St. Jude’s Church, Ebute Meta, established in 1867 as the first church on Lagos Mainland, evolved through faith and resilience. From its humble beginnings as the "Bamboo Church" and "Jungle Church," it became a symbol of religious freedom and growth. By 1928, it was envisioned as a future cathedral, a prophecy fulfilled in 2006 with its dedication as the Cathedral of St. Jude.

Over the years, the church has undergone renovations and expansions, serving as a spiritual beacon and headquarters for the Diocese of Lagos Mainland. Its legacy continues through the contributions of clergy, parishioners, and supporters, ensuring its place as a center of worship and community support.
