About A.C.T.E.
 
Born out of a group of high school drama students that desired to use the theatre arts to reach the local community for Christ in 2001, A.C.T.E. has grown to also include artistic opportunities for Christians throughout the region to express their gifts and at the same time, providing excellent live entertainment from a decidedly Christian worldview to the community.
