Laying the Foundation of Faith

As we take this step of faith in building a home for Alpha College for Theological Studies (ACTS) on a 5,000-square-meter lot in Kaysakat 3, Area B San Jose, Antipolo City, it is essential to clearly identify the project's purposes and goals. This will not only guide us as an institution but also allow our supporters and partners to understand why this project is worth their time, resources, and prayers.

The decision to build is more than just about creating physical structures. It is about laying a foundation for a ministry that will impact countless lives for generations. Here are our key reasons for building:

• Equipping Future Leaders:
  The mission of ACTS is to raise and train Christian leaders, pastors, and ministry workers who will faithfully serve churches, communities, and nations. The facilities we plan to build—classrooms, worship halls, libraries, and dormitories—will become the training ground for these leaders to grow in their faith and ministry skills.
• Creating a Holistic Learning Environment:
  A physical campus allows us to create a space where students can experience both academic excellence and spiritual growth. A well-designed campus will foster a sense of community, reflection, worship, and learning that cannot be achieved in a purely virtual setting.
• Establishing a Legacy of Faith:
  Buildings are not just temporary structures; they represent an enduring legacy for future generations. By investing in these facilities now, we are preparing for a future where ACTS can continue to impact the world for Christ through its graduates.

The vision of ACTS extends far beyond its campus. We are deeply committed to making a positive and lasting impact on the local community and surrounding areas. Here’s how we plan to do this:

• Spiritual Enrichment:
  Through partnerships with local churches, outreach programs, and community Bible studies, ACTS will bring spiritual revival and growth to the people of Antipolo and beyond.
• Empowering Local Leaders:
  ACTS will train local individuals to take on leadership roles within their communities, churches, and organizations, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to lead with integrity and vision.
• Educational and Vocational Support:
  ACTS will serve as a center for theological education, offering accessible courses and training for those in ministry and those aspiring to join. We also aim to provide opportunities for personal and professional development, helping community members improve their lives.
• Outreach and Service Projects:
  Students and faculty will actively engage in outreach programs such as feeding programs, livelihood training, and other acts of service that address the tangible needs of the surrounding communities.
• Economic Impact:
  The construction and operation of the campus will provide job opportunities, attract visitors, and contribute to the local economy.

As stewards of God’s creation, ACTS is committed to ensuring that our building project aligns with principles of environmental care and sustainability. We believe that respecting and preserving the environment is not only a practical responsibility but also a biblical mandate. 

• Eco-Friendly Infrastructure:
  Our goal is to construct buildings that are environmentally sustainable, using materials and designs that minimize our carbon footprint. This includes incorporating natural lighting and ventilation, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient technologies.
• Preservation of Green Spaces:
  We plan to allocate significant portions of the 5,000-square-meter lot to green spaces, such as gardens, trees, and landscaped areas, creating a serene and peaceful environment for worship and learning while contributing to the ecological balance of the area.
• Environmental Education:
  ACTS will integrate environmental stewardship into its curriculum, teaching students and faculty about the importance of caring for creation and how this aligns with biblical principles. This way, we raise a generation of leaders who are conscious of their responsibility to the environment.
• Community Eco-Projects:
  The ACTS campus will serve as a hub for community-led environmental initiatives, such as tree-planting drives, clean-up campaigns, and workshops on sustainable living.
• Partnerships for Sustainability:
  We will explore partnerships with organizations, local government units, and private entities that share our vision for environmental care and work together to implement best practices.

The ACTS building project is about more than bricks and mortar—it is about building lives, impacting communities, and glorifying God. By identifying our purposes and goals, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a space that equips leaders, serves the local community, and reflects our responsibility to care for God’s creation.

We invite you to be part of this journey. Together, let’s build a future that honors God, transforms lives, and leaves a lasting legacy for His glory.
