ACOP 101 is in recognition that ACOP is now in its 101st year of operations, but it is also an acknowledgment that as we come out of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we need to return to some foundational principles—some 101’s if you will.

Three 101 principles that we want to focus on at this year’s conference are Revive, Recalibrate, and Recommission.

“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”—Hosea 6:1-3 NLT

The pandemic has taken its toll on pastors and churches; racial tension, political polarization, and a pervasive negativity in the media have pushed people to the brink. We have been torn —we have been injured. At ACOP 101 we are looking to the Lord to revive us, recalibrate us, and recommission us.
