Brief History of Dominion Christian Centre

DCC started in March 1999, when God called Pastor Yinka Popoola with three basic mandates which formed the foundation of the vision and mission of the church. The three mandates are:
 

Firstly, to go and set the captives free in the name of Jesus (Matt. 16:19; Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18).
 

Secondly, that Pastor Yinka was being sent out as a reaper on the field of life in Britain ( John 4:34-38)
 

Thirdly, to revive the people of God by teaching them to pray prophetically using God’s word and subsequently revive the land by the power of the Holy Ghost. (1 Sam.3:11; Isa. 41:18-19.) 
 

To the glory of God, the ministry has flourished with signs and wonders following. Lives have truly been transformed with various types of healings and miracles and an incise delivery of the word of God that keeps growing daily. The ministry has touched so many lives both in Britain and around the world via systematic media outreaches. The “Walking in Dominion TV program” is a favourite watch and the Walking in dominion articles and press releases in various international magazines has produced a tremendous follower ship around the world.

The Journey So Far

1999

We started from Keir Hardie Methodist Church in Canning Town, London E16. The church was inaugurated there and we were in Canning Town for 2 years. The church started with about 8 members and grew in this small church hall until persecution arose because of our growth and thereby God instructed us to move out of the place. This was confirmed by two invited ministers who came to minister to us shortly after the instruction was given.

 

2001

We moved to a school hall in April 2001, precisely St Mary’s School in Plaistow, London E13. We were there for just 8 months before moving out due to the closure of the school hall for Christmas/New Year Break.

 

2002

We moved in to a small shop on Hermit Road in Canning Town, London E16. We were there for 18 months until we grew to a point when we started having 2 services every Sunday.

 

2003

We moved in to Custom House Hotel, Victoria Dock, London E16. We were there for 10 months until we grew to a point when we started having two services every Sunday. We moved from the hotel when car parking became a problem. We then applied for change of use planning for the First and second floor of Canning Town Kwik Save building. This application was refused.

 

2004

It was during this time that the Lord spoke to Pastor Yinka Popoola to ‘Go to Barking’. He decided to drive through the area to find out if he would find a Hall space. He couldn’t find any Hall space. A few days in the church board meeting, someone just mentioned in passing that there was a Hall available to rent in Barking. That was how Dominion Christian Centre moved to the first floor, 6 Thames Road.

 

2005

The Church was able to secure a lease of the entire first floor. The church grew until we started to have two services. It was at this point, that the Pastor approached the landlord for the two warehouses on the ground floor. This proposal was turned down by the landlord.

 

2006/2007

We continued to pray for wisdom and favour. One day as the Pastor was approaching the building, the holy spirit spoke to the pastor to go once more to find out if the landlord could give us more space on the first floor. To the pastor’s surprise the landlord asked whether we were still interested in the two warehouses on the ground floor that we asked for the previous year. The two warehouses were refurbished and the building was dedicated to the glory of God on the 7th July 2007.
