Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel, make disciples, and baptize in my name." The gospel is His story. Our story is all about sharing Him to the PEOPLE OF the GREATER LOS ANGELES metro.

Acts Church was birthed out of a burden for the millions of lost and broken souls in the Los Angeles region. In September 2012, our founding pastors, David and Monique McGovern along with their daughters took a step of faith and moved back home to Los Angeles to plant a spirit-filled, bible-teaching church. They began teaching bible studies in the living room of their home in Glendale. On Easter of 2013, Acts Church of Glendale was officially launched, and in 2014, Sunday worship services were launched. In 2018, the Acts Church team began working on planting a second church in Los Angeles, and the McGoverns became Metro Missionaries to Los Angeles. The AC Network was established to resource, train, and support potential church planters, and to plant new churches around Greater LA.

One church with a BIG vision for our amazing city.

About the Gospel

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection).

About Christian Living

As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.

Acts Church is made up of people. People like you. The psalmist wrote that we were "born in sin, and shapen in iniquity". We all were. Every single one of us. It doesn't matter what your zip code is, it doesn't matter what car you drive, we are all sinners in need of a savior. At AC, we value people. Plain and simple. Our church is comprised of Angelenos from all walks of life, all cultures and ethnicities, all education and income brackets, all generations... together in one place. Because, Jesus.
