2026 Lincoln-Reagan Dinner

Our annual dinner gala is our premiere fundraising event of the year! Please join us on Saturday, February 21, 2026 and help support the cause of conservatism in Orange County. We expect this event to sell out, so get your tickets early!

Pastor John K. Amanchukwu Sr. is an influential preacher, author, and activist who spreads God’s truth zealously and without fear. Along with serving his local church in North Carolina, John travels nationally to speak, preach and confront school boards, for which his notoriety has spread coast to coast with 300 million + views on videos of his now famous challenges to woke school board officials. From the battles on the NC State football field to the current-day culture wars, John is a fearless defender of Biblical justice.

John will be speaking on the state of education in North Carolina. You can watch an interview of John on The Megyn Kelly Show here [WARNING: graphic language].
