Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  What is TIPA?

A:  TIPA is an acronym for The International Pastors Association. It is the spiritual covering for
pastors who choose to officially link arms and sit under the leadership of Dr Albert Odulele and be in covenant relationship with him and his ministry.

Q:  How can I become a TIPA member?

A:  You must be a senior pastor actively pastoring a church. You can go online www.tipa.org.uk  and read about TIPA. Download the application form, print it and submit the profile with the mentioned requirements (church's mission and vision statement, membership fee and/or first of the tithe/offering)

Q:  Will I be mentored by Dr Albert if I become a TIPA Member?

A:  Yes you will; the ministry of Dr Albert will mentor you.

Q:  Is the tithe/offering from the church or the pastor?

A:  The tithe/offering is from the pastors income. We are a covering for the pastor, not the church. However you may give from your ministry if the Lord so instructs.

Q:  I am looking for a home church in my area or I am moving to a new location.  Can you recommend a church that I can attend?

A:  It is not the practice of TIPA to recommend any one church over another for attendance.  It is the preference of TIPA that you allow the Holy Spirit to help you locate a place of worship.  We do recommend that you visit churches and ask other practicing Christians in your area where they attend church.  We realize this process can take some time, and can therefore recommend from churches that link with TIPA. Be in tune with your spirit-man and you will land at the right location.  The churches you attend in this process will be blessed by your attendance and you should concentrate on what you can bring to the church as the Lord needs workers.  God wants you where you can be involved!
