The Cherubim and Seraphim Society is a Christian denomination from Nigeria. It was founded by Saint Moses Orimolade, and Mother Captain Abiodun who was the first person to fall in to a trance in the sacred fold of Cherubim and Seraphim.[1] The society is one of the Aladura churches.[2] It has been claimed that the Cherubim and Seraphim Society was founded in 1925, and that a split from the founders [Baba Moses Orimolade and Captain Abiodun Emanuel] led to the formation of several other (major and minor) divisions of the Cherubim and Seraphim fold.[2]

Its headquarters is in Lagos, Nigeria.[3] The Holy Mary Cathedral Church (Lagos) was built in 1951.[4] The denomination is also present in Northern Nigeria.[5] Other countries with branch churches include Senegal, the United Kingdom and the United States.[4] Angels, in particular the Archangel Michael, are central to the churches beliefs.[6]
