The 2025 ACF USA National Conference, held in Missouri from July 2- 6, brought together brethren from across the country for a vibrant and spiritually enriching experience. Centered on the theme of “Faith and Works,” the conference offered a powerful lineup of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and panel discussions that inspired attendees to live out their faith in practical, impactful ways.
The multi-day agenda featured early morning Faith-Fueled Fitness, dynamic praise and worship, and powerful keynote messages from Bishop Darlingston Johnson and Prof. Vincent Anigbogu. Youth, children, and young adults had tailored programs that fostered engagement, while the exhibit hall served as a hub of resources from ministries and local business providing networking opportunities throughout the event.
Breakout sessions were a major highlight of the conference. On Thursday, participants explored topics that spoke to real-life application of faith, including estate planning as an act of spiritual stewardship, cultivating a healthy and holistic lifestyle, and activating dormant visions through creativity and innovation—including the use of AI. Young adults gathered for candid dialogue on organizational legacy and identity, while others engaged in conversations on the challenges and joys of maintaining Christian marriages and raising godly children in today’s world.
The momentum continued into Friday, where breakout discussions focused on empowering the next generation through mentoring, digital engagement, and cultural awareness. Entrepreneurs were encouraged to align their business practices with kingdom values, while others focused on the spiritual significance of physical fitness and self-care. Attendees also explored ACF’s mission of reconciliation and inclusion, and strategies for raising a new wave of mission-minded leaders equipped to reconnect with the African continent.
On Saturday, the conference extended its reach into the community through a purposeful outreach event, embodying the heart of service that defines ACF. Throughout the weekend, surprise giveaways added fun and excitement to the experience.
Saturday night’s banquet was a joyful celebration filled with laughter, delicious African food, a lively photo booth, and a moving ceremony recognizing the outgoing and incoming national board leadership—a moment that honored legacy while looking forward to the future.
From strategic planning sessions like “Advancing Towards Vision 2030” and business meetings to worship nights led by Pastor Gabriel Eziashi, the 2025 National Conference was a time of deep spiritual growth, meaningful fellowship, and renewed commitment to ACF’s mission of holistic transformation.
We are grateful to everyone who supported, attended, served, and helped make this gathering a memorable success! We look forward to ACF at 50 in 2027!
