4.1 Why Is ACOP Called a Fellowship?

[Melany]

I believe it is a movement as when you look at what a movement is, ACOP does seem to meet the criteria, even if it is called, and functions, as a fellowship

I think ACOP could be called a movement. Albeit one that doesn't effect the change to the degree that we would like, I do feel we are taking steps in the direction to be a cause for greater impact.

The ACOP is a movement. We are a group of people who share purpose and values and desire to change our world together. Epic, Bible College, Online courses, open door retreats, conferences, grow days, and joint services are some of the ways the ACOP has provided resources, invested in people and provided opportunities for networking. I look forward to seeing what God is going to unfold as we continue to come together.

I think I would consider ACOP to be a movement, as they seem to meet the various components of the definition. I also believe the ACOP to be on the cusp of exponential growth. With initiatives such as NewChurch and ECO, I believe that barriers are coming down that once stood between the people and ministry.
