Our Gatherings

Bringing scholars and Church leaders together

Conferences are at the heart of the life of the Association. They give members the opportunity to present their research, to learn from one another and to engage with the questions facing the Church and society in Nigeria.

In keeping with its objectives, NACHAMS organises conferences that help remove obstacles to peace and justice, and that promote security, development and peaceful co-existence among the adherents of the three major religions in Nigeria.

  • Annual Conference and General Meeting, normally held in November
  • Induction of Fellows into the Nigerian Academy of Church History and Missiology
  • Papers and discussions on Church History and Missiology
