Pastor Olaoluwa Okonkwo
Lead Pastor, ALICC Akron
From a young age, Olaoluwa Okonkwo encountered the transforming grace of Christ — a defining moment that set my heart on a lifelong journey of faith, service, and purpose. Over the years, this encounter has deepened into an unwavering commitment to live out the gospel with authenticity and compassion.
In 2018, She was ordained at Abundant Life International Church, a milestone that affirmed her divine calling to minister the Word of God with boldness and humility. Since then, she has devoted herself to building lives through teaching, mentoring, and community outreach —
guided by the conviction that true ministry is rooted in love, service, and integrity.
She is joyfully married and blessed with a loving family who share in her vision and ministry. Her family remains her first ministry, a daily reminder that the gospel begins at home before it is preached abroad.
Rooted deeply in scripture, her mission is to see lives transformed into the likeness of Christ and to help people discover their God-given potential. Whether through preaching, mentoring, or building programs that promote healing and equity, I seek to inspire hope,
faith, and love through the power of testimony and the truth of God’s Word.
Her ultimate desire is to cultivate spaces where healing, purpose, and intergenerational connection flourish — so that every life touched through my ministry may reflect the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.
