Our Heritage

A living church rooted in generations of faith

St John's Church, Aroloya stands among the oldest Anglican congregations on Lagos Island. From our founding in 1852, we have gathered to worship God, to grow in discipleship, and to serve our community with compassion.

Beneath our stained-glass windows and beside the brass eagle lectern, worshippers across generations have found a spiritual home. Today that same welcome extends to you and your family.
