The Royal Shepherds Aim, Pledge, Anthem, and Motto

Birth Of Royal Shepherds

It is universally accepted truism that many youths usually prefer to associate with various youth clubs which offer different appeals such as uniform wearing, and which is regimental or para-military in nature. Such uniformed groups provide added advantages of instant recognition, authority and respect in the society. This explains why many of our church youths usually register as members of NGO’s such as Boys’ Brigade, Girls Brigade, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Red Cross, Man O’ War, WAI Brigade, etc. And this also explains why many other Christian churches in Nigeria have established or integrated various types of disciplined, uniformed, regimental or para-military voluntary youth movements into their congregation.

Following this enviable pattern, the Christ Apostolic Church, at the meeting of the General Executive Council, held at Ikeji-Arakeji Camp on Wednesday, 10th May, 2002 unanimously resolved to establish a distinct para-military youth wing for this Church immediately. Also reference to the Nigerian Constitution on the formation and inauguration of youth chapter at various levels, the authority of CAC in compliance with Act of Parliament of 25th August, 1964, and as amended through the National Youth Policy of 2001 decided to form this youth organization
