Africa Council

2026-2028

The Africa Council (AC) of the Church of God is the highest administrative body in Africa. The Field Director for Africa serves as its chairman. The council comprises the respective Regional Superintendents and Department leaders of the various ministries. Beginning in 2026, the AC meets virtually bimonthly and in person biannually to strategize, cast vision, and discuss issues pertaining to the Church of God in Africa and the spread of the Gospel throughout the continent. While these men have the responsibility of providing administrative oversight to the ministries of Africa, their brotherhood is a mighty fortress, supported by weekly prayer and a spiritual bond of unity. The Field Director serves the ministries of Africa in the newly developed International Executive Offices of Africa, located in Lusaka, Zambia, and proudly hosts the Africa Council during their gatherings.
