Welcome to Conference!
We are so excited for our ACC Family to gather in Sydney in April for our 2027 National Conference.
We believe this is going to be a prophetic conference, where we will receive insight and discernment about what God is doing – in our day, in our time. More than that, we believe His power and anointing will be present to empower every leader in that room to do the right thing, in this time.
As you make plans to bring your family and your team for a time of impartation and revelation, our National Conference team is here to help you. Please reach out to us if you need any assistance.
– Ps Joel & Sharon Chelliah
