OUR PASTORS

Pastor Ven Ogbebor has been in the ministry for a number of years. He gave his life to Christ in one of his annual New Year’s Eve service and never looked back. He grew spiritually through the youth ministry of Church of God Mission International, Ekehuan Branch in Benin City, Nigeria where he later became the Youth Zonal Coordinator and the State Youth Deputy Coordinator in charge of over one hundred branches, a position he held before moving to the United States in December 2004. He joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God Dominion Center, Cincinnati in 2006 where he served God in the best ways he knows. In 2013, he accepted the call to leadership in the capacity he has always run away from – a Pastor, to move the work of God at RCCG Dominion Center, Dayton forward.

Pastor Ven has worked as a Correction Officer, a Social Worker, and a nurse. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Law from the University of Benin, Nigeria; a Master’s degree in Law from Indiana University, Robert H. McKinney School of Law, Indiana, and the University of Cincinnati, and a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Pastor Ven Ogbebor is also a graduate of Redeemers Leadership Institute (RLI) and Redeemers University North America with many leadership trainings. He has been married to his beautiful, Holy Spirit-filled, and very supportive wife, IK Ogbebor since 2002, and they are blessed with four wonderful children.
