SFC Founder says church account untouched, emphasises stewardship over income

The founder and General Overseer of Solution Family Church (SFC), Dr Christian-Shola, has addressed public conversations surrounding the church’s finances, insisting that the ministry is driven by stewardship and social impact rather than income generation.

Dr Christian-Shola made the clarification in a video that has gone viral on social media, where he disclosed that the church’s headquarters account has remained untouched since it was opened. According to him, no withdrawals have ever been made from the account, a claim he said could be verified through the church’s bankers, Zenith Bank.

“SFC is not designed for income but for impact,” the cleric stated, stressing that the ministry does not operate with a focus on accumulating funds. He added that the church has not experienced financial shortfalls, attributing its sustenance to what he described as divine provision.

The SFC founder further revealed that the church spent millions of naira in 2025 on charitable activities and operational expenses without relying on tithes or offerings from members. He explained that the funds were channelled into humanitarian interventions, many of which were intentionally kept out of the public eye.

Among the initiatives highlighted were prison outreach programmes at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre, including football competitions organised to uplift inmates’ morale. He also cited the provision of medicines, clothing and food items as part of the church’s welfare and outreach efforts.

Dr Christian-Shola said the initiatives underscored SFC’s commitment to service and its responsibility to make a measurable difference both within the church and in the wider society.

The video has continued to generate mixed reactions online, with supporters commending the church’s emphasis on transparency and charitable work, while others engage in broader debates on church finances and accountability. The comments remain widely shared across social media platforms as public discussions on religious institutions and financial stewardship persist.
