About the ACPA

On May 1, 2013, leaders from eight church planting tribes and networks gathered with a commitment to learn from one another and communicate the distinctives and goals for each of our local networks. That initial gathering was seasoned by grace and opened the doors for collaboration. While each network remains committed to its own unique theological traditions (though each of us has affirmed the Lausanne Covenant), we have discovered that we agree on some really important things, the most important being a love for the Atlanta region and a shared desire see the Gospel planted here! Actually, the things on which we agree far outnumber those on which we don’t so we have decided to work together toward a few shared goals.

Small Group Connections

ACPA Board Members facilitate small group learning communities periodically.  These are are a great way for church planting network leaders yo deepen their friendships while growing together in their skills.  Email Jon at pastor.jonspellman@gmail.com to get connected to a group.

Alliance Quarterlies

The purpose of the quarterly onsite gathering is for ACPA participants to share learnings from their cohorts, celebrate accomplishments, discuss major objectives, and determine next steps. Another value/emphasis of the quarterly is relationship and partnership. Prayer is a key component of our time together. Each quarterly is hosted by a church within one of the ACPA networks and includes a meal together.  Keep an eye on the homepage for the next dates and locations.

Network Leaders’ Retreat

We gather annually for a 24 hour retreat which included spouses. This is a time for church planting network leaders and spouses to rest, relax and recharge while deepening their relationships cross netaorks.  This retreat is offered by the ACPA free of charge for church planting network leaders!  Keep an eye on the homepage for this year’s details!
