Welcome to Evangelical Ministry!
The evangelical department office of Christ Apostolic Church is traditionally designated for prophets and evangelists. The individual in this role leads the church’s evangelical efforts, serving as the chief prophet and evangelist. All church evangelists report to him. He organizes crusades and all other evangelical outreaches of the church, oversees other prophets and evangelists, and authorizes permits for evangelists to minister in any church assemblies.
The first general evangelist of the church was Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, who had been functioning as a prophet/evangelist since joining the Faith Tabernacle Group in 1928. He officially became the general evangelist when the church was incorporated in 1943 and held the office until his death in 1959. Prophet David Olulana Babajide, Babalola’s right-hand man, succeeded him in 1959 and served until his retirement in 1991. In 1993, Evangelist Jacob Oluwatuberu Alokan took over and retired in 2015. He was succeeded by Prophet Samuel Kayode Abiara in December 2006, who retired in 2017 at the age of 75. The current general evangelist, Prophet Hezekiah Oluboye Oladeji, assumed office in January 2018.
The significance of a finance department for Christ Apostolic Church is crucial in any organization, be it secular or spiritual. Selecting, managing, and administering it carefully is crucial for the meaningful growth of any establishment as it is viewed as its essential component.

Adequate funding is essential for the church to effectively fulfill the Great Commission and for ministers to carry out their work successfully. Christ acknowledged the significance of money, imparting different principles for its management. He also chose Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, to oversee the financial matters of His earthly ministry.
In the Old Testament, God clearly detailed different ways to finance the tabernacle and the temple. This is shown by the gifts and rituals God instructed the Israelites to provide at the temple for the priests to oversee.
