Apostolos Campus Ministry International's tradition of word, fellowship, and service traces back to 1992 when the Holy Spirit moved a group of university students to begin meeting for small group Bible studies and witnessing Jesus Christ to their fellow students. As they met together and discussed the Word, the Holy Spirit continuously burned in their hearts and the campus group began what would turn into a history of rapid growth. Spreading their newfound faith in Christ like wildfire, the members of the young group dedicated themselves to evangelizing and soon led many other students to take their faith more seriously. Scores of thirsty souls seeking the Truth discovered deep answers inside of the Bible.

Soon after the surge in growth, the students’ friends from other university campuses became interested in the group. They, too, began attending the Bible studies and learning about the eternal Truth set out in the Word. As they diligently studied and understood more about the deep meaning of the Word, the revitalizing power of the Holy Spirit touched their hearts. Even more students felt compelled to reach out to their campus communities for change. Shining brightly and revealing the passionate light within them, the now sizeable group of students touched more and more universities for Christ. The good news of the Gospel spread to many fascinated students.

The hand of God worked, tying together a net of students across the nation by faith in Jesus Christ. The students realized the need for physical structure and organization. Finally, in the year 2001, student leaders officially launched the new organization, “Apostolos Campus Ministry.” Spiritual victories soon followed and members celebrated the recognition of ACM by the UCLA campus in California. By the grace of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit, the name was adopted by an ever-increasing number of student groups across the nation.

As students still felt the commission to spread the Gospel, ACM overflowed into international territory and began to spread to other countries around the world. Foreign campuses were touched by the Holy Spirit and ACM started to become an international force. ACM International was quickly born.

Today, ACM International actively ministers to campuses around the globe. What began as a mustard seed has expanded into ministries across North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and even the Middle East. ACM International is a non-denominational organization that teaches students how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. ACM hopes that every student on every campus worldwide may come to experience this refreshing relationship, develop, and become a firm believer in God. ACM’s goal is to reveal the Truth as recorded in the Bible and as written on the tablet of student believers’ hearts, and to help as many students as possible understand the love of God as manifested through Jesus Christ who died on the cross to redeem mankind.

Every year, the Holy Spirit shows that it is still working as ACM continues to fulfill these goals while establishing new campus chapters. Following the tradition of the early apostles as recorded in the Book of Acts, ACM’s main focus is to follow the Great Commission of Jesus Christ, running toward the goal of reaching all nations in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
