In 1991, a Family Fellowship comprising four Christian families in New Orleans metropolis began monthly meetings in its members' homes. It multiplied in numbers and the ministry of the Word. In 1993, it became a member of the African Christian Fellowship, USA (ACFUSA), and so was born the African Christian Fellowship, New Orleans Chapter, (ACFNOLA). African Christian Fellowship, USA, is the umbrella organization of about 3,000 members in Chapters spread across the United States and overseas with Chapters in the United Kingdom and Africa. It began in 1977 as African Christian Students Fellowship but was later changed to African Christian Fellowship, USA, to accommodate no longer students. An organization that started with some visionary university students grown to produce some of the best Christian professionals and body of Christ in all life works. Besides the young adults, children of the organization's elder members are actively carrying on the legacy passed on to them to be earnest Christians, productive and law-abiding, and shining the light of the glory of God into the communities they live.

Welcome to the African Christian Fellowship, New Orleans Chapter

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16
Beloved family, friends, and welcomed guests from near and abroad—whether you are a lifelong member or visiting our website for the very first time, I am deeply honored to welcome you all.
When you look at ACFNOLA today, you are witnessing a miracle of multiplication. What began in 1991 as just four Christian families gathering in New Orleans living rooms has blossomed into a profound spiritual legacy. Today, that same fellowship has produced some of the most dedicated Christian professionals and servants in the body of Christ.

As I step into the role of President to oversee the affairs of this beautiful chapter, my heart is moved not just by where we have been, but by who is walking beside us now.
We are watching with joy as our young adults and children actively take up the mantle. They are earnest, law-abiding believers, passionately shining the light of God’s glory into the communities where they live and work.

Together, we are bound by four sacred pillars: Reconnecting with the continent, Building Bridges, Building the ACF Family and Community, and Passing the Legacy.
This is more than an organization; it is a family. We invite you to explore our vision, share in our fellowship, and join us as we continue to build bridges of faith, hope, and love.
Walk with us. Grow with us. Shine with us.


In His Grace and Service,
Dr. Patience Obih
President, African Christian Fellowship, New Orleans Chapter (ACFNOLA)
