Early 2006, upon the adoption of a resolution to start a Preaching at Magodo by the leadership of New Estate Baptist Church, Surulere, Lagos (NEBC), consultation began with the leadership of Magodo Home Fellowship. A crusade with which it was hoped to kick start the

Preaching Station was organized in June of that year. Soon, leadership of NEBC requested a meeting with the Magodo/Ketu Congregation on a Sunday evening. Pastor Amos Kunat came with the leader appointed for the Preaching Station, Deacon Dele Adeogun. In the course of that meeting we were informed officially as a group of the decision the NEBC has taken to start a Preaching Station in Magodo, and that it was planned that we will start on the first wednesday of September 2006, with mid-week services. And so we started.

The name of the Church was divinely inspired into the heart of our leader, Dn. Dele Adeogun. At his first meeting with the Ketu/Magodo Congregation he informed members of the Pulpit Committee that while waiting on the Lord for 40 days preparatory to the take-off of the Preaching Station, the Lord laid it in his heart to name the Church 'New Light'. He said the Lord told him that He would make the Church a City on a Hill that cannot be hid; that the Church was going to be one that will make tremendous impact on its environment. He said that members should go and pray about it against our next meeting. Coincidentally, soon after he said so, PHCN restored electricity which had then been off. Other members of the Pulpit Committee prayed for several days about the name of the Church and when they reconvened they unanimously endorsed the suggestion of Dn. Adeogun.

We had the first mid-week service on September 6, 2006. We were 33 adults and 11 children. It was at in the home of one us, the family of Bro. Jide and Sis. Jumoke Oladipo along Emmanuel Keshi Street in Magodo. We were worshiping on Sundays at NEBC Surulere throughout September while holding our midweek services on Wednesdays at The Oladipos in Magodo. On the last Sunday of September, i.e. September 27, 2006 we were sent forth by NEBC. They prayed for us and they asked us to go in His Name. We started our first worship service in the home of, the Oladipos on Sunday, October 1, 2006. We were 68 in all.
