Founder of Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has stirred reactions online following his comments criticizing churches that adopt what he described as “invented methods” to attract members.

According to Pastor Chris, many churches have shifted focus from preaching the Gospel to creating programs and attractions designed mainly to pull crowds.

He stressed that the church was never commissioned to entertain people but to transform lives through the message of Christ.
The cleric stated that when churches begin to depend heavily on trends, performances, or man-made systems to keep people engaged, the essence of true ministry can gradually be lost.
Pastor Chris further emphasized that the power of the Gospel itself is sufficient to draw people to God without the need for excessive innovations aimed purely at popularity or numerical growth.
