Our mission is simple

To educate, equip and empower every person to shine as light in their world.

That's the E.E.E. mandate behind every service and every act of love we pour into Oldham and beyond. We're not here to fill seats — we're here to help people know Jesus, grow in the love of God, and shine.

Our story

One family
in Christ.

KEMIF — Kingdom Empowerment Ministries International Fellowship — is a warm, Spirit-filled church in Oldham, Greater Manchester for people of every nation and generation. Founded by Pastor Harry and Bishop Elizabeth Ibidapo and centred on Jesus and the love of God, we're a registered charity serving Oldham, Manchester and the surrounding communities of Chadderton and Failsworth.

We began with a simple conviction: people don't just need a service to attend, they need a family to belong to — and a faith they can understand, defend and live out. Breaking down cultural and ethnic barriers, we've become one family from many nations, gathered around one Lord.

"We exist to educate people in the gospel, equip them to stand, and empower them to change their world."

E
Educate

Understand the gospel deeply — Bible study, mentorship and our School of Ministry.

E
Equip

Be ready to stand — discipleship, counselling and leadership that builds people up.

E
Empower

Go and change your world — serving the community and walking out real purpose.

Come and worship

Heaven
touches earth.

Our gatherings are alive — heartfelt worship, the Word preached with clarity, and the presence of God you can feel. Whether you raise your hands or simply sit and soak it in, you're welcome here.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." — Psalm 150:6
