Pastor Ghandi Olaoye of RCCG Jesus House Washington DC, stepped down?

Heard through the grapevine that something is definitely in the air in Jesus House Washington DC.
If I have heard it right, it is that the famous pastor of the Biggest Redeemed Church of God in USA, Nigerian Pastor Ghandi Olaoye has been told to step down. As to why we do not know.  We can only pray that the Lord will uphold the church in their season of storm and turbulence.


The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Jesus House, Washington DC, is one of the biggest Redeemed Churches in America and it has earned its respect in that part of the world. It is one of the over 15,000 churches under the RCCG of which Pastor Enoch Adeboye is the General Overseer.

The first fellowship of the church took place in 1995 at the District of Columbia with just few members. And in 15 years, the church has grown into a dynamic non-denominational, multi racial and multi-cultural international church where praise is steadfast and preaching is practical. Despite the fact that the Church is founded and pastored by a Nigerian, the church attracts worshippers based abroad from over 20 nations who have made Jesus House their home church. While there are hundreds of faithful volunteers who are committed to serving Christ in over 60 ministries. The church is situated in Philadelphia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland, a thriving community rich in ethnic and racial diversity.
