Acts 2 Network
Acts 2 Network (Acts2 Network, a2n) is a Southern Baptist church with a college ministry focus. As of 2022, it was on 60 college campuses and 35 US cities.[1] The church was founded as Berkland Baptist Church by Rebekah and Paul Kim in 1981, in the region of Berkeley, California and Oakland, California. In 2006 it reorganized and changed its name to Gracepoint. In 2023 it rebranded as Acts 2 Network.[1] It serves primarily Asian-American Christians with interest in a faith-centric lifestyle.[2]
The church has been the subject of investigations. Journalists documented a variety of harms, including couples forced to break up, shaming, and overworked covocational staff members.[1][3][4]
