The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) was founded in 1985 following the transformative Greater Lagos Crusade organised by Rev Uma Ukpai.
[2][3] This event occurred within the broader context of the Pentecostal movement in Nigeria, which began to gain momentum in the early 1900s.
[13] PFN comprises church leaders and members from various regions and denominations across Nigeria, which helps in promoting unity and the collective interests of the Pentecostal community.
It believes in the universal sinfulness of mankind and emphasises the teachings of salvation though Jesus Christ and the concept of the triune God.
This code encompasses principles such as the sanctity of marriage among believers, Christian modesty in attire, brotherly tolerance, and unity in essential aspects of faith.
Some of these initiatives include the establishment of a TradeFair programme in South West Nigeria in 2007 to support small businesses, donation of grinding machines, motorcycles and generators for financial empowerment,[8] provision of educational materials in certain schools,[19] and sponsorship of about 200 Christian youths for training and skills acquisition at ISAC (International Skills Acquisition Center) in Nasarawa State in 2021.
[22] The organisation also stated that it would engage the Federal Government and other religious and interest groups to find lasting solutions to Nigeria’s security, political and socio-economic challenges.
