✨ CAMF Spring Unity Weekend Recap ✨The Chicagoland Area Ministers Fellowship (CAMF) 2026 Spring Unity Weekend held April 25-26th was a powerful and transformative gathering centered on unity, leadership, and worship.
The weekend began with a dynamic Transformational Leadership Conference, where pastors and ministry leaders came together for growth, connection, and equipping. Inspired by Luke 9:2, attendees were empowered to preach the Kingdom and bring healing, with impactful insights from Rev. Dr. Horace Sheppard, Jr. and Pastor Cornelius N. Atkinson.
It culminated in a spirit-filled Spring Worship Unity Service under the theme “We Are One” (John 17:21). Hearts were lifted in worship, the Word went forth with power, and the body of Christ gathered in true unity.
🙌🏽 Lives were impacted
🤝 Leaders were strengthened
🔥 Faith was renewed
