The Local Church is God’s Plan A

2026 ACME West Conference

It’s easy to treat the local church as one good option among many for growing as a Christian – as something that’s helpful, but not essential. Yet Scripture tells us otherwise. The local church is God’s Plan A for making disciples and reaching the nations, for Jesus.

Therefore, we invite you to recapture the wonder of the local church at our upcoming ACME West Conference, November 13-14. During our time together, we’ll work through the eight ACME Affirmations. These affirmations helpfully summarize the New Testament’s teaching about what the local church is and is to be about, including:

Historic baptistic ecclesiology
Expositional preaching
Meaningful membership & discipline
Elder-led congregationalism
Biblically-oriented public worship
One, unified assembly
Church-centered missions & evangelism
Reformed soteriology

This is a conference for equipping pastors, church leaders, and members to consider God’s great purpose for the local church in advancing disciple-making mission in the world. We hope you’ll join us.
