Daystar Christian Centre has pledged to address what it describes as one of the biggest challenges facing growing ministries, the absence of sustainable systems and structures.

This would be at the inaugural Global Church Systems Conference (GCSC) in Lagos on July 16 and 17, 2026, themed; “Building Sustainable, Scalable, Spirit-Led Church Systems.”

According to the church, the conference will bring together more than 1,000 pastors and church leaders from across Africa and beyond to explore strategies for building scalable and spirit-led church organisations.

Speaking ahead of the conference, Founder and Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Pastor Sam Adeyemi, said many ministries struggle not because of a lack of vision but because they lack effective systems to sustain growth.

“Growth is a blessing, but unmanaged growth becomes a burden. Too many ministries are still personality-dependent; when the leader is gone, the structure goes with him or her. This conference exists to change that,” he said.

Co-Founder of Daystar Christian Centre, Pastor Nike Adeyemi, noted that effective church systems should enhance care and community building rather than diminish them.

“Systems without people are cold, and people without systems are chaos. The strongest churches are those where structure protects people and gives them room to belong, grow and be cared for,” she said.

According to the organisers, the conference will adopt a practical learning approach, with participants working in small groups to identify gaps within their ministries and develop customised 90-day implementation plans.

The two-day programme is targeted at senior pastors, general overseers, ministry executives and church operations leaders. Registration is currently open, while scholarship opportunities are available for student pastors.

The conference will draw from Daystar’s over three decades of organisational experience through its proprietary S.H.E.P.H.E.R.D. Model, covering governance, leadership development, technology, finance, succession planning and people management.
