Yesterday, Saturday, April 25, the Chicagoland Area Ministers Fellowship (CAMF) hosted its Transformational Leadership Conference at Langley Church of God. Pastors and leaders from across the region gathered for a powerful morning of growth and ministry development.
Highlights from the Day: The session focused on the weekend’s central theme inspired by Luke 9:2; “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”
The conference featured profound insights from two distinguished voices in ministry:
- Dr. Horace Sheppard, Jr. (Founder of Shepherd’s Voice Ministries) shared strategies for empowering local church leadership.
- Pastor Cornelius N. Atkinson (Vice Presiding Elder of the National Association of the Church of God & Senior Pastor of God in Charlotte, NC) provided practical wisdom for strengthening ministry impact.
It was a vital time of connection and equipping for all who attended. We are grateful to everyone who joined us for this essential gathering! We know your lives will forever be transformed as a result!
