4.1 Why Is ACOP Called a Fellowship?

[Alissa Carlton]

I feel as though ACOP is moving towards being a movement. I fell athough through programs such as EPIC, grow days, regional and national conferences, and even now Street Invaders, there are more opprotunites for ACOP to become deeply intertwined. Although I feel that there is not totally one clear direction that ACOP is moving it, we are making strides toward this

I would say from my perspective ACOP is a movement. I have seen it provide resources, provide networking opportunities, and have shared goals. I have especially felt how the ACOP has a very family based feel to it. There is definitely a sense that all members are focused on key goals and have very deep and important relationships with one another.

Perhaps ACOP is not a movement in the sense of directly falling into the definition of what a movement is. But I think if we look at ACOP as a fellowship who are being actively used to further God mission for the world, then we are most certainly a movement. I believe the reality of being used by God is far more important than to fit the descriptions we humans put before ourselves. I think we are a movement, maybe just not “that” type of movement.

Fellowship is a good thing, because we are encouraged not to forsake our assembling together, emphasizing the importance of meeting regularly to encourage and uplift one another. From this we also get community and a family.
