Social media doesn't have to chip away at your peace. ActsSocial is a Christ-centered social platform built for believers who want real community — not algorithms, ads, or toxicity — where neighbors, churches, and Christian creators connect around faith.^1
Founded by Shawn Whitson after a prompting from the Holy Spirit in December 2022, ActsSocial launched globally in June 2025 after drawing over 100,000 waitlist signups and securing $3.5 million from faith-aligned investors.^2 Built on the blueprint of the early church in Acts 2:42–47, the platform features a social feed, a prayer wall for sharing and responding to prayer requests, community groups (public and private), Christian-centric news from trusted sources, local church and business directories, an events calendar, a job board, and dedicated sections for Christian music artists and content creators.^1
What sets ActsSocial apart is its commitment to local community alongside global reach. Local businesses get free listings to connect with Christian consumers in their area, and churches can promote services, share sermons, and build their digital presence — all at no cost.^1 The platform avoids algorithmic content delivery, doesn't harvest user data, and shares no data with third parties.^2
