About us

Christ Ekklesia Institute (CEI) was inspired by ONE Body Life, San Francisco. It is created to further the vision, message and practice of ONEness among saints in Nigeria and Africa.

We are a family. We care deeply for one another, stand with one another, pray for one another, sacrifice for one another and celebrate one another. This bonding remains among our ambassadors. Christ’s love is the spirit that binds us and peace is the culture in this family.
