Learn MoreHow the Fellowship Began
After Rev. Dr. MO Ogbah and his wife relocated to the United States in 2012 following their pastoral ministry under Assemblies of God Nigeria, he envisioned a regular fellowship for elderly Christian believers.
The purpose was to bring mature believers together for fellowship, prayer, mutual encouragement, support, and spiritual activities.
The inaugural meeting was held in May 2021. The fellowship was initially called Elders at the Gate and was later renamed Elders & Senior Citizens at the Gate. Members now meet online through Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday.
