THE HISTORY OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH BOLORUNDURO, IKUN EKITI
The
Seventh-day Adventist Church Bolorunduro, Ikun Ekiti began when Pastor (Dr.)
Joseph A. Ola, President West Nigeria Conference, visited our church at, Ikun
on August 9, 1991 and encouraged us to start another branch Sabbath School in
Ikun. The branch was officially
established on August 17, 1991 being the first Sabbath worship of the church
with the support of Pastor Dr. Joseph A. Ola and the Church Pastor, J.
Ojo. Elder C. A. Ogunbiyi was the Elder

first Sabbath School Service was conducted in Elder M. O. Oribolade’s house
being the temporary place of worship. Over sixty members attended the service
and a few of those who attended the service were Oba A. A. Awojobi, Chief Jacob
Ajayi, Elder D. A. Alabi, Alagba Jonathan Olajide and Madam Rebecca Dada, etc.
