Partner with ACTS
Our students actively advance God’s Kingdom – from teaching and preaching the Holy Scriptures to serving their churches and communities. Saint Paul the Apostle called the faithful to the preaching of the Gospel by generous giving (2 Cor 8). In the same way, ACTS is now calling for cheerful givers to expand the preaching and teaching of the Gospel through theological education.
