Pastor Funke Felix Adejumo joins a growing list of trailblazing female Bishops in Nigeria. Among her predecessors is the late Archbishop (Mrs.) Oluremi Ayotunde Obembe, who made history as one of the first female Bishops in the country. Another notable name is Bishop Bola Odeleke, a pioneer in breaking gender barriers within Nigeria’s ecclesiastical community. These women, alongside others, have paved the way for greater inclusivity in church leadership.
Pastor Adejumo is a renowned preacher, author, and conference speaker, celebrated for her impactful teachings on women’s empowerment, marriage, and leadership. As the president of the Funke Felix Adejumo Foundation, she has championed initiatives that support and mentor women, youth, and vulnerable groups. Her dynamic ministry addresses real-life issues with biblical principles, inspiring many to fulfill their God-given destinies.
In addition to her new role, Pastor Funke remains a pillar of support in the ministry she shares with her husband, Bishop Felix Adejumo, founder of Agape Christian Ministries. The couple has built a reputation for their commitment to ministry, philanthropy, and community development. Pastor Funke’s influence extends beyond the pulpit, with significant contributions to education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.
Her ordination is viewed as a testament to the evolving recognition of women’s roles in church leadership in Nigeria, inspiring many women to embrace their potential in ministry and beyond.
