Pastor Jimmy Odukoya is the Senior Pastor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Fountain of Life Church, a position he assumed following the passing of his father, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, in 2023. Son of the late Pastors Taiwo and Bimbo Odukoya, he carries forward a rich legacy while charting his own bold path as a spiritual leader, lifestyle voice, culture shaper, and thought leader. Ordained in Oklahoma in 2007 and in Nigeria in 2009, Pastor Jimmy has served in various leadership roles within The Fountain of Life Church, including youth ministry, and in 2019 launched The CAVE to reach younger demographics with authentic faith expression.

A multifaceted creative, Pastor Jimmy is also a celebrated actor and musician. Since beginning his acting career in Lagos in 2016, he has become a familiar presence in Nollywood and rose to global prominence through his role in the Hollywood blockbuster The Woman King, where he starred alongside Viola Davis. His unique ability to move seamlessly between the pulpit, screen, and cultural conversations reflects his commitment to redefining what it means to be a modern African leader of faith.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (with a minor in Public Relations and Advertising) and an MBA from Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Through his ministry, artistry, and leadership, Pastor Jimmy continues to inspire people to love God, live boldly, and embrace their purpose without apology.
