The Early Days of Ministry
AVSE Tonade & Mother Celestial Felicia Tonade
Assistant Venerable Superior Evangelist Samuel Tonade
Shepherd-in-Charge, CCC Indiana Cathedral
A devoted servant of God, called, prepared, and anointed to lead the flock of Christ with humility, discipline, and unwavering dedication.
Since arriving in the United States, he has faithfully served God while also building a distinguished professional career as an accountant. He is a proud graduate of Butler University and a highly respected Certified Public Accountant, known for integrity and excellence in his field.
Even with the demands of his profession, Evangelist Tonade's heart has always remained deeply rooted in the vineyard of the Celestial Church of Christ. His service extends across parish, regional, and national levels within CCC USA, where his contributions have strengthened administration, unity, and spiritual growth across the mission.
He was posted to CCC Indianapolis Parish in its early stages - a small but spiritually vibrant congregation. Through his leadership, prayerfulness, and unwavering commitment to CCC doctrine, the parish experienced remarkable expansion. By the grace of God, it grew into a flourishing cathedral, now known as Celestial Church of Christ Indiana Cathedral.
Standing faithfully by his side is his beloved wife, Mother Celestial Felicia Tonade - a kind, loving, gracious woman of God who embodies warmth, humility, and the true heart of service. She is a pillar of encouragement, a supporter of women and families, and a consistent source of godly wisdom.
"Together, AVSE Samuel Tonade and Mother Celestial Felicia Tonade form a powerful team, shepherding the people of God with love, unity, and unwavering obedience to the calling of Christ."
