Our Story

Pastors Daniel & Pamela Beard have been residents of East Ridge since 2009. Daniel and Pamela after pastoring an established church for a few years outside of the city they called home felt God calling them to plant a church in East Ridge. It seemed like just a dream to them, but soon their dream became a reality.

With the help of The Crossing Chattanooga and a launch team of about 25 people who had committed to seeing this dream become a reality, this church began having regular Sunday Morning worship services on January 10th 2016. Over 100 people attended our first Sunday Morning worship service in a remolded garage that could only seat 66 people located on Ringgold Rd. From the first service we knew that we would need more space to fulfill all that God was calling us to do in East Ridge.

From the beginning Action Church has been focused on reaching out to the non-churched community and those who had been in church at some point but had found themselves out of church for what ever reason. In addition to that, Action Church has been committed to doing outreach in East Ridge and nearby communities thru acts of service and/or benevolence. Thru outreach and Sunday morning worship services, Action Church continues to meet new people that become part of the family. We would love for you to be part of that family too.  

By the end of 2018, Action Church was able to acquire a larger building to support its growth in both people and ministry now located at 707 S. Germantown Rd. It is without a doubt that Action Church will need to acquire a larger space or build something as the church and ministry has continued to grow over the last several years.
