Funding the Great Commission
ACME Grants
ACME provides grants to support pastors, church planters and missionaries, training pipelines, properties, and other gospel-centered projects around the world. Ideally, ACME churches will give between 2%-4% of their budget to support this work.
What We Fund

Pastors

Funding church planters and missionaries stepping into spaces where a faithful gospel witness has yet to take root.
Pipelines
Investing in future pastors and church leaders through intentional, church-based training and discipleship.
Properties
Helping churches acquire or renovate properties in hard-to-access places so that they can gather, serve, and bear witness to Christ.
Projects
Strengthening churches and extending faithful teaching to a wider audience.
Past Grantees
Hear From Some of Our Grantees.
