All About ACC:W

We find that deep relationships start with getting to know one another. Whether you intentionally searched out ACC:W or you stumbled across our site, we hope you enjoy discovering who we are. If you are hoping to attend our service on Sunday mornings, please feel free to check the “What to Expect” link to get a taste of what you will find when you come check us out.

If you are a history-buff and would like to read the story of where we come from and how our mission began, check the “Our Roots” link to get a glimpse of our past and present. Also, you will find the Vision of what we have come to do in Wheaton, IL and around the world and the Values in which we plan to accomplish the vision we carry so deep in our hearts.

At ACC:W, our vision is to Love God, Love One Another, and Love those who don’t know Jesus.

Nothing produces passion in the human heart more than when God’s love is encountered in a tangible way. Our desire is to be that tangible way in our city! When all is said and done and we look back on the course of our lives we want to be able to say that we lived with passion for Jesus and his purposes in the earth.

Values are the internal compass of someone’s life. At ACC:W, our values are:

1. Devotion (Mark 12:30, Matthew 4:4, John 4:23, John 17:3)
2. Making Disciples (Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 24:14, 2 Timothy 2:2, Mark 8:34,35, Luke 19:10)
3. Community ( Acts 2:42-47, Matthew 18:19-20)
4. Prayer (Mark 1:35, Matthew 6:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19, James 5:15,16)
5. Fasted Lifestyle (Mark 9:29, Matthew 4:1-3, Matthew 6:18, Matthew 9:15, Isaiah 58:6-11, 2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

We believe that Jesus’ values could easily be recognized by what he spent the majority of his time teaching and doing. His devotion and intimacy with the Father is what drove his passion for reaching those who were far from God, making them into whole-hearted disciples who relied on the Word of God and the Holy Spirit (Just as Jesus did), gathering them into close-knit, life-on-life community, teaching them to bring heaven to earth through prayer and surrendering to God through a lifestyle of fasting and generous giving. We want these to be our internal compass at Antioch.
