ENGLISH ASSEMBLY
The English Assembly of C A C Faith Palace started in 2015. It was birthed from the urge of our youth who wanted an English service and also from the need to adequately attend to our non-Yoruba speaking members, and majorly by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
This has led to us having members from other tribes apart from the Yoruba tribe, worshiping with us at the English session.
The assembly of the church has been growing wonderfully to the glory of God.
