What is ACF? Adventist Christian Fellowship (ACF) is Georgia-Cumberland’s ministry to Adventist students on public college and university campuses. Its mission is to:
•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.

Helpful Context: College is a major time of transition. Some Adventist students choose to attend a public institution for financial reasons. Others are seeking degrees in areas not offered at an Adventist school or wanting to do research with professors who are actively involved in the research arena. And there are students who have attended Adventist schools all their lives and are ready for a change. For each of these students, ACF can serve as a place of connection—connection with others of similar beliefs, connection with God, and ultimately, connection with the community around them in a way that assimilates their faith into their everyday lives.
More interest in ACF is being generated all the time and work is being done to develop groups on the various campuses throughout North America. One of the major needs of ACF ministries is local church members who are willing to get involved and be a consistent welcoming presence in student’s lives.
If you are interested in learning more about what that would like in your church or if you know Adventist students who attend these schools and would like to know more about what is happening on their campuses and how they can get involved, contact Michaela Lawrence Jeffery at 865.522.3193 or
