About Us
The Apostolic Christian Church consists of approximately 90 congregations in the United States, Japan, Mexico and Canada. The church also conducts worship services on college campuses in several states.
The major intent of the church is to preach, teach and live the gospel of Christ so that others will hear and respond affirmatively to this message of salvation--and someday, by God's grace, enter into heaven.
The Apostolic Christian Church of Tremont was founded in the early 1850's. Since that time, the church has expanded from services in homes to a newly-remodeled building in 2008.
The current Tremont church membership is approximately 372, with a total attendance of 640.

Vision
A body of believers, bound together by our love for Jesus Christ and his Word, reflecting God’s love, grace, and truth.
Our Vision reflects a functioning church body tightly bound together above all by God, through Jesus Christ, and his Holy Spirit. This bond of love and joy strengthens our church family of strong relationships without partiality. It speaks to a shared desire to edify one another and God’s desire for grace and truth in the church. This is the vision we wish to show all nations and our bond of love motivates everything we do individually and together.

Purpose
To glorify God by loving as Jesus loves.
As a church body called together to reflect God’s love, grace and truth we want to honor God by loving all people as Jesus loves all people.

To do so generates the desire and the ability to share the gospel with all people and to live obedient lives. Loving him means we will fulfill the Great Commission given to his followers and keep his commandments in honor of his love towards us.
