NKST LOBI BEFORE BECOMING A CONSISTORY
A place of worship in the vicinity of clerks quarters became a necessity. The reason being that the NKST church at Wadata, Makurdi was not a stone throw. Subsequently, in December, 1968, Prince David Benson Awua Imande, who was the Assistant Headmaster approached Mr. Peter Aondoakaa Orga, who was the Headmaster for permission to commence a worship centre in the LEA Primary School, Makurdi premises, their place of teaching. Mr. Orga gave an express permission. During the Holy Communion Conference of March, 1969, Prince D.B.A Imande met the pastor and council of Elders to obtain official permission to formally start a church at the LEA Primary School, Makurdi. Rev. James A. Mayange who was the resident pastor then accepted the offer. Thus a worship place called LEA Church was born, which was later to become NKST Church, Lobi.
