ACT UT - Active Christians Today UT

Worship With Us! Sundays 6:30 PM at the ACT UT House

Active Christians Today at the University of Toledo (ACT UT) gathers for worship at the ACT UT Campus House (2018 Bretton Place Toledo 43606) each Sunday night at 6:30 PM. We meet in "The Refuge" (the basement of the Campus House!). Come as you are!

Over the course of this semester, we will encounter worship together as we praise God through song and with messages drawn from both the Old and New Testament. Above all, we will seek to cultivate our life together in Christ at ACT UT by growing stronger in worship and community as a campus ministry family. Join us Sunday night at 6:30!

Come and worship with us! Anyone and everyone is welcome!

Sunday Night Worship Encounter! You never know when the Lord will change your life...

Wednesday nights are busy at the ACT House (2018 Bretton Place Toledo 43606)! We begin with our Free Family Dinner at 5:30 PM. If class or your job is off later, no worries! We'll save some for you!

We prepare a special and sometimes unique meal each Wednesday. We serve everything from the typical (pizza, tacos) to the off-beat (breakfast for dinner, cereal). We will also grill out when possible including everything from pork chops to hot dogs and burgers!

Bible Study begins at 7:00 PM. Are you hungry to grow in your faith? We're the place to be on Wednesday nights! We dive in deep to Scripture to discover what God has to say to us.

Active Christians Today... Who We Are

Active Christians Today (ACT) is a campus ministry on the campuses of the University of Toledo and Bowling Green State University. Since the early 1970's when we were founded until today, we have been focused on bringing the message of Jesus to UT and BG.

We are a non-denominational Christian community that encourages and challenges students to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ. We have weekly worship services, Bible studies, small groups meetings, retreats, cookouts and parties, ministry teams, mission trips, as well as other events throughout the year.

We would love for you to join our community of faith!

ACT at the International Festival September 15

Active Christians Today at the University of Toledo joins with ACT BG for our annual trip to the International Festival at The Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in Perrysburg on September 15 at 1 pm. This is a great opportunity to experience other cultures in a wonderful event filled with food, fun, and friendship. The event itself is free but bring some extra dollars for some of the best food you will ever eat!

There’s something for everyone including a petting zoo, camel and pony rides along with music and bounce houses. Those who are inspired by culture can go on a shopping spree at the bazaar.

Those interested in learning more about Islam can tour the mosque and ask questions about the faith. Following our afternoon, we will have a discussion with our ACT students about what we heard and what it means to us as Christian Believers.

The food is amazing! Stop at each station and ask questions about the food being served: What’s in this? Is there a special occasion this might be served for? Why is this important to your faith or to the country whose cuisine you’re offering? Find out about regional recipe differences, family traditions, and exotic ingredients while making friends and enjoying some extraordinary food.

Some of the dishes being served include: grape leaves, lentils with rice, tabouli, meat pies, falafel, chicken shawarma sandwiches, Turkish coffee, mango ice cream, pakoras (vegetable fritters), samosas (savory stuffed and fried pastries), coxinhas (deep-fried conical meat croquettes), saj (a griddled flat bread), zalabia (a.k.a. jalebi; fried swirls of batter, a bit like miniature funnel cakes, which are soaked in a sugar syrup), and biryani (a celebratory spiced meat and rice dish).

If you don't feel like branching out with some international flavors, there will be plenty of American dishes to enjoy as well.

So what is a "church visit?" Active Christians Today is supported by many individuals and churches. ACT makes many "church visits" throughout the year to see our friends and supporters. These visits allow us to answer questions about our ministries, meet students who are supported by these churches and let individuals know about the opportunities we have on our campuses.
