Know who we are, what we believe, and the vision driving us forward to 2032 and beyond.
The Threshold International Christian Centre (TICC) is a vibrant community of believers dedicated to spreading the message of Jesus Christ and empowering individuals to live purposefully and fulfil their divine calling.
We exist in a moment of great opportunity and responsibility. As followers of Christ, we are commissioned by God to bring out the true reflection of God in every person we encounter - demonstrating His love, power, and excellence in all we do.
Our ministry spans across multiple campuses and touches lives locally, nationally, and internationally. We are driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to bring out the best version of you by connecting you with the living God and His transformative power.
Rooted in the model of the early church in Acts 2:41-47, we are committed to authentic community, solid teaching, fervent prayer, and generous service to the world around us.
Pastor Olamide Shotonade - Founder and Senior Pastor of TICC Worldwide
Pastor Olamide's journey into ministry began with a personal encounter with Jesus Christ during a transformative season in the early 2000s. Following academic and personal disruption, he surrendered his life to Christ and entered a season of spiritual rebuilding shaped by prayer, Scripture, and mentorship from respected spiritual leaders.
Through consistent spiritual discipline - including a lifestyle of prayer and fasting - his conviction grew regarding a divine assignment. This burden matured into a clear calling to ministry.
During his time at Bowen University, Pastor Olamide pioneered campus fellowship groups that evolved into the IMAGIN Meetings (formally launched December 9, 2006), marking a significant spiritual awakening among students. This movement became foundational to TICC's current culture of worship, teaching, and Holy Spirit encounters.
After completing national service and leading in the Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship, he returned to Ibadan and established what would become Threshold International Christian Centre - birthed between 2011-2012 with a simple mandate: "Bringing out the true reflection of God in you."
Today, Pastor Olamide leads TICC Worldwide under the governance structure of Olamide Shotonade Ministries International (OSMI), with a heart to see the Gospel reach 2 billion souls across 10,000 cities by 2032.
"It is too small a thing for you to be my servant... I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth." - Isaiah 49:6
Through strategic expansion, media ministry, and Spirit-empowered evangelism, we aim to present the gospel to 2 billion souls across the globe by 2032.
We are establishing TICC presence in 10,000 cities worldwide, creating networks of believers committed to spreading Christ's kingdom.
Starting with Ibadan and Lagos, we are expanding to university campuses where young people are shaped through revivals, retreats, and outreach.
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." - 1 Timothy 1:6-7
Committed to continuous spiritual, personal, and organizational growth. Every believer is on a journey of becoming more like Christ.
Love is the heartbeat of our ministry. We love God with all our hearts and demonstrate that through action and service to others.
We believe in the supernatural power of God. The Holy Spirit empowers us to overcome obstacles, heal the broken, and transform lives.
Excellence honors God with our best. We pursue it in worship, teaching, service, and everything we undertake.
We are stronger together - community is where we find belonging, accountability, encouragement, and the lived-out kingdom of God.
True greatness is found in serving others. We model Christ's example of humble, sacrificial service to those around us.
We operate with complete reliance on the Holy Spirit's guidance and power. This is a Spirit-led movement, not just a human organization.
Every decision, teaching, and ministry initiative is grounded in Scripture. We are anchored in God's eternal Word.
We dream of reaching the world while deeply investing in local communities. Think big, act local.
We develop the whole person - spiritually, emotionally, and relationally - not just adding names to a church roll.
We operate with transparency. Our leadership is accessible, finances are stewarded carefully, and direction is clearly communicated.
With centers in Ibadan and Lagos, we provide consistent teaching, values, and community across strategic locations.
TICC welcomes everyone, but we have a special heart for those in these seasons of life:
If you identify with any of these, TICC is a place where you belong.
