Church Verification Report

What we checked

• Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
• The name reads as a real congregation
• Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
• The address given (FACEBOOK:%20LCCN%20ST.%20LUKE'S%20CATHEDRAL%20TV) did not answer when we tried it, with and without www; a mistyped address says nothing about the congregation itself
• A working page belonging to this church was found by the search: facebook.com/pages/Lccn%20St-Luke%27s%20Cathedral%20Jalingo/323479448118679/
• Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right

What we found

We searched for this congregation and found that its parent body is real and large: the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) is a major Lutheran denomination founded in 1913, with about 2,200,000 members in over 2,400 congregations, and it is listed as a member church of the Lutheran World Federation (lutheranworld.org, Wikipedia). For the Jalingo congregation itself we found a Facebook place page titled "Lccn St-Luke's Cathedral Jalingo" (facebook.com), though our servers cannot read behind the login wall to confirm its activity. We could not confirm a page specifically named "LCCN St. Luke's Cathedral TV"; the closest match in results was a similar LCCN cathedral broadcast page for St. Paul's Cathedral (facebook.com/StPaulsCathedralTV), which suggests such parish TV pages are a normal LCCN practice. A published LCCN history also lists Jalingo among the denomination's locations (Google Books, David Bulala). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
