Community Impact:
A.C.T.S. is a ministry of Autumn Ridge Church in Rochester, Minnesota. We exist to serve others and share God’s love in our community and around the country.
We believe that God calls us to love others through actions, not just words. Jesus showed us by example that loving someone means serving them; helping out when you see a need.
At A.C.T.S., we seek to serve our community in any way we can, from partnerships with para-church ministries, home repair ministry, emergency relief teams, kitchen ministries, school mentorship program and more, we are trying to meet the needs we see in the lives of people around us.
“If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.”
1 Corinthians 13.
