ActsSocial is a free social platform from Trinity Proximity built so gratitude rises and outrage does not. There are no ads in the feed, no anonymous accounts, and no sale of personal data.^1 Anyone can join, while the company itself publishes a statement of faith affirming the inspired Scriptures, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, and the sanctity of life.^2
Phone-verified, real-name accounts gather around a neighbor-first feed, prayer requests, and groups moderated by real humans around the clock.^1 Short-form video called Real Acts is scanned for AI deepfakes before it reaches a feed.^3 Minister-written daily devotionals include streak tracking, and you can now pick up where you left off, save favorites, and find devotionals matched to what is on your heart.^4 A Bible reader offers twelve translations across ten languages. Quiet News curates five Christian stories a day. An Events hub lets churches list services and gatherings with RSVP, and ActsTV streams live Christian channels around the clock, with past episodes to catch up on.^4
Churches, locally owned businesses, and nonprofits get free pages for sermons, events, and listings without boost fees.^3 Individuals pay nothing. The company says it relies on God's provision and optional premium features for local businesses rather than ads.^2 A merchandise shop at merch.actssocial.com is live.^5
Founder Shawn Whitson began the work after a December 2022 prompting he could not ignore, and the name comes from Acts 2:42 to 47, where the early church shared life together.^6 In an October 2026 interview he put it this way: "I had a prompting from the Holy Spirit that would not leave me alone. I started building the next day."^6 The Values page still tells that story.^2
"I'm not religious. I was skeptical. Turns out the only thing different is people are nicer. That's the whole thing." — an ActsSocial user, quoted on the App Store page^4
