- No website or social page was provided
- Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right
What we found
No directory, map, or Facebook listing for a "Zion Sanctuary" in Benin City or Edo State appeared in any search. facebook.com / instagram.com: "Zion Sanctuary" matches are a Celestial Church of Christ parish in Oshodi, Lagos - not Benin City. rccgzionsanctuarynyc.org: an RCCG "Zion Sanctuary" parish, but based in New York, USA. mzsa.org: "Mount Zion Sanctuary Assemblies" - a different, non-Nigerian body. rentechdigital.com (scraped directory): lists 877 churches in Edo State as of April 2026, but no visible "Zion Sanctuary" entry. No news article, denominational register, or Nigerian church directory ties this name to Benin City; the Gmail contact address is generic and unverifiable.
Our conclusion: "Zion Sanctuary" is a plausible congregation name (not a personal name, despite the signal) and the Acts 10:38 email hints at a believer, but no directory, social, or news evidence ties it to Benin City, so a quick human
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
