The urban church is pioneered by Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, Pastor Samuel Abiola-Jacobs and Pastor Nosa Igbinedion. It is a member of the House of Freedom and supports the Freedom Foundation.
Banky W, or PBanks as he is fondly called, has beckoned on the entire public to participate in the rebuilding of the church giving the account number as Zenith Bank, 1017310750, The Waterbrooks Project.
Contrary to popular beliefs, PBanks is only a serving minister, alongside his wife Adesuwa in the church that has affiliations with Freedom House. Many had initially attributed Banky W Waterbrook church together in the sense that the ministry belongs to the singer.
