Our Purpose

Why ACME Exists

ACME exists to unite and mobilize a group of churches to further the gospel and interest of Christ in the world.

ACME stands for the Association of Churches for Missions and Evangelism. Our goal is straightforward: link like-minded churches together so they can know, encourage, and strengthen one another—and share resources for Great Commission work.

What ACME Seeks to Do

  • Unite like-minded churches across geographic, ethnic, and denominational lines.
  • Gather churches into a family of fellowships.
  • Lead churches to share resources for Great Commission work.

How ACME Accomplishes Its Mission

  • Focus on and rally around eight key distinctives.
  • Bring churches together for Great Commission strategy conferences.
  • Pool financial resources to fund select initiatives.
  • Build partnerships with like-minded parachurch ministries.

Biblical Basis

Know & Encourage & Strengthen & Share

Healthy Churches Know & Encourage Each Other

The early church sought to know one another. When churches understand how they are doing, encouragement follows—and hearts are strengthened. Scripture reminds us to know, encourage, and exhort one another in love.

Romans 16:16 · Ephesians 6:22 · 2 John 12

Healthy Churches Strengthen Each Other

True encouragement requires doctrinal fidelity. Churches are strengthened when disciples are built up to withstand trials—supported through fellowship and continued faith.

Acts 14:22

Healthy Churches Share with Each Other

When churches know, encourage, and strengthen one another, generosity becomes the natural fruit of selflessness. Sharing resources supports gospel work and helps those who labor for the sake of the name.

Acts 13:22, 29 · 3 John 7–8

Why ACME?

See What Our Friends Have to Say

"We want to partner with churches — we'll partner with Anglican churches, with Presbyterian churches, with Bible churches, with non-denominational churches, certainly with Baptist churches. If they preach the gospel and they're clear on that, we will partner with them."

Mark Dever Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC

"Acts 29 is a theologically church-planting network, but ACME is sort of like another layer — a little smaller, tighter circle. We want to plant churches and support churches and do church work that aligns with those distinctives."

Adam Sinnett Downtown Cornerstone Church, Seattle, WA

"We're a small church — less than 100 people in Decatur, Alabama. We will never plant a church in that part of the world on our own. But as we partner with like-minded churches through ACME, our little bit of money goes a really long way for gospel endeavors."

Sean DeMars 6th Avenue Community Church, Decatur, AL
