"restoring and implementing the integrity and authority of the 1st century church"
Join the vision
We are A.C.T.S. Global; Association of Churches, Teaching, and Serving® (ACTS). We are not a denomination, but an association of like-minded churches committed to establish the integrity & authority of the 1st century church.
The path the 1st-century apostles took, that effectively brought the kingdom of God to earth, is the same ACTS Global™ desires to travel. The kingdom of God did not just come back then, but is for today, every day, in every generation.
Every church, regardless of its background or diversity, should witness the same things recorded in the Bible; signs, wonders, healings, and miracles. These were life-altering tools of God to establish the authenticity of His Word. Where are the examples of 1st-century churches today? Where are the elders leading those flocks into greener pastures with signs and wonders following?
God provided not many paths, but one path that worked. ACTS represents the return of churches to the old and good paths that provide rest for the soul.
"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." ~Jeremiah 6:16-17
Maybe you are an elder and a watchman that will walk in the old path! ACTS is for existing elders and churches, as well as for those who are not currently an elder but are responding to a call to serve as an elder.
Perhaps you know you are called to serve as an elder but do not know where to begin. ACTS Global™ could be your place to starting His amazing journey for the Church.
ACTS churches utilize the teaching principles of Be in Health to help develop the care and oversight. The knowledge and understanding of what is behind syndromes and diseases, the possible blocks to healing, and the Scriptural evidence for the prevention of disease are all instrumental in taking care of the Body of Christ. We believe doctrines regarding healing belong in the church and should be overseen by the 5-fold eldership.
"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15
"And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 23:4
What We Believe
In these days, will the Lord find faith left in the earth when He returns? ACTS churches fight to keep the integrity and power of the Word in God's people.
How is the Word of God preserved in the earth?
Through sound doctrine.
Sound doctrine knit with mercy will produce safety in church fellowships, godly order in marriages, restoration in relationships and physical healing to God's people. That is worth fighting for!

Working Together
There is a risk to working together because we have no guarantee everything will work out. At the same time, if we resist stepping out in faith we are guaranteed nothing will happen.
Perhaps you do not know where to start, but you have the desire to begin the journey of helping to care for sheep – we are here to help.
Apply
It doesn’t matter if you do or do not have an educational degree… The only degree God is looking for is ‘HOT’! God only uses the faith and desires we give back to Him. We look forward to knowing what is drawing you to serve Him as an elder.
Once you apply, we will contact you for a dialogue. Please be thorough in your responses.
