The future of the Church is secure with the existence of youths who are God fearing and have taken it up to fellowship together in spirit and in truth. This declaration was made at the final programme of Area H Youth Organisation in Lagos State by Superior Evangelist M.G Mekuleyi while he was delivering his welcome speech at the occasion.

In his speech, Mekuleyi extolled the vision of the General Youth Coordinator of the church, Senior Evangelist S.O Odeyemi for initiating a programme for the youths of the church which have assisted the youths to remain in the fold.

"In the past most of our youths go to other churches. Today the case is different. There is no one to deceive them again. Many people condemned Professor Odeyemi, saying he want to take over Celestial Church of Christ" with his youth activities." Mekuleyi mentioned.

The Shepherd in Charge of Egbe 1 Parish in Ikotun Egbe area of Lagos, thank God that Odeyemi was not discouraged with the statements made by those who criticized him, stating that "If he (Odeyemi) had not fight that battle, it will be a different occasion, as most of our youths would have gone to another church.

"Odeyemi's opinion was that the Church need to develop the youth. They are the future of the church."
