Our Vision:
Relevant Christian Education
As a ministry leadership training program, ACU has a special call to prepare its learners to engage the modern culture with spiritual authority and practical relevance with God’s grace, love and power. ACU integrates its programs with the highest educational standards based on God’s Word.
We at ACU believe that Christians should have a reason for the hope that is within them. We believe that hope is grounded in the most profound truths of all time. We further believe that Spirit-empowered and relevant-thinking Christians will be most effective in ministry, in service, and in vocations that serve the Lord. As an Ames Christian University learner, expect to be challenged spiritually and intellectually by an exciting, relevant curriculum, by high standards of accomplishment, and by excellent faculty members.
* ACU is currently an online only program. We do not have a physical campus. Our administrative offices are located in Fort Myers, Florida.
