Why criticism of the church should stay in the article
206.71.234.163 reverted the article back to this version, stating the WP:ONUS on keeping information in was on those trying to include information, hence this discussion. In short, the sentence noting controversies should stay (and, if anything, be fleshed out into a paragraph as seen here because controversies makeup a significant part of the coverage of this organization in reliable sources, which we should follow per WP:WEIGHT. That sentence included citations to Christianity Today, The UC San Diego Triton, and Wired, or three of the four citations in the article at that time. Mach61 13:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

- Please explain to me how the current state of this article exists
primarily to disparage or threaten its subject
, which is what an attack page is. It contains one sentence, which is sourced, that mentions anything negative about the organization. Mach61 23:00, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

August 2024 edit war
Looks like there has been an edit war on this page! According to the View History page, the war began August 1, 2024 when user KnowledgeExplorer42 replaced the entire article text with unsourced propaganda. User Mach61 responded, then 19 more back-and-forth edits occurred.
Today, I have restored the antebellum text. The most recent version was the August 7 version. This version contains uncited and poorly-cited information. It leaves the article in a worse state than it was antebellum, so I have decided the antebellum text is better than the August 7 text, and I have restored it.
If I may make a suggestion to all the big Wikipedians in charge here, I have a gut feeling that the organizational subject of this article is upset about being covered in Wikipedia. In response I would propose protecting and watching this page to prevent future mischief. That's just my suggestion. Percurrent (talk) 15:57, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Updating Intro Paragraph
| Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
- Specific text to be added or removed:
| − | Acts2 Network is a Southern Baptist | + | Acts2 Network is a Southern Baptist collegiate church planting network, part of the North America Mission Board's SEND Network. [1] As of 2024, it has churches in 35 US cities. Originally founded as Berkland Baptist Church in 1981 by Rebekah and Paul Kim, it went independent from the Berkland network of churches in 2006 under the leadership of Ed Kang and renamed to Gracepoint Fellowship Church. In 2023, it rebranded as Acts2 Network to better reflect its identity as a network of churches [2]. |
- Reason for the change: The updated paragraph involves a few improvements.
- Updating the description of Acts2 Network as a network of churches instead of a single church.
- Updating the description of Acts2 Network as part of North America Mission Board (NAMB)'s Send Network
- Adding the leadership of Ed Kang since 2006.
- Re-phrasing a bit of the wording to make the text flow better.
- References supporting change:
- [1] Can pick any of these sources
- [2] https://www.christianitytoday.com/2022/09/gracepoint-berkland-asian-american-church-discipleship/

Edit request: Add brief book citation to History section
| The user below has a request that an edit be made to Acts2 Network. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Summary of request: Add brief sourced mention of Acts2 Network in a disciple-making book The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 619 requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
Disclosure: I am affiliated with Acts2 Network / the church discussed in this article, so I have a conflict of interest. I am requesting review rather than editing the article directly.
Requested location: Please add the following sentence at the end of the History section, after the sentence: “In 2025, Acts2 Network launched a training center in Elgin, IL.”
Proposed text: Acts2 Network was included among the churches and networks examined as “Level 5” disciple-making communities in Bobby Harrington, Josh Howard, and Mason Eagle's 2026 book 7 Practices of Disciple Making Churches: New Research on What Works in North America.Harrington, Bobby; Howard, Josh; Eagle, Mason (2026). 7 Practices of Disciple Making Churches: New Research on What Works in North America. Renew.org. p. 45. ISBN 9781959467557.
Rationale: This is a brief factual mention of Acts2 Network’s inclusion in a published book. The proposed wording does not add a new section, does not use promotional language such as “successful,” “leading,” or “one of the best,” and is intended to fit chronologically within the existing History section.
