Summary

| Description |
English: the foundation of Nigeria's first church would be laid in Ake, Abeokuta, by Rev. Andrew Desalu Wilhelm, years after the mission of Rev. Henry Townsend.
The church, which is known as the cathedral church of St. Peters, was completed in 1898. Being the first of its kind, it was only natural for the church to serve as a rallying point for a good number of early missionaries who were at the time, spreading the gospel of Christianity in Abeokuta and its environs. Presently, the St. Peters premises now harbours a newer and bigger auditorium where worship and other religious activities are being carried out. But the actual building that was built in 1898 still stands tall till date. It is used as a tourist site.Yorùbá: Ìpìlẹ̀ ṣọ́ọ̀ṣì àkọ́kọ́ ní Nàìjíríà yóò jẹ́ ní Ake, Abeokuta, látọwọ́ Alufaa Andrew Desalu Wilhelm, ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọdún lẹ́yìn iṣẹ́ Ajíhìnrere Henry Townsend.
