We are in a time of transition, with plans in motion for electing a new ACOP President. As ACOP Trustees, we are sensing the need to seek God in a special way, and are asking if you, , would join us in a communal act of humility, obedience, and faith.

"While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.' So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them..." (Acts 13:2-3 NIV)

By coming together through prayer and fasting, we demonstrate our dependence on God and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit's leading. We desire this transition, election, and succession to be deeply rooted in prayer.

On the 15th day of every month, leading up to the Presidential Election next May, would you create a sacred space in your busy life to seek the Lord without distraction, and join us on these corporate days of prayer and fasting?

Fasting is a personal commitment to the Lord (decide if you'd like to fast one meal, or the whole day), but with obedience and faith, your commitment to fast demonstrates the urgency and seriousness of our prayers as ACOP Family. We desire to move forward with Grace & Hope, and long to see God's choice for our next President fulfilled.

We trust you'll join us, .

Your ACOP Trustees

The 27th Pentecostal World Conference (PWC) is being held in Helsinki, Finland from June 4-7. Themed “Go and Make,” this triennial gathering of the Pentecostal World Fellowship (PWF) will bring together participants from 97 nations as well as a host of leaders from across the Pentecostal and Charismatic Church around the world.

“It is a profound honor to serve the global Spirit-empowered community through the Pentecostal World Fellowship,” said Wilson. “The Spirit-empowered church continues to be the fastest-growing movement in Christianity, and the PWF stands uniquely positioned to advance unity, catalyze global evangelism, and champion a new wave of Pentecostal revival. I am deeply humbled by the trust of these remarkable leaders from around the world. With the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray we will witness a multigenerational surge of spiritual renewal and, together, help bring the Gospel to every person on earth in fulfillment of the Great Commission.”

The general sessions and workshops of the PWC can be viewed via live stream here.

A couple came to our church early in the year; the husband struggles with severe PTSD from serving in the armed forces. Over the first three months of being in church, he experienced more freedom than he had in the previous 5-10 years seeing numerous specialists and doctors.

As a couple, they have since given up all addictions, said farewell to old friend groups, and have devoted themselves to growing in their relationship with God. They are quickly developing into key leaders in our church. We love how God changes lives!
