At ACI we believe that hallelujah: (Praise the Lord) must be the every day language of a child of God, no matter what season of life they’re in. Exciting Praise and Worship to us is a lifestyle of expressing our love and adoration for our Lord Jesus Christ.
To us polite applause is empty praise!
Praise is not just a request, it is a command; Praise is not merely an art-form but the attitude of a grateful heart.
We worship God as He is: “A LIVING GOD” – who enjoys and inhabits the praises of His people.
Our Services begin with soul stirring and spiritually inspiring Praise and Worship that ushers in the glory and presence of God, preparing our hearts to receive His life changing Word and activating our faith for the demonstration of His power.

Our Youth Movement is dedicated to equipping young people with knowledge and life skills relevant to their day to day experiences. We see our youth as leaders of tomorrow and our commission is to groom and develop them for future leadership both within and outside the church environment. We teach biblical truths that help them live victoriously as young Christians in their often challenging social environment.

Our young adults’ ministry are a key feature of our church and an important area of focus for us. With countless stories of displaced, marginalised young people who are increasingly at risk of violent crime and with poor prospects for the future, we believe that the church has an important role to play to restore hope, aspiration and encouragement to young people in the community.

The report of increase in mental challenges with the youth has given the church a holistic approach with intention to go further from where we were to engage and interact with the young ones in more social activities like sports, talent shows and talent building.

Our church has a vibrant congregation of young adults who are challenging and redefining the status quo of Christian living. Five core pillars underpin the young adults’ ministry: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Community & Character and Economic (SPICE) advancement. Underpinned by biblical teaching, these practical pillars aim to enable Christians to lead well-rounded lives that are a true reflection of the fullness and abundance promised in Christ.

Two Notable events held in recent years include:
1. Faith & Finances – an “E” pillar event, held successfully at the KPMG in Canary Wharf to economically empower Christians to make an impact in our communities.

2. Our Young Adults team proudly won a 2-church tournament, King of Kings Football showdown, held at the Paddington Recreational Grounds for the Community. Food and drinks served after the event enabled both teams to socialise with members of the community who came to watch the match.

As a vibrant, multicultural church, we take the opportunity to celebrate our various cultures with an annual international day. Pre Covid, we had the pleasure of hosting the High Commissioners (and representatives) of Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Nigeria for our International Day celebration. The theme was Diversity, taking inspiration from 1 Timothy 2:14. Together with the Clergy, Children, and Youth, we learnt about different countries, their food, national attire, cultures and Christian expression through dance, song, and drama. We also had the company of our local parliament Labour Party councillors of the Maida Vale ward, Nafisika Butler-Thalasis and Rita Begum when our main branch was based in Maida Vale.
