Pastor Oyekan Reginald Elevated to Bishop in London Ceremony
In a significant religious event, Pastor Oyekan Reginald, a respected elder of the Foursquare Church in Great Britain and long-serving Senior Pastor of Angelus Temple in London, was consecrated to the office of Bishop yesterday. This ceremony marks a pivotal moment in his over 40 years of dedicated ministry, where he has faithfully shepherded the Angelus Temple congregation with strong leadership and a heartfelt commitment to nurturing others.
A Legacy of Service and Leadership
Bishop Reginald, alongside his wife, now Associate Bishop Mrs Gloria Lola Reginald, has played a crucial role in shaping the spiritual lives of generations. Their ministry has not only produced numerous missionaries and Christian leaders who impact lives globally but has also significantly contributed to the Afro-Caribbean movement within the Foursquare Church in Great Britain. This has helped foster a vibrant and diverse expression of the church, enriching its community and outreach efforts.
Ceremony Officiated by Apostle Osaren Emokpae
The consecration was officiated by Apostle (Dr) Osaren Emokpae, a retired executive counsellor of Foursquare Church Nigeria and General Overseer/President Emeritus of Foursquare Church in Trinidad and Tobago, now serving as a global elder in the Body of Christ. During the service at Angelus Temple, he also ordained Mrs Lola Reginald as Associate Bishop and Elder Omotayo Aremu as Resident Pastor, adding to the event's significance.
Powerful Service with a Focus on God's Goodness
Ministering on the theme "The Goodness of God," Apostle Emokpae led a powerful and memorable service characterized by reflection, honour, and spiritual renewal. This theme resonated deeply with attendees, highlighting the foundational principles of faith that have guided Bishop Reginald's ministry over the decades.
Future Vision and Global Impact
In their new roles, Bishop Reginald Oyekan and Associate Bishop Lola Reginald are poised to focus on raising and equipping a new generation of ministers, with a strong emphasis on mission work across Europe and other parts of the world. Their vision remains clear: to advance the Kingdom of God and strengthen the Church in the United Kingdom and beyond, signaling a new chapter of influence, growth, and global impact.
This milestone not only honours a lifetime of dedicated service but also sets the stage for continued spiritual leadership and expansion, reinforcing the enduring legacy of the Reginalds within the Foursquare Church community.
