About Us
Club ACTS originated in the heart of
Church of ACTS Sr. Pastor Bill
Jenkins, in Indianapolis, Ind. Pastor
Bill realized that we were telling students what they
should not do but not providing a safe alternative. So
God birthed Club ACTS in August of 2003
Club
ACTS was first started in a warehouse building on
Werges Ave. with a few pool tables and video games.
The first night of Club ACTS drew 75 youth, quickly
growing to hundreds of teens every Friday night.
Club activities
include a D.J., MC, non-violent rap music, hip hop and contemporary
Christian rock music, pool tables, foosball tables, arcade and video
games including Playstations and Xbox 360, ping-pong tables, 3-on-3
basketball, volleyball, food, fun and much, much more.
Each week we also present a 15-minute positive message through
drama, dance and computerized technology.
Core Beliefs
- Senior High and
Junior High students are important to God. (1
Timothy 4:12)
- Teenage years
are a crucial time of decision making; 85% of
people who become Christians do so before the
age of 21.
- Spirit of
excellence and high standards are essential to
youth ministry. We must be connected to teens.
They do not want to be connected to a ministry
that is outdated and irrelevant.
- All of our
programs must fit into the mission statement of
the Church of ACTS ministry.
- The Bible is the
inspired Word of God.
- One God existing
in three persons: namely, the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
-
Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and raised
from the dead.
- We must repent
of our sins, believe in our hearts and confess
with our mouths that Jesus Christ is our Lord
and Savior, to receive eternal salvation through
the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
- Water baptism by
immersion, and that it is symbolic of the death,
burial and resurrection of Christ.
- Baptism of the
Holy Spirit.
- The gifts of the
Spirit are for the body of Christ today, such as
tongues, miracles, healings, etc.
- Deliverance from
any demonic strongholds through the power of
Jesus Christ.
- God has a plan
for your life and wants to use us for building
and establishing His Kingdom.
