A Message from
the president of ACTS

Thank you for taking the time to browse through the ACTS online catalog of our Education Programs.

As you read through the contents, we hope that it is very clear that we at ACTS are committed to teaching and training the next generation of world changers. We believe that as we look at history, we become more aware of the vital role we play in shaping the future of this great country.

To walk where our forefathers walked, to kneel and pray where they prayed, to read their writings and understand their ideals, will forever impact the lives of your students - the next generation.

Having the honor of serving Christian schools for over twenty years, we continue to "run the race" with more excitement and passion than ever before. We believe this is a time to challenge young people to stand up for truth and declare dependence on the Almighty and His divine providence.

This is a time to challenge young and old alike to know where we came from, and therefore, know where we are headed

ACTS is committed to excellence. As charged in His word, we strive to "do all to the glory of God." We believe that you will find every aspect of this company, from our highly trained staff to our outstanding financial protection, to be simply the best. We are pleased to have an opportunity to serve you and look forward to our role in teaching and training the world changers of tomorrow...for such a time as this.

May God bless you in your service to Him.

Sabrina Carlson,
President, American Christian Tours

American Christian Tours is a company that desires to honor God and proclaim Christ.  We believe that we were placed here for "such a time as this" to educate people of all ages to become world changers by teaching historical truths and imparting personal responsibility to contribute to the success of their communities, our nation, and the world. 

In doing so, we will strive for excellence in the service we provide to our member schools, expand those services to new members, create a supportive, caring work environment where
staff members are valued for the gifts and talents they contribute. 

We will maintain these goals through godly integrity, excellence, and commitment among ourselves and for those we represent and serve.

The History and location of ACTS

ACTS first offices were in a small, one room office that was part of a mini-storage warehouse.  ACTS second office was in a new retail center.  Both were in Palm Springs, California.  In 1987, ACTS moved to Rancho, California and had approximately 1200 square feet of commercial office space.  In 1988, the company headquarters moved to Rice Lake, Wisconsin, planning and building a new 8000 square foot building.  The corporate office has been located in Rice Lake since that time.

ACTS has enjoyed growth almost every year of its existence.  ACTS currently employs about 25 full time staff, and approximately the same number of part time seasonal staff, hired as our tour leaders.

Since its beginning, ACTS has safely taken many tens of thousands of Christian school students, teachers, and parents on educational travel programs to our nation's capitol of Washington, D.C. and other destinations.

ACTS is America's oldest organizer of education tour programs to Washington, D.C. working exclusively with Christian schools.

ACTS provides excellent programs from a distinctly Christian perspective. Your students, and perhaps more importantly, their parents and your school's administration and board can rest comfortably knowing your trip is being operated by Christians, for Christians.

American Christian Tours consistently works with school groups from all over the United States - California, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and all points in between.  We work with several schools that come from as far away as Hawaii and Alaska. 

People frequently ask us where Rice Lake is located.

The main office of American Christian Tours is located in the City of Rice Lake in beautiful northwestern Wisconsin. We are about 1.5 hours northeast of Minneapolis/St. Paul and about 45 minutes north of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

To the east and south of Rice Lake are rolling hills covered with family farms, small towns and villages. To the north and west of Rice Lake are thick woods and clear cool lakes.  The City of Rice Lake has a population of about 8,500 and provides a regional market of about 65,000 with retail, medical, and professional services.
