Higher Ground Baptist Church (HGBC), also known as the City of Refuge, was established by prophecy and prayer to prepare and equip individuals for their God-given purposes. Founded on January 21, 2007, by the University Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev’d Dr. Jide Abimbola and others, HGBC emphasizes discipleship, sound biblical teaching, and spiritual growth.
The church has positively impacted lives through programs like Photizo, Business and Investment Summit (BISUM), and the Influencers Investment Club (IIC), enabling members to thrive spiritually and professionally. It has celebrated numerous milestones, including over 700 graduates representing Christ in society, salvation decisions, and a thriving student membership.
HGBC's journey reflects resilience, transitioning from humble worship spaces to its own property under construction, with support from alumni and members. The church also expanded its mission by planting Tehillah Baptist Church in 2021. Today, HGBC continues to grow and anticipate greater things under God’s guidance.
We are people of dedication and professional reliability. We are committed to God so our plans can be established (Proverbs 16:3).
ust as we were commanded by God (Leviticus 19:2), we are holy people for He who called us is holy.
We strive to do the best we can. Our maker is an outstandingly supreme being, so, we strive to be like Him with the gift of the Holy Spirit.
As stated in the Scripture, God is Love and whoever abides in love abides in God. We are loving people for we know our God and we abide in Him.
Being uncompromisingly just and abiding by strong moral principles? Yes! That's what we are.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith
