ACMC CONFERENCES Organized locally, regionally, and nationally each year to help you train your own leaders in world mission. Learn first hand how other churches have dramatically raised their missions interest and involvement, even when budgets are tight and people are apathetic to missions. VISION SEMINARS Available to churches and groups of churches. Led by ACMC staff, seminars are designed to lift vision and help you assess who in your church has the capacity to grow an outreach oriented ministry. REGIONAL STAFF Assist churches with their specific needs by helping them network with other congregations and organizations that are able to share their expertise and advice. Consultation services are available, from a phone call to a complete ACMC missions diagnostic survey.
