MFM Ends All Programs By 8pm Nationwide Over Security Concerns
MFM mandates all church activities end by 8:00 pm nationwide, suspending vigils and overnight meetings until further notice. The directive from June 5, 2026 memo signed by Director Temitope A. Olawale affects all branches nationwide in response to rising security concerns across the country.
All services, meetings, and church activities must conclude no later than 8:00 pm immediately. Where necessary, vigils may be converted to evening prayer programs within the 8pm timeframe. The precautionary measures are mandatory for all MFM ministers, groups, and departments nationwide.
The church emphasizes these measures safeguard member lives amid current security realities, noting terrorists increasingly target religious gatherings nationwide. MFM is one of Nigeria's largest Pentecostal denominations with branches across the country. Will you adjust your worship schedule to accommodate these new time restrictions, and what alternative arrangements might work for your fellowship group?
