2025 National Leadership Day
& Annual General Meeting

On behalf of your PAOC executive officers, I welcome you to join us in-person or via live stream for the PAOC’s 2025 NATIONAL LEADERSHIP GATHERING and ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM). This is a biennial event of our PAOC International Office. Leaders gather for vision casting around mission and ministry, constitutional requirements are cared for, and necessary voting is facilitated. We look back on our General Conference held in May 2024 with such fond memories and were thankful for the tremendous turnout of those who joined us in Niagara Falls, ON and online. We anticipate seeing as many of you as are able to join us at PORTICO Community Church, in Mississauga, Ontario, for this upcoming one-day event on March 25.

Our theme is WE THE CALLED: BY NAME. In our morning plenary sessions, we will worship our Lord and have times of intentional prayer together. We will be inspired in our ministry callings by national and global leaders. And, we will be connecting with special guest, Brian Alarid, author of BY NAME: How to Pray for People and Lead Them to Jesus. Brian has been a tremendous inspiration to me personally and is blessing us with our 2025 gift book that credential holders will be receiving in the mail between now and the time of our March gathering. We will be blessed to have Brian speak into our lives and challenge us in a unique way to believe for the lives of those who need to experience a new-found relationship with Jesus Christ.

Please review the details below and make your plans accordingly. This one-day event will be part of a larger week of meetings for our national groups and committees. We ask you to please be in prayer for those in leadership in our Fellowship as we seek to hear the Lord’s voice. There is much kingdom work the Lord has for us to do.

We look forward to seeing you—whether onsite in Mississauga or as one of our online participants. Thank you for living out your calling and being such an integral part of our PAOC family as we work together to see mission and ministry thrive in 2025.

- Dave Wells, General Superintendent
