The National Christian Centre, also known as the National Ecumenical Centre, is a prominent non-denominational church located in Abuja, Nigeria's capital. Completed in 2005, the church showcases neo-Gothic architecture with notable features such as pivoted arches leading to a centrally placed altar that rotates every ten minutes. The structure also includes stained glass windows in hues of yellow, green, and red, and houses a pipe organ situated near the choir section. Serving as a hub for Christian ceremonies and events, the centre is open to the public for guided tours when not in use for religious activities.

    The National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja stands as a breathtaking symbol of Christian unity, a magnificent edifice where believers from diverse backgrounds gather in worship and fellowship. My recent visit to this iconic sanctuary was a truly uplifting experience, as I joined fellow believers from the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI) Nigeria in a gathering filled with faith, inspiration, and divine encounters. The architectural splendor of the Ecumenical Centre is awe-inspiring, with its towering spires, intricate stained-glass windows, and a serene ambiance that fosters deep reflection. As I stepped inside, I was enveloped by an atmosphere of reverence, where voices united in worship echoed through the grand hall, creating a symphony of devotion. The gathering of the FGBMFI was a remarkable convergence of faith-driven individuals, all passionate about spreading the Gospel and uplifting one another in both spiritual and professional pursuits. Testimonies of transformed lives, messages of hope, and moments of heartfelt prayer reinforced the power of God’s presence among us. It was a time of renewal, a reminder that beyond our individual journeys, we are part of a greater mission—to shine as beacons of light in our communities. Indeed, my time at the Ecumenical Centre was a deeply enriching and unforgettable experience.

    Building by itself beautiful, but bad experience with people that managing the place, I came just to take few photos and to see this church because I heard that it's a place that needs to see in Abuja. Came thru security, they said that there's a wedding in church, we said it's not a problem we just want to look around and to take few photos, we won't disturb wedding. So security let us In, we start walking around church, when someone came from the church and start asking the questions what country we came from and what are we doing here, I explained that everything, looks like it was not enough, he started asking me is it normal to come to someone's house without telling me and walk, I explained once again that we came thru security and security let us in, as well I asked him what does he means to his house? As much as I understand church is not someones personal house, reply was it is... And ask me can I just go to the church like that in my country, like to someone's house. I said church is not someones personal house, it's a house of God, and anyone are welcome to enter, anyway after long discussion and 10 minutes listening weird things that I can't just come if he is not aware and so on, we came when he started to rise a voice, to what I said don't even try to disrespect me, I'm talking to you politely and expecting from you the same. By the end of conversation I was already tired to listening his weird things, so I said this situation I'll put on reviews that everyone who is coming would know what to expect, and went to car park where's my driver was waiting, by walking I heard, ok you can walk here and look. So conclusion, nice building, really impressive, but very bad experience with management of this place, guy didn't manage to introduce himself, even when I asked him few times who we is. So be careful, and hopefully you won't get that bad experience.

    National Worship Center for Christians especially during the comommoration of National Events like Independence Day, Armed Forces Remembrance Day etc. However, there's church service every Sunday by 10 am. Individuals can also rent the halls for their personal events like weddings, service of songs etc. It's accessible, serene, confined and relatively conducive for a large congregation.
