The ACT Parish is...
A ministry rooted in the words of Acts with seven mission points spread out and impacting communities in Swift, Kandiyohi, and Chippewa Counties in Minnesota. Each of our mission points has a long history of faithful witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Together they form the ACT Parish Cluster that strives to maintain and grow these faithful witnesses, and to impact our area with the good news of God's grace for all!

ACT Parish Prayers...
Please contact either of the Pastoral Staff or our Parish Nurses if you wish to be included in the published Parish Prayers or on the Prayer Chain. Hospitals DO NOT notify clergy when patients are admitted EVEN if the patient has listed a church or pastor on their registration forms. Persons will remain on the prayer list for one month or until they have returned to worship, unless otherwise requested. (Initials behind names indicate ACT Parish church affiliation. No initial indicates friend of the parish/ community member) |
