The convocation ceremony was held at the school’s permanent site, CAC Convention Ground, Imose-area, Ilesa, Osun state.





Out of the 313 graduands, eight students graduated with Second Class Upper in the degree programme, while one passed in the second class lower division. In the Diploma programme, 27 students graduated with Upper Credit, 57 with Lower Credit and seven with merit. Also in the Certificate programme, 23 students graduated with Upper Credit, 134 students with Lower Credit and 56 students with merit.



While preaching on topic “Cost of Discipleship,” the General Secretary of CAC Worldwide, Pastor E. E. Mapur appreciated God of CAC for strength, expansion and growth experienced on daily basis in the mission, specifically Babajide School of Prophets and Evangelists, Ilesa and all over CACTS.




The General Secretary commended the efforts of the leadership of the school, all faculty members, students and the graduands.



“Jesus called people from nothing not only to be His disciples, but to be partners with Him in the course of His redemptive mission to the whole world. Count it a joy, therefore, that you received this glorious call into the ministry. As those who have been called before did not fail Him, so also do not fail Him. He has called you to be role models like Joseph, Peter, Joseph Ayo Babalola, Isaac Akinyele and a host of other saints triumphant,” Pastor Mapur said.




The Provost of the school, Pastor Stephen O.A. Afolabi while delivering ‘Provost’s Address’ said that the parents and guardians of the graduands should be praised for their positive efforts that brought their wards to this point of achievement.



According to him, CAC Theological Seminary, Ile-Ife and its satellite campuses of which Ilesa campus is one, are modern time and relevant theological institutions that offer useful courses and programmes for human development both spiritually, mentally, morally, economically, academically and psychologically.



“We are at this point appreciating the contribution of the immediate past governing council members headed by Pastor G.O. Babatola, while also at this juncture congratulating and appreciating the contribution of the newly inaugurated Governing Council members headed by Pastor E. S. Famuyide for the success achieved today. You shall know no failure in life in Jesus’ name. Also mention cannot but be made of the immense contribution to the success of today by the Campus Management Committee headed by Pastor T.O. Ajayi. All my esteemed colleagues and staff headed by Pastor (Dr.) A. A. Abayomi are enthusiastically and warmly appreciated for their pro-active and profound efforts which culminated in all that made today a success,” the Provost said.



He thanked the church authority for the great stride taken in the effective discharge of administration by the establishment of regions and the elevation of capable hands to head the regions.



While delivering the Convocation Speech, the Coordinator, CAC Babajide School of Prophets and Evangelists, Pastor (Dr.) A. A. Abayomi said the degree students are graduating with specialization from the campus.



He noted that they are combining academics with spirituality in Bachelor of Evangelism, Prophetism and Missions.



The Coordinator also said that all graduands irrespective of their area of specialization have demonstrated and imbibed the culture of stewardship, servanthood, humility and contentment, urging them to continue in these and run away from worldliness.

The Chairman of CAC Theological Seminary Governing Council, Pastor E. S. Famuyide while delivering his address charged the graduands to exhibit the act of digging the bible deeper and living holy life.


He also implored the graduands to preach the gospel without adulteration nor sentiment and pray like the apostles and founding fathers of CAC Worldwide.



“I commend the efforts of the Campus Management Committee under the chairmanship of Pastor (Dr.) T. O. Ajayi and the Coordinator of this campus, Pastor (Dr.) A. A. Abayomi and his hardworking members of staff, both teaching and non teaching. I also appreciate the committed and dedicated efforts of the students populace in working in obedience with the state of the campus in turning this wilderness to Babajide City,” Pastor Famuyide said.
