NOVA, ADO CHURCH


 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN NOVA, 
ADO- EKITI
          The idea to establish a Branch Sabbath School at Nova area of Ado-Ekiti came up as a result of the rapid growth in the membership of Opopogboro Church and the long distance from that area to Opopogboro.
          In September 2008, the church Board of Opopogboro under the chairmanship of Pastor David Dada in one of its meetings voted and approved a Branch Sabbath School for NOVA. The first worship took place on October 4th, 2008 under a rented canopy at the premises of Elder and Mrs. Kunle Adesina. There were twenty-five members (fifteen adults and ten children) in attendance that day. Subsequent worship services continued in the Adesina’s premises until a lamb shelter that could take about 60 people was erected.
          On the 20th of June, 2009, the branch Sabbath School was formally inaugurated by Pastor E. O. Adeniyi. In October, 2009, 2 plots of land were purchased for one million naira (1,000,000.00) as the permanent site. Pastor E. A. Adeleye (the Conference President) laid the foundation of the church auditorium on April 25th, 2010 while church services continued under the lamb shelter until December, 2010 when the church relocated to the Church building under construction.
          The church was organized on May 28th, 2011 with a membership of 65.
