The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has scheduled its 2026 Holy Ghost Congress for Monday, December 7 to Sunday, December 13, at Redemption City on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State, Nigeria, according to the church’s published 2026 calendar. The calendar notes that dates can change, so check the RCCG’s official channels before travelling.
What it is
The Holy Ghost Congress is one of the largest Christian gatherings in the world, drawing worshippers from across Nigeria and beyond to the church’s camp, with many more following online. The first congress was held on 18 December 1998 in the Lekki area of Lagos, as an extension of the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service.
The week typically combines daytime teaching sessions with evening services led by the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, building to a Holy Ghost Night of prayer and worship late in the week and a closing thanksgiving service.
Last year’s congress ran in the second week of December under the theme “The God of All Flesh,” taken from Jeremiah 32:27. The 2026 theme has not yet been widely published.
Planning to attend
- Expect very heavy traffic on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway during congress week; allow extra time.
- Accommodation on and around the camp fills early.
- Services are usually streamed on the RCCG’s official YouTube channel and Dove Television.
