Nigerian Baptist Convention Announces Arise Congress 2.0, The Emergence of Champions

The four-day congress will hold from Wednesday, September 3 to Saturday, September 6, 2025, at the Baptist International Convention Centre (BICC), Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

The event is designed to inspire revival, equip leaders, and empower the next generation of Christian youths across Nigeria and the diaspora.

Programme highlights include plenary sessions with respected speakers, breakout discussions on issues affecting the Church and society, worship encounters, mentoring clinics, and a career and entrepreneurship fair offering opportunities for graduates, job seekers, and entrepreneurs.

A strong lineup of ministers and thought leaders is billed to feature, among them:

Rev. Dr. Israel Adelani Akanji, President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention

Bishop David Abioye

Rev. Prof. John Enyinnaya

Pastor Fela Durotoye

Pastor Nike Adeyemi

…alongside other seasoned ministers and professionals.

According to the organisers, the congress is not just a gathering but “a movement of destiny” aimed at awakening champions who will influence their communities with Kingdom values and leadership.

Churches, ministries, youth groups, and individuals across Nigeria and beyond have been invited to participate.
