The Church had its initial teething problems of recognition and autonomy. The founder, Rev. Dr. E. Okolugbo, was an ordained Anglican Priest who should work for the Anglican Communion with Anglican faith. So it was not easy for the Church/Chapel to be recognized in a community where an Anglican church was in existence. Members of the Anglican Communion in the community saw it as a rival church and so made every effort to see that it did not come into existence, but the founder persisted and eventually succeeded. The Venerable Dr. E. Okolugbo was the Vicar while Rev’d. Nathaniel Enuku was the Chaplain. In 1993, Venerable Dr. Emmanuel Okolugbo was appointed as the Provost of the Anglican Cathedral at Asaba. As a result of this appointment, the onus of OSC church activities became heavily vested on Rt. Rev’d. J. U. Aruakpor. A major challenge that confronted OSC then was the lack of a worship centre owned by OSC. Hence prayer were always said on this issue.

The worship venue started in a lecture or class room, with the Founder, his wife, children and few students as members. Later, few adults and families like the Offeh’s, Musa’s, Osazuma’s joined the members of the Chapel. This was for a brief period as the College authority frowned at the use of classrooms for religious activities. The authority asked the Founder to look for an alternative venue. The most favourable and free place then was the Atscan Hall. The Roman Catholic Church, having the same problem, also chose the Atscan Hall for their meetings. It was with Christian maturity that the leadership of both Churches peacefully agreed to use the venue. The Roman Catholics used it from 6am to l0am and the Ecumenical Chapel from 10am to 12 noon or more every Sunday morning. Initially, there was order, but along the line, the Roman Catholics started, for reasons best known to them, spending more time than usual, thus making it difficult for the Ecumenical Chapel to worship when they should. In order to avoid unhealthy conflicts, the Ecumenical Chapel had to move to the Arts Auditorium but again they had problems with the students’ fellowships who chose it as their worship venue. When the students’ disturbances became unbelievable, the Chapel again moved to Science Auditorium. This was the last worship venue before the Chapel building was erected.

With the growth in population and people of divers denomination joining as members, the need to change the name from Ecumenical to a name that is all embracing arose. A call was made to all members to suggest a name. Thus, the name Our Saviour’s Chapel, among others was accepted and approved

Having been allocated a space, Architect Umunadi was contacted to design a structure for the Chapel. In December 1996 the foundation of the Chapel was laid by the late Rt. Rev. N. Enuku who was the Bishop of Warri Diocese, under the pastoral guidance of Rev. B. Oladosun who was the Chaplain of Our Saviour’s Chapel and under his tenure, the Chapel ran two services; 6am to 8am and 8:30am to 1030am; Dr. T. J. J. Okpidi was the them Chairman of Council and Prof. E. A. Arubayi as the Chairman of the Building Committee, assisted by Mr. E. A. Offeh.

The Chapel’s logo; a dove carrying the heart, was designed by Rt. Rev. J. U. Aruakpor when he was the chaplain. The dove represents the Holy Spirit carrying our hearts to God. THE MOTTO: “Towards maturity in Christ” led by the Holy Spirit, was accepted by Council.

When Rev’d. Biodu Oladosu became the Chaplain in 1997, he saw the need for the Chapel to have a common family song. He then composed and taught Our Saviour’s Chapel Members the family song:
I love this family of God,
So closely knitted into one,
They have taken me into their midst
and I am so glad to be,
a part of this great family.
This song is still being sung at the close of every service.

As the Chapel grew, there arose the need to put in place, an administrative structure as follows:
1. The Council which is made up of a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Financial Secretary and Treasurer. They were to take care of the day to day administration of Chapel.
2. The Chaplaincy which is made up of the Chaplain and the Assistant Chaplain or Chaplain Assistant and other accredited ministers in the Chapel. They are to take care of all spiritual matters in the Chapel.
3. The Wings: Such as Men’s Fellowship, Women’s Fellowship, Youth Fellowship and the Children Department.
4. Units: Unit comprising of Adult Sunday School, Children Sunday School, Prayer Band, Ushering Team, the Choir, Evangelism, Counselling Team, Follow Up Team, Deliverance Team, Technical Crew, Decoration Team and the Sanctuary Keepers, Drama Units and the
5. Chapel committees such as Marriage, Welfare and Building.
