In ACTS, you will learn all about the book of Acts and the essential components of the Gospel. We will explore the keys which were critical to the expansion of the early church.

This eight week course will take the learner on a personal journey toward:
- discovering their place and purpose in the kingdom of God,
- finding the potential that is embedded in obstacles,
- understanding how to be an overcomer in the testing of their faith,
- gaining skill in their ability to intentionally grow the kingdom.

Key Benefits Of This Course
By taking this course on the book of Acts, we believe the Holy Spirit will ignite in you a fire to be His witness.
This course gets right to the heart of addressing the misunderstanding of of your identity in Christ. It will help you become fully aware that you have been called to be a witness.
We typically think the Holy Spirit is for us. The Holy Spirit knows we are for Him. This course is not just going to teach you about having power or leveraging that power to feel good, but rather a key benefit of this course is learning how to operate in your divine purpose.
Another key benefit of the ACTS course is to build your confidence in walking in your purpose and identity. It will help you understand what you were created for and how knowing that gives your life a purpose. It gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning because there is a job to do. It will teach you how to embrace the storms of life, to find the opportunity in obstacles, and how to be an overcomer.
This course was created to help you understand how to bring the Kingdom of God into whatever sphere of culture you are involved in and gain the tools you will need in order to become more effective in your walk with Jesus, your ministry, or your business.
