Acts 1:8 Approach

The Avenue takes an Acts 1:8 approach toward missions and world involvement. We believe that we’re called to not only share Christ at home but to our city, region, country and the world, too. While some are called to influence those directly next door, others at The Avenue are called to missional living throughout our cities, country and the world.

It’s no small feat to make an impact on our entire Acts 1:8 circles of influence as a church. Several church members feel called to unique ministry areas, and we provide counseling and support to help each individual discern how God is leading them in ministry.

As a church, we also feel called to spread our wings and share Christ through an Acts 1:8 approach. In addition to several service opportunities we take on as a church body, we partner with organizations in each of our Acts 1:8 spheres. The Avenue supports the  following groups through endorsing their ministries and providing resources, volunteers, promotions and financial assistance. Our partnerships are always a work in process as God continues to bring new opportunities for like-minded ministry partners.
