he Young Couples Fellowship of Emmanuel Baptist Church which was inaugurated in 2008 through a vision which God gave to Revd. Taiye Shola Adeola was formed to bring Couples whose marriages are between ages of 0-12 years together so that they can share fellowship and prayerfully solve the peculiar challenges that confront marriages within this age bracket.
In October 2010, the fellowship was broken into smaller groups of about ten comprising of four couples per group to strengthen the fellowship within these groups. As at today, there are seventeen of these groups and each of them having about 9 couples.
By the grace of God the fellowship has recorded successes in the following areas:
Our Vision

Evangelism: Some of the groups visit motherless homes and other institutions (in the name of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Sabo-Oke, Ilorin) to give materials and financial assistance;
The assistance of group members to secure jobs, start businesses of their own, build their own houses, pay school fees and attend ceremonial functions; Spiritual development through Bible studies and prayers within these groups.
