Christ Apostolic Church Good Women Association (CACGWA) is one of the three major units of the Church, with membership exclusively for adult female members. It was founded in 1960 during the Church’s national convention held in Ile-Ife.
CACGWA was founded during the Church's national convention in Ile-Ife by pioneering women including D.T. Ajayi, S. Johnson and V.A. Oshun.
Membership is exclusively for adult female members, organised from the local assembly up to the national level.
The association established the Babalola Memorial Girls Grammar School, Ilesa (1960), the Midwifery College, Ede (1959), and the CAC Women Bible College, Ede (1986).
A new executive committee reorganised the society, which was then renamed the CAC Good Women Association.
Local assemblies run choral groups, welfare units and prayer bands that teach spiritual, financial and family responsibilities.
The national conference is zoned into the Ikeji-Arakeji, Abuja and Port Harcourt sections, covering Nigeria and the Benin Republic.
The Good Women Association in Ketu Assembly began in 1988, when Pastor Olasehinde, then Assembly Pastor, directed Mrs Efunkoya (Iya Ijebu) to lead the women. It became fully operational in 1989, with Mrs Efunkoya as the association’s first leader.
Since Mrs Efunkoya, the association has been led by Deaconess F. F. Olabinjo, Deaconess Ibukun Felix, Deaconess E. M. Oladeji and, presently, Deaconess Grace Adegbesan.
Deaconess G. F. Adegbesan serves as the Assembly Good Women Leader.
Deaconess E. T. Onaderu serves as Secretary.
Deaconess R. O. Oyediran serves as Treasurer.
Mrs A. O. Omodele serves as Financial Secretary.
Deaconess E. M. Oladeji leads the choir, with Mrs H. M. Adeniyi as Secretary and Deaconess A. Ojulari as Treasurer.
The current executives were elected into office on 8th May 2022.
Mrs Efunkoya, fondly called Iya Ijebu, became the pioneer leader of the association in 1988.
