The Reformed Church of Christ in Nigeria was founded on November 15,
1973. It began when a group of believers from the Kuteb tribe left the
Ekklesiya Kristi a Sudan Laredin Benue. In 1993 the church changed her
name from EKAN Takum to the Reformed Church of Christ in Nigeria. They
have 60 congregations in 11 districts. The 55 pastors and
900 evangelists serve 277,000 members and 200,000 regular attenders
from the Ichen, Tiv, Jukuns, Mumuye, Jenjo, and Tigum tribes. The
churches meet twice a year in general synod. They have adopted the
Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, the Belgic Confession, and
the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds as their doctrinal standards.
