Anglican Communications Centre

The Anglican Communications Centre (ACC) is a special set up of the Diocese of Kuching.  It is a centre specially serving in the area of school chaplaincy, youth, children and Christian Education .

For School Chaplaincy, the School Chaplain visits the schools, mainly secondary schools to organize the Christian Fellowship which is part of their school curriculum. It is a blessed ministry because most of the schools the Chaplain visits are not Christian Schools, but open to speakers from churches to speak at their Christian Fellowship in the School Compound. However, most of these schools are in the up-country and the Chaplain often have to travel at night to the various towns to visit the students.

In the area of youth ministry, ACC works together with the Anglican Diocesan Youth Council (ADYC) whenever relevant, in organizing youth activities together. Other times, the Director of ACC travels to the various parishes throughout the Diocese, to organize the youth seminars or to be the speaker for the youth activities in the various parishes. ACC also organize youth leaders retreat or leaders training. ACC organizes the ACC Camp annually at the end of the year .

For children ministry, it is mainly the training of Sunday School Teachers, either at Diocesan level or individual parishes. To date, over 250 teachers have been trained since year 2000. Besides, the ACC also make various trips to parishes, kampongs and longhouses to organize children programmes over the weekend and as well as Christmas programmes at the Longhouses.  

Christian Education in ACC mainly involves with providing resources and materials , giving leaders training and teaching at different conferences and seminars. There is a mini library in ACC of about 700 books, mainly in English and Chinese with few titles in Bahasa Malaysia. Titles include children ministry, sermon outlines, dictionaries, commentaries, Bible Study notes, music scores, resource books on worship, church administration, women ministry, etc.

ACC is planning for renovation, to upgrade its present building and to make a new phase. This serves the purpose to better equip this training centre and to provide better facilities for retreats and seminar training.  We hope the renovation and plans of new building will be completed by the end of 2006.
