INC Nigeria’s Media Conference equips hundreds of Creatives

We’re raising a generation that will not just trend, but transform.

INC Nigeria hosted its first Church Media Reboot Conference, gathering hundreds of church media leaders, creatives, and faith-based communicators to equip them in creating content, digital media, tech, and storytelling for ministry impact.

400+ creatives from 100+ denominations, 27 Nigerian states, Cote d’Ivoire, and France, both onsite and virtually, attended the conference, held at The Building Church in Tanke, Ilorin. The conference is a hub for renewing commitment among church media Creatives and energizing their creativity to impact the world for Christ.

This year’s theme, “Strategic Storytelling,” focused on empowering church media Creatives with cutting-edge insight into planning, creating, and publishing Gospel-centered content that transforms lives.

Church Media Reboot exists to equip creatives to fill digital spaces with the knowledge of God’s glory, through stories that heal, visuals that inspire, and content that edifies. The goal is clear: to reboot how the world sees the Church and remind every Creative that media is not just a tool, it’s a ministry.

Why Church Media Reboot?

The Church is in the middle of a media crisis, not because the Gospel has lost power, but because its messengers have lost focus. Across digital platforms, narratives about the Church are often filled with noise, conflict, and confusion. The message of unity, truth, and grace is getting drowned out by sensationalism and clickbait. Church Media Reboot was birthed as a prophetic response, a call to heal the Church’s digital voice and restore the beauty of God’s story in the media. As we

INC Nigeria’s Chapter Leader, David Adeleke, shares:

"Creatives in Nigeria have a prophetic responsibility during this challenging time. In the face of persecution against believers, our role is to bring truth, hope, and healing to the national conscience. Additionally, we aim to share the story of believers' resilience in Nigeria with the world. Through social media content, photography, music, film, art, and communication, we confront darkness with light, preserve the memory of this faith's resilience, inspire unity, and call the nation back to righteousness. We are honored to extend the network of INC here in Nigeria, as we disciple creatives to reflect and proclaim Christ in their lives and work.”

What it Means for the Creative Community.

For the creative community in Nigeria, Church Media Reboot is more than an event or a training program; it’s a global awakening. It’s a reminder that creative excellence and spiritual conviction are not opposites; they are divine partners. This movement empowers photographers, designers, videographers, writers, and storytellers across nations to reclaim their role as Kingdom communicators, to craft visuals, words, and content that reveal Christ, not just attract likes.

We’re raising a generation that will not just trend, but transform.
