WHO WE ARE

Kingdom | Creative | Family

We are a kingdom creative family

We want to see the beauty of art, the responsible usage of creativity, the significance & importance of healthy families enhance the human experience of the goodness of God in all that He has created.

We want to see families saved, household salvations, we believe the family is central to God’s plan for a healthy society, city, nation and world.

We want to see a future where creatives are disciples, daniels, who shine bright in the sphere of influence with the light of Christ.

The story of how ANT got started

ANT Church was started by Ayo & Susan with the same mission.
Our story starts 6 years ago... Strap in.

2017

Ayokunu has an encounter with the LORD with the vision of ANT given to him, this is confirmed by Pastor Joseph Boadu (who had approached him and Susan regarding a vision of church planting) and another prophet shortly afterwards. This is a journal entry from his notes of the vision in 2017.

2018

After Ayokunu received the commission to plant ANT, the following year at a conference Apostle Ryan LeStrange & Naomi Raine prophesied through word and song the name of the church and what God had called Ayokunu & Susan to plant!

2019 - Official Release

The official public release of Ayo & Susan into planting a new church by Pastor Joseph Boadu and CLF Elders on NYE 2019.

2019 - Small Beginnings

ANT was planted on October 6th 2019 and started in Ayokunu & Susan’s flat! Here are is a sneak preview into of our humble days

2020 - Covid

6 months into planting ANT, then covid arrived meaning online church, it was a great time of pivot for ANT, we saw great increase of church attendance.

"COVID was a test of innovation for the church, it was definitely a test of faith for us as new church planters. Something we took on and in hindsight our media background and savviness truly helped."
