Prayer is where it started
A group of pastors frequently pray for the city and for the church in the city.
- Our vision
Together for Amsterdam
A movement of the whole Gospel, by the whole Church, for the whole City
ACCL believes that we need each other to show more of God's Kingdom in Amsterdam. Churches, leaders, and Christian organizations each have their own background, tradition, and calling. It is precisely this diversity that makes the Church rich. At the same time, we believe that we can mean more when we know, appreciate, and support one another.
That is why ACCL brings people together. Not to eliminate differences, but to strengthen connection. We believe that collaboration arises where relationships grow, and that collective impact begins with mutual unity.
"
Seek the peace of the city where I have sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because in its peace you will find peace.
Jeremiah 29:7
A network of networks
ACCL stands for Amsterdam Council of Christian Leaders.
We are a network of networks. A place where leaders, churches, ministries, and Christian organizations meet, inspire, and support one another.
Meeting one another builds trust. Trust fosters collaboration. And through collaboration, we can achieve more together than any of us could alone.
We believe that God works through relationships. That is why we consciously invest in connecting people, churches, and organizations.
Together, we form an ecosystem of God's mission in Amsterdam, where every church, organization, and believer can grow and flourish in their unique calling.
Our goals and belief
Inspire: we share the inspiration that the Kingdom of God is good news for Amsterdam. We explore what the mission of God's Kingdom means and how, in our context, this can touch the people of the city. We share stories, insights, and experiences that help us learn from one another.
Connect: we bring leaders, churches, and organizations into contact with each other and build lasting relationships among leaders in the city.
Support: we encourage collaboration and help initiatives grow that contribute to proclaiming the gospel and God's work in our society.
We believe that unity is not an end in itself. Unity makes visible who Jesus is. It strengthens our testimony and helps us serve one another and build God's Kingdom together.
Not because we are the same. But because we belong together.
Our invitation
ACCL is not an organization with members, but a movement for the city. ACCL invites leaders in Amsterdam to take part in this. As a church, organization, or ministry, you can join! ACCL wants to encourage and empower you to inspire, connect, contribute, and help work together towards God's vision for the city.

May they all be one… so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
