The Rivers-based church made the news public through an official notice released on Sunday, August 23, 2026.
Reverend Nnamdy Echezona signed the statement on behalf of the church leadership, confirming the loss of a figure they described as a visionary leader, teacher, mentor, and Kingdom builder whose influence extended far beyond the walls of his local congregation.
Church honours a 'life well lived'
Rather than framing the moment solely as one of grief, the church leadership struck a note of both mourning and celebration.
"Though we deeply miss his physical presence, we rejoice in the hope we have in Christ and celebrate a life well lived, a race well run, and a legacy that will continue for generations," the statement read.
The notice closed with a verse from 2 Timothy 4:7:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith," a scripture the leadership appeared to choose deliberately as a tribute to the pastor's commitment throughout his ministry.
Church leaders were keen to reassure members connected to Dominion International that Aromaegbe's passing would not bring his life's work to an end.
The statement affirmed that the advancement of the Kingdom he championed would press forward, and called on members and all those linked to the Dominion International family to hold the late pastor's family in prayer during this difficult period.
The full programme for Dr Aromaegbe's Celebration of Life is yet to be announced, with the church indicating that details would be shared at a later date.
