The Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), formerly Church of Christ in Nigeria, is a Christian denomination in Jos, Nigeria. It has a membership of over 8 million people across 2000 churches.
COCIN was founded in 1904.[1] Its current headquarters is in Jos, Plateau State.[2][3] Its current President is Rev. Dr. Amos Musa Mohzo.[4] It was originally called Ekklesiyar Kristi A Nigeria.[5][6]
Ekklesiyar Kristi A Nigeria was established in 1904 as part of the Sudan United Mission, an interdenominational mission founded by German-American missionaries.[7] In 1927 SIM changed its name to Church of Christ in Nigeria.
In 1963 it was renamed as Church of Christ in Nations.
