A Wonderous Lineage

The Man of God, Reverend Dr. Chris Oyakhilome, is the spiritual father to millions of followers.  Christ Embassy is a huge Christian family spreading messages of love, hope, and encouragement. Like all supportive families, they are close in many ways. There are some 145 branches of Christ Embassy on five continents. The question is often asked, “Who are the members of the family of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome?”

The Most Wonderful Parents

His father, Elder T.E Oyakhilome, was one of the pioneers of the Assemblies of God Church in Benin City. He was indeed an inspiration to his firstborn son, Pastor Chris. Growing up in a household that espouses a pure Christian message is a true blessing.

We understand the pride his late father must have felt watching his firstborn son spread the Gospel message that Jesus Christ is our Savior. His father’s work must have undoubtedly had a great impact on the young Chris Oyakhilome. He went on his first crusade at the youthful age of nine.

The commandment to honor your parents is a promise that Chris Oyakhilome has fulfilled. From leading prayer groups at university to delivering sermons to millions, Pastor Chris has honored his father in the spirit of a devout and true Christian.

Pastor Chris honored his mother Angelina when she turned 80 with a celebration in Benin.

Described as the “quintessential matriarch,” she is revered and adored for her fairness and grace. She is a loving mother, grandmother, and mother-in-law who has imprinted her divine grace on her son.

Super Siblings

Tim Oyakhilome and Angelina had two other children. Pastor Chris’s brother Ken is known respectfully as Reverend Ken. He has imparted much wisdom and changed many lives as an esteemed Pastor of Christ Embassy’s Houston, Texas branch. He is also a member of Christ Embassy Central Executive Council.

Pastor Chris’s sister, Katty Worghiren, is the director of the LoveWorld Music & Arts Ministry (LMAM). She started out as an impressive member of the choir. Her songwriting talent has led to some of the most famous LoveWorld songs. She wrote the anthem “I Believe In Nigeria”.

On composing the final and poignant paragraph of the Believers LoveWorld Anthem, Katty adds this message to show the importance of the Christian family:

“Believer’s LoveWorld we are one big family
