About Me/About My Family
I am Moses Abiodun Orukotan, born in Jos, Nigeria. I happily married my beautiful wife, Oyebisi Omoladun Orukotan, on August 5, 2006. We have three boys, Edward, Enoch-Adeogo and Eniola-David. I previously served as an elder at Northland Church Fargo, N.D., and now serve as the lead pastor of Mercy-Seat Church and Overcomers’ Chapel Fargo, a new church plant. I also worked with the Nigerian Baptist Convention in the student and youth ministries division before coming to the U.S.
Philip Wilson, an IMB missionary in Jos, Nigeria, who came and worked with the student ministries division of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, led me to Christ during our Baptist Student Fellowship Northern zonal conferences in Jos in 1989.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Nigeria and my MDiv and ThM from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Louisville, KY. And another ThM and PhD from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO.
About My Ministry
As we begin this mission here in Fargo, N.D., we believe that the seed sown shall germinate, bear fruit, and remain (John 15:16). We are planting in Fargo and will plant in other cities to obey God’s calling and reach out to young adults/professionals, internationals and those who have not responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We seek to bring them up to be disciples of Christ, so they can reach out to others (2 Timothy 2:2, 1 Thessalonians 2:8) and to provide varied opportunities for Christian students to experience the disciplines that will encourage spiritual growth and the sharing of their faith.
Our call to student ministries is a call to church plant, and once we understand the individual’s need for redemption and Christian nature within the community of campus in this area, we know planting a church will meet that need.
