On Saturday, May 2, 2026, a few of our Ecclesia Board members gathered to witness the inaugural Atlanta Festival of Young Preachers which is apart of the Academy of Young Preachers which is founded by our very own Rev. Dr. Dwight A. Moody. This historic event came from the vision another Olive Tree brancher (member) the Rev. Joseph T. Howard Sr. Talk about a vision coming to reality! 28 young people ages 16 to 30 years old both men and women gathered to preach the unadulterated Word of God. Many of the young preachers also preached for the very first time. If you're a young person between the ages of 16 to 30 years old and have a call to preach, please mark on your calendar October 2nd & 3rd for the next Atlanta Festival of Young Preachers.
