The National Christian Centre Abuja ( also known as THE NATIONAL ECUMENICAL CENTER ) is a symbolic structure for the Christian society in Nigeria. Located at the city center Just behind the Central Bank of Nigeria , it is the Home of CAN ( Christian Association of Nigeria ). All Christian denominations participate and perform various functions in this edifice
The church is built in a neo-gothic style and has several pivoted arches with a wide nave leading to the altar. The altar, placed at the center of the church completes a full rotation every ten minutes. A pipe organ is fitted to the right wing of the church, close to which sits the choir. Stained glass windows which employ a simple but attractive mix of yellow, green and red colors can be seen all around the church.
When not used for Christian ceremonies, it is open to the public. Guided tours are available for anyone interested in having a look. In some cases, members of the public are only allowed to tour the church when accompanied by a guide.
Most Rev. Daniel Chukwudumebi Okoh
Current President, Christian Association of Nigeria
