The ACTS 29 Network, once the undeniable powerhouse in the Church Planting universe, has significantly declined in the last ten years. Pastors Chase Davis and Matt Patrick speak openly in this American Reformer piece about the root causes of this abysmal failure among the leadership and what eventually led them to leave the Network.

Chase and Matt exposed the video interaction where they were officially disfellowshipped from the network. Since then, God has blessed their labors in Boulder, CO, and the Network continues declining significantly and turning the leadership over to woke ideologues. As Chase observes in the article:

Acts 29 was always committed to gospel-centered ministry, complementarian theology, missional innovation, Spirit-led pneumatology, and Calvinist soteriology. However, the scandal-plagued organization has failed to meet the needs of the hour with grace and truth. Churning through leaders and tolerating ⁠trans ideology⁠ in pulpits, this once strong church network has outkicked its coverage, losing the moral clarity our times of disorder and particular depravity demand and the courageous conviction it once possessed. Constant board turnover, network realignment, and bloated bureaucracy speak to an organization building the plane as it flies rather than instilling confidence and stability in its member churches. This is a fascinating interview to give you a summary of the past, present, and future of ACTS 29.
