Glory be to God Almighty for granting us the grace to be part of this unique occasion. When our Pastor Rev. S.A. Oladejo is being appreciated for his relentless efforts in piloting our church spiritually, physically, and his contribution to the welfare of all the church members. Pastor S.A Oladejo acepted our call to be the under shepherd of this church, in April 2009. Despite threats and advice by our detractors not to come and serve our church, he chose to obey Gods voice with the belief that a big job involving hard work, devotion and purposeful leadership is waiting for him at Union Baptist Church, Lagos-Psalm 1vs 3.

Union Baptist Church Iga ldunganran is a peace loving Church. They appreciate good leadship and quality of service. We thank God that as a result of Rev. S.A. Oladejo Leadership qualities, our church enjoyed uninterrupted peace within the past 10 years. Crises on any congregation is a function of poor leadership. If church members are spiritually well equipped there will be little or no problem in the church. Once more Rev. Mrs, S.A. Oladejo the entire members of Union Baptist Church appreciate your purposeful Leadership and we pray that the Almighty God will continue to endow you with more anointing. Amen-Psalm 92vs 12.

ACHIEVEMENT

PASTORAL PRAYER
He devoted more time for pasturing prayers. Members who leaves far from the church always ensure that they do not miss the prayer points which are often backed up with relevant Bible passages. He often said that the essence of coming to church is to pray so that you do not remain the same. Thus he enhanced the spiritual growth of all members.
CHURCH BUILDING
He made the completion of the church building within two years his priority. He is endowed with knowledge and wisdom to raise fund for the church building and equipments needed to enhance our bishop service i.e. Choir Musical Instrument and Air Conditioner to mention a few. He has a group he calls the movers and shakers as the head of the group, he donates personally along with others when money is needed for any project in the church. His wife is also a cheerful giver and moral booster.
FAMILY MEETINGS
He changed the name of church council/conference to family meeting. This makes it easier for him to reconcile divergent views and work for peace.
WELFARE
He believes that when members grow spiritually, their welfare must be catered for, to sustain their spiritual development for the first time in history of the church. We have a pastor that encourages member to plan for their future and have a roof on their head. He therefore encourages the church to purchase some acres of land at Lusada Ogun State for interested members to invest.
EVANGELISM
