FULL LIFE CHRISTIAN CENTRE
Full Life Christian Centre was founded by Reverend Ntia Ime Ntia with a mandate of revival and restoration of the total man. He answered the call of God while he was in Northern Nigeria during the times Christians were being persecuted in the region. He started preaching the Gospel at an early age while living in Sokoto. During his undergraduate days at the University of Calabar, Cross River State, he got exposed to Lady Apostle Helen Ukpabio led Liberty Gospel Church. He served there as a pastor for some years before he was released to go and get married in 1997.
He left Calabar for Enugu where he joined his father-in-law’s (Late Archbishop Victor Onuigbo) Ministry, Victory Christian Mission. He served there as a pastor from 1997-2000 until he got a call to start his own ministry, Full Life Christian Centre in Akwa Ibom State.
The Church was founded on the 28th of June, 2000 in a small street called Ekpo Obot in Uyo, Akwa Ibom with about 13 members. The practical message of love, hope and faith with demonstration of the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit led to the tremendous growth of the Church.
In 2001, he had an encounter with Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre at a program in Calabar. Prior to this time, he had been listening to his tapes and was looking for a medium to see him. He then submitted for mentorship and spiritual covering over the Church. This was the beginning of a father and son relationship.
As the Church began to grow tremendously, she acquired a landed property at Nsikak Eduok Avenue where the headquarters, a 7,500 capacity auditorium named ‘Noah’s Ark Auditorium’ was to be built. The Noah’s Ark Auditorium, the largest Church Auditorium in the State was completed and dedicated in 2015 by Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche. The Church started with two Services in the 7,500 capacity auditorium on Sundays in order to accommodate the teeming number of worshippers. Within a year, the number of Services increased to three.
In 2016, the Church established her school, Full Life International School, with a mission to mould the next generation and train them to be God fearing, disciplined, hardworking, purpose driven, self motivated and reflective. The School has 2 sections; the Nursery and Primary Section called Full Life Nursery and Primary School located at Nsika Eduok Avenue, Uyo and the Secondary Section, Full Life Academy, located at Airport Road, Uyo.
The Church is also known for her numerous charitable projects through her Full Life Foundation.
Some of such projects include: the ongoing building of a free nursery and primary school in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, periodic medical outreaches, donation of classroom blocks, scholarships, empowerment programs and many others.
Full Life also reaches out to millions of people through her Fresh Outpouring TV Broadcast, an evangelical TV program and the Fresh Word Devotional.
Full Life Christian Centre has 27 branches; 3 outside Nigeria and 24 within Nigeria. The branches are spread over 10 states in Nigeria while 14 branches are within Akwa-Ibom, including the headquarters with membership of over 20,000.
Reverend Ntia Ntia is married to Pastor Mrs. Ukamaka Laurie Ntia and their union is blessed with three children.
Full Life Christian Centre holds 2 power packed Services every Sunday and Midweek Services on Wednesday. She also holds an annual program tagged ‘Gathering of Warriors.’
In a quest to further expand, the Church purchased over 20 hectares of land named ‘GLORY LAND’ at Airport Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom. On Sunday 21st August, 2022, plans were announced for a 50,000 capacity auditorium ‘CROWN OF GLORY’ to be built on the property which would make it one of the biggest Church auditoriums in the South-South region of Nigeria.
Other projects to be featured on the GLORY LAND include: Shining Stars University, Balm of Gilead Hospital, 2,500 car parking provisions, a central water treatment and reticulation system, a central sewage treatment plant, a waste recycling plant, a low-cost housing estate, among others. The groundbreaking ceremony for the mega project was carried out by Dr Pastor Paul Enenche on the 4th of February, 2024.
