The first worship service was held in the Chapel on December 15, 1957 with Dr. I. N. Patterson, then General Secretary of the Nigerian Baptist Convention who preached the first message. The Sunday school that opened the Chapel that morning had 55 pupils in attendance with Mrs. W. W. Logan as Superintendent. Among other people who helped in early age of the Chapel was Rev. C. F. Eaglesfield as first Pastor. But since his leave could not allow him to start, Rev. L. G. Lane then began the Chapel’s pastorate. The bulk of the finance for the Chapel project was borne by the Nigerian Mission of the Southern Baptists Foreign Mission Board, USA.
