Renowned marriage coach and pastor Pastor Funmi Olubakin, respected family life practitioners Mr. and Mrs. Sho (Gbemiga and Christina Soname), and international event host Debby-Julie Tosan have been confirmed as speakers and moderator for the Kingdom Marriage Conference (KMC) 2026, a gathering designed to equip singles, engaged couples, and married couples to build Christ-centred marriages rooted in purpose.
Scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 18, 2026, the annual conference is convened by Mr. Victor Ayoola and Mrs. Deborah Ayoola under The Godly Marriage Tribe. This year’s theme, “Partners in Purpose: Marriage as a Platform for Kingdom Assignment,” will challenge participants to see marriage not only as a covenant of love but also as a divine partnership established to fulfill God’s purpose on earth.
The conference comes at a time when many couples are seeking biblical guidance for navigating the realities of marriage while remaining anchored in faith. Through sound biblical teaching, honest conversations, and practical insights, Kingdom Marriage Conference seeks to help couples strengthen their relationships while discovering God’s purpose for their homes.
Delivering the keynote address is Pastor Funmi Olubakin, Co-Lead Pastor of Supernatural Life Church Global, certified marriage coach, professional counsellor, published author, and founder of Life of Bliss. Widely recognised for her ministry to singles, intending couples, and married couples, Pastor Funmi has equipped thousands with practical and biblical wisdom for building healthy, thriving marriages. She is also the convener of Blissful Wives Club and the author of eight books on marriage and family life.
Joining her for an interactive panel session are Mr. and Mrs. Sho (Gbemiga and Christina Soname), respected relationship coaches, family life practitioners, counsellors, and authors. Through conferences, coaching, counselling, and resources such as The Countdown Devotional and the Countdown to Your Big Day Bootcamp, they have helped countless couples prepare for marriage, navigate family life, and strengthen their relationships through practical, faith-based teaching.
The conference will be moderated by Debby-Julie Tosan, an international event host, writer, and speaker known for facilitating engaging conversations that inspire learning, reflection, and meaningful action. Her experience in moderating conferences and creating memorable audience experiences is expected to enrich the discussions throughout the event.
According to the conveners, this carefully selected lineup reflects the conference’s commitment to providing participants with practical, biblically grounded conversations that address both the spiritual and everyday realities of marriage.
Speaking ahead of the conference, Victor Ayoola said the goal is to help couples recognise that marriage is more than companionship.
“Marriage is one of God’s greatest institutions, but it was never designed to exist for the benefit of two people alone. When husband and wife understand that they are partners in purpose, their home becomes a platform for ministry, influence, discipleship, and transformation. That is the message we hope every participant leaves with.”
Deborah Ayoola added that the conference is designed to create an environment where participants can grow spiritually while gaining practical tools for everyday life.
“Healthy marriages don’t happen by chance. They are built intentionally through learning, mentorship, and a shared commitment to God’s purpose. Our prayer is that every person who attends will leave encouraged, equipped, and inspired to build a marriage that reflects Christ.”
Kingdom Marriage Conference 2026 is open to singles, engaged couples, and married couples who desire to strengthen their relationships and build homes that honour God and influence generations.
Registration is now open.
