A Brief History of DCC Jos
The roots of EYN DCC Jos trace back to classes at TCNN, where Rev. Dr. Mamadu Meshelbila, a denominational instructor, taught Brethren beliefs and practices. A suggestion emerged to establish an EYN church in Jos to give students deeper exposure to church traditions.
The first DCC Secretary posted to Jos was Rev. Dr. YC Mabaya, who now serves as the current EYN President. Today, the church has grown to over 2,000 members across the Plateau, with 10 LCCs, several LCBs, and mission houses spread across 15 of the 17 local government areas of the state.
Special Moments
A heartfelt prayer for DCC Jos was offered by Mrs. Abigail Mabaya, asking for God’s grace and continued success.
A portrait of the EYN President was presented to him by a talented member of the Boys’ Brigade, EYN LCC Mado.
The program concluded with closing remarks from Rev. Yohanna Apagu Mdurvwa, DCC Secretary, and a final prayer by Rev. Yunana Tizhe.
Throughout the event, the atmosphere was enriched with songs, music ministrations, and joyful fellowship, making the anniversary a truly memorable occasion.
To God be the glory. Greater Height to EYN DCC Jos.
