The Aurora Christian Ministry Network (ACMN) was born with the help of a small group of clergy and lay leaders in the fall of 2004 after several initial meetings at Lifespring Center. On October 7, 2004, the group decided on a mission statement and a name for the group and set the date for an inaugural meeting.

ACMN by monthly meetings and a network support structure hopes to meet the urban challenges that face churches, organizations, clergy, and individuals.
