The welfare ministry operates to provide our church members, and particularly those who are recently bereaved or in need of support due to a specific event (e.g. unexpected unemployment) with financial donations and extended fellowship as and when required. This may include hospital visitations and counselling and small financial donations to meet with unexpected costs (e.g. funeral, housing costs). Externally, the welfare ministry runs campaigns to raise cash for local and international charities and runs coffee mornings to invite the local community in for friendship and emotional support. One such social interaction includes teatime with the elderly, physically challenged and the lonely.

Our mission is to reach women in every season and situation of life by providing bi-monthly meetings, workshops, and social opportunities designed to help women of all ages live out the richness of their lives.
Our aim is to provide encouragement, life and prayer support for women going through spiritual difficulties, marital problems, illness, bereavement and any extraordinary burden.
The women’s groups includes
S.A.L.T –Single and Living Triumphantly- A support group for single women
Over 45’s group
Helpmates Fellowship- Empowering and supporting Wives’ and mother’s meet the challenges of marriage, carrier and Motherhood

The focus of the Men’s Fellowship is to develop strong men who can function as God’s ordained leaders in establishing godly government in their homes, at their workplaces, and in the community.
ACI’s Men’s Fellowship is a vibrant ministry that supports men in the church, teaching them about the principles of the kingdom and encouraging them to apply these principles in their personal lives.

By establishing a platform that concentrates on issues that men face daily, men are inspired to rise above these challenges and pursue excellence as a standard. Our objective is for the fellowship to become a supportive environment that touches the lives of the entire church family.

Every Christmas, Action Chapel mobilises the young children in the church and the community to prepare more than 500 Christmas show boxes, filled with gifts destined to less privileged children in Africa via the Samaritan Purse’s Operational Christmas Child project. This project encourages our younger believers of the importance of engaging in international issues with love, practical support and aid.

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.

Our youth and 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.
