Each Konko Church holds daily prayer services, monthly services, Spring and Autumn Memorial services, Tenchi Kane No Kami Grand Ceremony, Ikigami Konko Daijin Grand Ceremony and conducts other rituals.

Believers in Brazil have been growing rapidly in the last few years. The churches hold bazaars, camp-outs, picnics, barbeques, kids' festivals, and various other activities where believers and non-believers alike can get together, discuss experiences, and enjoy life.
They hold the various activities as follows.
Translation project:
A translation team holds meetings regularly to translate materials from Japanese to create propagation materials in Portuguese.
Human resource development project:
A minister in charge of human resources goes to each church every few months and holds a faith enrichment workshop with young believers and minister's children. Also, an annual believer's conference is held on the day before the Spring Grand Service at the Konko Church of Birigui. A female ministers' meeting is also held annually.
To enrich native believers, the Association sends several Brazilian believers to Headquarters for faith study and training.
