ACF Ontario
“Reach The Campus, Change The World!“
What is ACF?
Adventist Christian Fellowship (ACF) is the official organization of the Ontario Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for Public Campus Ministries on non-Adventist college and university campuses. This ministry is hosted within the Youth Ministries Department and has 15 chapters across Ontario. Within the North American Division (NAD) of Seventh-day Adventist's, including the US, Canada, Bermuda and Guam, ACF is a network of over one hundred chapters!
Our Vision
Reach The Campus, Change The World!
Our Mission
Build Christian fellowship chapters on non-Adventist campuses that honor God and nurture the spiritual lives of students.
Engage students in the mission of the Church through relational evangelism and Christ-like student fellowships.
Empower local ACF chapters, churches and sponsors through pastoral support, professional training and access to resources.
Who Are We?
This is a ministry led by students, made up of students and is for students. Our focus is to create safe and vibrant community on secular campuses across Ontario in order to be witnesses of Jesus and reflections of His infinite love & flawless character! The college & university years are a time of transition. Students are expected to achieve independence and maturity. They make friends, develop skills and form values that shape the rest of their lives. Developing a faith in God that is vibrant and personal is an important part of this journey.
Not only is ACF a safe community, but it is a mission field. We can be the hands, heart and feet for Jesus on our public campuses in a tangible way. If we make Jesus known on our campuses in a manner that is palpable and experiential, then non-Adventist students will know Jesus, embrace His mission, get baptized and carry back that everlasting hope to their village, town, city and or community all over the world. This is front line mission work and helps us to advance the work of preaching the gospel to all the world.
For these reasons and many more, ACF serves as a place of connection—connection with others of similar & different beliefs, connection with God, and connection with a loving community.
