The discussion against polygamy within the fold is one of the issues clergies shy away from. This topic is avoided as much as possible in the fold.


Also, the church do not have any publicly known position against the act of polygamy by members as other Christian denominations do.

However, the Shepherd-in-Charge of Genesis Model Parish, Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe has publicly spoken against polygamy. In a rare case which is not common in the church, Ogundipe emphatically stated that his parish do not welcome the presence of polygamous men as members.





Ogundipe while ministering in Isheri-Idimu, venue of Genesis World Outreach mid week interdenominational service, stated that he is not allowed to marry more than one wife because he must be seen as a good example to members of his congregation, as no one must make members of his congregation uncomfortable in any form.
