About Us

Raising Leaders. Transforming Lives. Impacting Generations.

Who We Are

Dominion City is more than a church — we are a family of authentic believers, united by a shared faith in Jesus Christ and a common desire to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel. We are a diverse, Spirit-filled community made up of people from every walk of life — students, professionals, entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders — all joined together by the love of God and a commitment to His Word.

Founded in 1996 under the leadership of Pastor David Ogbueli, Dominion City began as a small gathering of six people in a sitting room at #2 Marcus Garvey Street, New Haven, Enugu. What started in a living room has since grown into one of the most dynamic and far-reaching ministries in Africa and beyond. Today, the church has spread to over 750 chapters across Nigeria and approximately 60 branches scattered across cities in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the United States of America.

We are not just a congregation that meets on Sundays — we are a people on mission. We engage in vibrant worship, intentional discipleship, and community transformation. Our doors are open to all, and in our house, you will always find a place to belong.

DR DAVID OGBUELI

Pastor Chukwudi David Ogbueli was born on 28th April, 1968, in Alor, Anambra State, Nigeria. He began ministry at age 12, pioneering campus fellowships that eventually gave birth to Dominion City Worldwide.

He is the founder of New Covenant Family Ministries, Senior Pastor of Dominion City International, and President of the Dominion Leadership Institute. A Management and Government Consultant, widely read author, and social reformer, he speaks in organizations, government houses, embassies, and churches across the globe.

He is also the President of the Golden Heart Foundation, an NGO focused on youth empowerment, leadership education, and entrepreneurial development. He is married to Pastor Sarah Ogbueli and they are blessed with four children.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a community of authentic believers and to witness a city transformed by the life-changing reality of the Gospel as people come to know Jesus. We are committed to raising leaders who carry the culture of the Kingdom into every sphere of society — government, business, education, media, arts, and family.

Our Mission

Dominion City is a body of believers with a shared vision: raising leaders who transform society. Our mission is to impact our communities by shaping individuals to embody Christian values. We are devoted to passionately proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples who go on to make disciples — in Nigeria and to the ends of the earth.

Our Core Values

We are a praying, soul-winning, and Spirit-filled church committed to raising leaders who transform society. We cultivate a culture of unity, faithful service, and supernatural living — boldly advancing the Kingdom of God through Apostolic and Prophetic anointing into every sphere of life.

Our Core Beliefs

The Holy Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is creator of all things. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human, crucified for our sins and raised from the dead. The Holy Spirit indwells every believer, empowering them for holy living and effective service.

The Authority of Scripture

We believe the Bible — both Old and New Testaments — is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. Scripture is the final standard for all matters of faith and conduct, and every decision we make as a church is guided by its truth.

Salvation Through Jesus Christ Alone

We believe every human being is born in sin and in need of a Saviour. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made full atonement for humanity. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We also believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to every believer.
