We’re characterized by theological clarity, cultural engagement, and missional innovation. Because we believe church planting is the best way to make disciples of all nations, Acts 29 is committed to planting healthy, multiplying churches. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603e7cae21cb2552f073f639/t/604a31da502a932a6cfc1d91/1615475177663/IMG_3201.JPG WHY ACTS 29? - We believe the church is God’s primary mission strategy on earth. Therefore, being faithful to the Great Commission’s call to make disciples means being passionate about church planting. Our focus on planting and nurturing faithful churches makes Acts 29 distinct. Local churches stand as a trusted presence in a community, offering hope and help amid trials and tragedies, proclaiming Christ, and seeing lives and communities transformed by his gospel and for his glory. God’s glory in all the world is our motivation for global church planting. As we plant more healthy, multiplying churches, we advance Christ’s kingdom on earth. This is the beauty of church planting. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603e7cae21cb2552f073f639/t/604a329b4821d24413af5e40/1615475391014/125530419_10158020532102198_2632786554355517164_o.jpg WHY ACTS 29? - We are aligned with historic evangelical confessionalism, and hold five core values: Gospel centrality in all of life The sovereignty of God in saving sinners The work of the Holy Spirit for life and ministry The equality of men and women and the principle of male servant leadership The local church as God’s primary mission strategy https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603e7cae21cb2552f073f639/t/604a32e87fb17021824a7925/1615475453326/118714788_3259296064123751_1399597448390480763_o.jpg WHY ACTS 29? - Come what may, Christ’s gospel goes forth, and the church perseveres. Despite the craziness of 2020, Acts 29 planted 25 new churches worldwide! We’re a global community of disciple-makers. We pray, go, send, give, proclaim, train, assess, and support so more will know and worship Jesus Christ as his glory fills the earth. And the uncontainable glory of the Lord is spreading as we’ve reimagined what planting healthy, multiplying churches looks like. Read about God’s work through Acts 29 to establish his church in places like New York, Washington, Italy, India, Ohio, North Carolina, Australia, Colorado, and Minnesota—and be encouraged! https://www.acts29annualreport2020.com/notes-from-our-leaders daily 0.75 2021-03-26 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603e7cae21cb2552f073f639/t/60523a7a19a7497269fbf108/1616001667488/Artboard+1.png NOTES FROM LEADERSHIP https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603e7cae21cb2552f073f639/t/6051398992e19e78fbd95a99/1616003882208/43918794124_497167965d_k.jpg NOTES FROM LEADERSHIP - “Our God is worthy, and our mission is urgent.
