OUR FAMILY

ACTS NETWORK

JOIN THE ACTS NETWORK

Acts 12:24 Churches NETWORK is open to church planters and pastors who are interested in joining our shared mission.

Joining the Acts 12:24 Churches Network opens the door to a vibrant community united in purpose and mission. This is a relational network for people seeking partnership and collaboration in spreading God’s word. In Acts 12:24, we are reminded, “the word of God continued to spread and flourish.”

By joining, you not only become part of a supportive network but also play a crucial role in a larger movement that echoes the early church’s mission of spreading the Gospel locally and globally.

AFFILIATE WITH ACTS and the FMC

Acts Network Churches may consider deepening their connection with our region and denomination.

The Acts N.E.S.T. is the pathway for emerging churches to grow into a full society within the Acts 12:24 Churches Conference and the Free Methodist Church.

Our Process is a four-stage journey to a solid and healthy transition blessed by God and mutually affirmed.

stage 1

Connection

In this stage, the church initiates ministry relationships in the life of the conference. The NEST agreement declares their intention to become a member of the Acts 12:24 Churches and the Free Methodist Church.

STAGE 2

Organization

In this stage, established churches confirm that they have healthy organization structure in place. Emerging churches begin to organize the proper systems and structures necessary to stabilize the work.

STAGE 3

Participation

In this stage, the church demonstrates consistent participation in Acts 12:24 structures and systems. We get to know one another and build relationships, “Ministry advances along relational lines.”

STAGE 4

Celebration

In this stage, the church transitions out of the N.E.S.T. and gains official status with the Acts 12:24 Churches Conference and the Free Methodist Church.

LOOKING TO CONNECT?

We are convinced that, “The kingdom of God advances along relational lines,” so we believe a conversation about collaboration over a cup of coffee is a great place to start.
