an introduction
It all started in 2014, our pastor, Omawumi Michael Efueye had received instructions to start a new gathering together of believers and to name it Chapel of LIFE (COL). Starting with 2 weeks of prayers in late October of the same year, COL had its inaugural service on the first Sunday of November 2014.
Since then COL has grown into a community of Christ-loving believers who dare to believe that we can leave our footprints firmly imprinted on the sands of time through reflecting Christ's love changing, transforming and imparting life to those we come across one life at a time.
A people with a passion for Christ. A family integrated in God's Love. A fellowship of like-minded folks with a common desire to effect real change in the world. We are a church without walls
Our intention, calling and goal, is to help our members build multi-dimensional relationships with three distinct focuses:
To inspire members to build relationships with God. To empower the saints to relationally engage with our local community
To create a space for rich relationships in our local church
We are a community with the audacity to believe that we can leave our footprints in the sands of time.
Welcome to the Chapel of Life!!!
Chapel of Life is a Church committed to building a community of Christians with the determination to reflect Christ in all we do, the enablement to exercise dominion and the desire to impart the Life of Christ and shine His Light in all places, to all people, at all times.
We believe that - Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came in the flesh to die for our redemption.
We believe that - That Jesus Christ died for us and paid the penalty for our sins thus securing for us eternal life.
We believe that - That there is no other way by which men may be saved other than through faith in Jesus.

Senior Pastors - COL
Pastor Omawumi and his wife Carol, fondly and affectionately nicknamed Pastor O and Mummy O by members of the Chapel of Life, share a passion for building healthy and godly families as desired by God. They have a natural compassion for mentoring, teaching, encouraging and are vocal advocates for fairness and justice.
Pastor O is a charismatic & dynamic speaker who is as animated in front of a large audience as he is in a one-to-one conversation. Mummy O on the other hand, with her discerning personality, has a preference for the intimacy of smaller groups. Together, their ministry brings a rich perspective of God's truth not just articulated but explicitly expressed through a 'lived-experience'.
Mummy O is a reflective practitioner in every sense of the word and having quality quiet time is a vital part of her daily routine, as is taking time out to be by herself for reflection. A trained radiographer with about two decades of experience, she re-trained as a sonographer in the late 90's and worked for the NHS. Her empathetic disposition, commitment to diligence and passion for knowledge has also led her on a quest to re-train as a Counsellor.
Omawumi and Carol have been married for over thirty years. They have two children (Dede and Marcel) and and two grandchildren. Their hobbies include travelling and lounging together in front of the TV watching comedies.
Families & Relationships
Pastors Victor and Abiola Odunlami are fervent intercessors who have shared a passion for empowering the young through encouraging strong educational values and vocational training. In charge of families and relationships, this delightful couple, bring their unique take on the gospel, fuelled with God's humility and a heart that believes that there is an answer to all things in God's word.
Victor and Biola have been married for 19 years and have two teenage sons (Demilade and Oludara). This lovely couple also share a dislike for injustice and are active advocates for justice and equity.
