About

Birth and Growth

The parish by the grace of God has encountered tremendous and numerous miracles within the community it gladly serves. With a committed work force led by the Almighty God and the Comforter Holy Spirit, the parish so far has been a real and distinct blessing to the community through a series of her events and activities. Without doubt to the name “Covenant Restoration”, God has restored several of His children to His fold through this church. We are popularly known as “CRA-Nottingham” within the East Midlands region in England, UK. The gracious Lord has been increasing the church both physically and spiritually.

Anointed Leadership

CRA-Nottingham is currently shepherded by Pastor Vincent TokunboIbikunle along with the visionary support of Pastor (Mrs.) Ann Ibikunle. They are wholeheartedly supported by committed leaders in the church who help in parish governance as well as its implementation of God’s vision to reach out to the communities, neighbourhood and the city of Nottingham at large. The Church has been instrumental in raising several young leaders in ministry and has been particularly instrumental in the development of a sister church in St. Ann’s Nottingham and Fountain of Life Bestwood.

Here’s a video of how we started
