Our Pastors

Rev. Francis Onyedikachi Udeh, a purpose-driven and globally recognized thought leader, is an iconoclast with a remarkable track record for achieving results. With a background in laboratory science, majoring in histopathology from Ebonyi State University Abakaliki, and certification as a pastor from the Assemblies of God School of Divinity in Umuahia, he dedicated 13 years to pastoral service in the Assemblies of God, followed by 9 years at the helm of the Assemblies of God Worship Centre in Onitsha.

Blessed with a devoted wife, Pastor Ifesinachi Udeh, and two daughters, Kasinma and Kamara, Rev. Udeh’s ministry was nurtured under the guidance of his spiritual father, Prof. Osisiogu of Open Family Church. On May 15, 2022, he initiated the global mandate of “LOVE CITY GOSPEL CENTRE,” which officially inaugurated on May 23, 2022, and now boasts four expressions in Onitsha, Nsugbe, Awada, and Omife, with 12 pastors and a thriving membership.

Demonstrating his belief in the potential of others, on May 7, 2023, Rev. Udeh stepped down as the Lead Pastor of Lovecity Onitsha Expression, handing over the reins to Pastor Buchi Eze and Minister Divine Eze. His commitment to excellence, speed, wisdom, and God’s grace is evident in the ministry’s growth and impact.

As a visionary leader and pastor, Rev. Udeh emphasizes the importance of teaching the word of God. Under his leadership, regular midweek services evolved into Discipleship Classes across all expressions, fostering spiritual maturity among members and empowering them to disciple others.

Rev. Francis Udeh Jnr is celebrated as a trailblazer, a repository of knowledge, and a global influencer who has left an indelible mark on individuals and communities. His legacy is one of wisdom personified, impacting lives and raising global giants.
