Innovation Grant

ACS is a church-based ministry and has been serving communities within the NAD for the past 50 years.  During this time, ACS have developed a level of competency that has led to us being leaders within these areas of service.  ACS will continue working within these areas but will now look to expand the ways we serve within our local communities. Additionally, we encourage our ACS leadership to work with other ministries within the church and other groups to include governmental and nongovernmental partners that have shown interest in collaborative efforts.  This will require that we incorporate additional knowledge, skill and ability that will enable us to serve in a new way.
