| *The ''Zionsharfe'' (''Zion's Harp'') is the primary [[hymnal]] used during worship services. The ''Zion's Harp'' was assembled in the 19th century by a European elder, George Michael Mangold, and includes numerous hymns written by him, along with other hymns not generally used in other American denominations. Most of the hymns are either traditional Amish/Mennonite hymns or from the 19th-century Swiss state church. It is a good source for English metrical translations of Amish [[Ausbund]] hymns. Because the Apostolic Christian Church of America and the Apostolic Christian Church (Nazarene) were separated before both sides began using English in worship services, the ''Zion's Harps'' used by the two denominations have lyrics somewhat differently translated from the German. A slightly different translation is also used in the Christian Apostolic Church. | *The ''Zionsharfe'' (''Zion's Harp'') is the primary [[hymnal]] used during worship services.

| *Another hymnal used in church services, the ''Hymns of Zion'', includes arrangements and lyrics more commonly used in other denominations, but also includes several written by members of the American congregations. This hymnal was created as a combination of other hymnals previously used in the ACCA Churches, The ''Heft''(Long Book)(which is included in the ACCN's Zion's Harp), and ''Songs of Praise and Worship''. These books were selections of classic, and modern Hymns at their time of publishing. The ''Hymns of Zion'' was published around 20 years after ''Songs of Praise and Worship'' to combine the two. This step merged the current Sunday School and Sanctuary secondary hymnal into one, while adding new songs that had become popular in the 20 years between the two books publications. Starting around 2002, many ACCA churches have transitioned from the ''Hymns of Zion'' to the new "combined hymnal" which is a combination of the ''Hymns of Zion'' and the ''Tabernacle Hymns.'' The latter was used by several churches, and the combination served to keep the church united while keeping both sets of hymns in use. Some churches still use the ''Gospel Hymns'', or ''Heavenly Highways'' in the sanctuary, but most use them as Fellowship Hall books. | *Another hymnal used in church services, the ''Hymns of Zion'', includes arrangements and lyrics more commonly used in other denominations, but also includes several written by members of the American congregations.

| * In 2023 the ACCA published a new hymnal, the ''Hymns of Worship'' that includes selections from the time the ''Hymns of Zion'' was published to today, along with some classic hymns from the ''Gospel Hymns'' and ''Heavenly Highways'' that were not included in the ''Hymns of Zion''. This Hymnal is in Sanctuary use by several ACCA churches, others are using it for singing in the home only, and others due to the contemporary style music and biblical inaccuracy of some of the songs are not using it at all.<ref>https://www.onwardmedia.org/</ref> | * In 2023 the ACCA published a new hymnal, the ''Hymns of Worship'' that includes selections from the time the ''Hymns of Zion'' was published to today, along with some classic hymns from the ''Gospel Hymns'' and ''Heavenly Highways'' that were not included in the ''Hymns of Zion''.
