About Us

Christ Messiah Ministry(CMM)

Christ Messiah Ministry (CMM) started in 1992 as an evangelical ministry ordained by God as a prophetic voice to Christian families, starting with the single-parents and the singles, and then the whole family unit. Because we were not called to be a local church, we were able to go about the ministry through organising seminars at different locations. Also, we were receiving invitations to minister in churches and bible colleges. It was great and God opened many doors to us and also drew many people to our seminars. In 1995, God added the Pastoral Ministry to us, which led to the birth of Christ the Messiah Church in 2003.

The aims of our church are:

  • To advance the Christian faith. Build a community of people that grow to become true disciples, helping them to reach their full potentials in Christ Jesus, through sound balanced, unadulterated biblical teaching.
  • To help believers find and develop their gifts and talents for use in the body of Christ and the community.
  • To pursue with commitment and zeal the work of witnessing and soul winning.
  • To reach out to Christian families as a prophetic voice of God through seminars, invitation from churches, writing of books, etc.
  • To reach out to the community and help in curbing crime, drug-abuse etc.

History

Christ the Messiah Church was established in September 2003 at the Swaythling Neighbourhood Centre, Southampton and this is where we currently have our sunday praise and worship service.

At first, we had space in the centre for our sunday praise and worship services only, while other weekly activities such as Bible-Study and Prayer Meetings were held from house to house.

Although we are still at the Swaythling Neighbourhood Centre but we have now acquired in the centre a church office for our pastor and a meeting hall for our weekly activities to the glory of God.

The church is experiencing new strength, new growth and great dimension of power, and the beauty and love of God.

Our focus is to see stable, dependable individual Christians whose faith can be tested with fire and will not burnt but be refined and grow into the likeness of Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Pastoral Team

Pastor Charles Ajai-Ajagbe

Pastor Charles Oluwole Ajai-Ajagbe is the Senior Pastor of Christ the Messiah Church and Ministry.

He is a full-time Pastor and known for this saying – “You can add all the degrees you have acquired in this world to your profile, but it means nothing and cannot save a soul. But the degree to which God’s anointing is in your life is the most essential qualification for the work of the Ministry.”

A committed minister of God, especially in family-related matters, as this was his first calling and commission by God.
There are testimonies of God’s intervention in many homes and relationships that God have done through him and continues to do.

We believe that God has endowed him with great wisdom to teach and to counsel. He is caring, compassionate and loving. He is a father and a grandfather.
