About Our Church


Word Pasture Church is a ministry with a mandate to provide God’s word for “life and godliness” and share His goodness to peoples of all nations. There is an emphasis on getting people to agree with God for the fulfillment of their God-ordained destinies. “God is not just interested in your godliness, He is interested in your life also. The Bible shows us so”.

Founded in 18th October 2009 in Benin city, Nigeria, the ministry has grown to have multiple locations in Edo and Lagos states, with online platforms on Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter and our website www.wordpasture.org.

The establishment of multiple churches was upon a specific word given to our Senior Pastor and founder Dr. ‘Riel Osabuohien in 2014 from Acts 13:47 – For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.’

At Word Pasture Church, we believe that the greatest tool of change of any individual is God’s word. We are a family indeed, reaching out with a personal touch to every member of the Body. Each one is nurtured, edified and empowered to reach out in their sphere of influence with the light of the Gospel and win souls to the Lord. Our Care group system ensures accountability, building and care for every member while they are encouraged to maximise their lives for the glory of Christ till He returns.

Welcome to a family of greatness!
