believers gather to seek God through prayer, praise, and faithful adherence to the teachings of the church. Over the years, the parish has remained committed to preserving the spiritual heritage of the Celestial Church while also serving as a welcoming spiritual home for all who desire to draw closer to God.
Today, Washington Luli Parish continues to stand as a place of prayer, worship, and spiritual guidance, committed to spreading the message of Jesus Christ and strengthening the faith of present and future generations.
