ACTS 1:8 InitiativE - OVERVIEW PAGE
The Acts 1:8 Initiative calls for us to minister to our neighbors in the Dayton area, our American family in the United States and our worldwide family. The foundation of our mission work is to make investments now in our world that will plant the gospel in generations to come which will prepare the world for the return of Jesus Christ, The Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
Our goal at Far Hills Community Church (FHCC) is to become a Worldwide Mission Center that follows the command of Jesus. His last words to the disciples were “Go into Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth and share the gospel…” When Christians obey God’s call to tell His story, exciting things happen! We begin to encounter the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of others and we begin to see the world change - one life at a time.
 Thus far, our initiative has stretched from Dayton to the ends of the earth. We have fed the homeless of Dayton, provided emotional support to young couples coping with unwanted pregnancies, led Bible study and fellowship for incarcerated men, participated in rebuilding the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, provided financial support to allow for teaching English in another country and digging water wells in Africa. This initiative of sharing the gospel embraces the heart of God, which brings about a transformation of our own lives as well as those we strive to reach.
FHCC is about obeying God’s call and the mandate He gave us in Acts 1:8 “…you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem (Dayton), Judea and Samaria (Ohio and the US) and to the end of the earth (all other countries).” We desire to become equipped so that we can use our distinctive ways to share the love of Christ.
