THE CHURCH OF ACTS
Pastor Bryon Akerman and Family
On a long drive back to Oklahoma, Pastor Bryon and Abby Akerman felt the call to plant a church on the southwest side of Oklahoma City. This began a year long journey of praying, fasting and searching God’s will. There was one goal: Simply BE the church, while giving God every opportunity to show off.
The Church started with 5 people on a Saturday night in a borrowed space from a pastor friend. From the start, the vision was to get rid of the things that didn’t matter and bring more focus towards communion with Jesus. The goal was to continue the foundational practices of the early church, while embracing the modern styles of today. This approach to church planting led to slower growth in numbers, but deeper growth in spirit.
Fast forward to today, God is bringing people from all over the city on a weekly basis to join in our mission of simply becoming devoted followers of Jesus! Come and experience the presence of God for yourself and simply be the church.
Pastor Bryon and Abby have three kids; Brandon, Jaida and Makiah.
