 One of our 12 Core Values states that we seek to be "Community-Evaluated". What it means is that the relevance and impact of Acts is ultimately based on what the community at large has to say about us and not what we say about ourselves. We believe that, as an agent of God's love and blessing, we exist to add value to the community God has placed in and around us.
The 5 main causes that we in Acts are guided by are as follows:
- - To ensure that the marginalized society have the basic essentials for a normal life i.e. finances, food, clothing and shelter.
- - To assist the emerging generation with scholarships, grants and loans and also through the setting up of community tuition and resource centres.
- - To provide affordable healthcare to the underprivileged.
- - To promote entrepreneurship and employment throughout all facets of society, especially those lacking formal education and opportunities.
- - To advise on fundamental rights and liberties
Acts Church seeks to assist her community through these 5 avenues, in hope of bringing the love of Christ out of the church, and onto the highways and byways.
Here at Acts, we firmly belief in the spirit of volunteering, as this is the biblical way in serving the community. It can never be bought, only offered - and always only with excellence! ("Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power..." Psalm 110:3). We are also keen in establishing partnerships from within, and without the four walls of the church, in the hope of better serving the needs of the community around us.
Through the Community Care Dream Team as well as AYA, a non-profit youth development organisation founded in Malaysia for the primary purpose of "inviting, inspiring, instructing and involving young people to dare to dream and be responsible in fulfilling those dreams for the good of all", Acts hopes to live out one of the most important commandments Jesus ever left with His Church, that is to "love others as much as we love ourselves".
