The 2025 edition of the Owo Anglican Clergy and Wives School opened with a spirit-filled Holy Eucharistic service at the Archbishop Vining College of Theology, Akure, drawing clergy and their spouses together in worship, fellowship, and renewal.
The program, hosted under the loving leadership of the Diocesan Bishop of Owo, The Rt. Rev’d Dr. Stephen Ayodeji Fagbemi, and his wife, Mrs. Florence Ebunoluwa Fagbemi, carries the theme: “Equipping the Clergy for Church Growth and Spiritual Maturity.”
Day one was marked by hymns, prayers, and thanksgiving, as priests and their wives rededicated themselves to God’s work. The opening service set the tone for a week dedicated to strengthening bonds, rekindling passion for ministry, and building leaders who will guide the Church toward deeper faith and effective growth.
Day two featured a blend of Bible studies, lectures, and interactive sessions designed to enrich both clergy and their spouses. Participants engaged in thought-provoking discussions, drawing insights that not only deepened their theological understanding but also reinforced their commitment to ministry and family life.
The sessions, guided by Baba and Mama Owo, left participants spiritually refreshed, intellectually enriched, and better equipped to face the challenges of contemporary ministry. The day concluded with prayers and worship, sealing the atmosphere of unity and renewal.
The Clergy and Wives School has long been a vital platform for the Diocese of Owo, nurturing leaders, fostering fellowship, and promoting spiritual maturity. This year’s gathering once again highlights the Church’s commitment to preparing its clergy and families for holistic service, ensuring that the flame of faith continues to burn brightly across the Diocese and beyond.
