Featured Ministries & Events

Everyone is invited to the Prayer Walk on September 5 from 8:30–9:30am at the church. A prayer walk is a simple, purposeful practice that aligns each step with God's heart for His church. Together, we'll pray for the building, the ministries, and every person who walks through the doors. Walk with a group, pray on your own, or sit at the picnic tables to pray. Rain or shine, the Prayer Walk begins in the ACC parking lot.

Everyone is invited to come sing and pray as we seek God together. It's a beautiful opportunity for all ages to be encouraged and refreshed. Let's gather at the church with expectant hearts, ready to see how God will move as we worship Him!

Wednesdays | September 16 - November  11
In Jesus' teaching on kingdom citizenship, He challenged His listeners then and challenges readers now to think differently about what it means to follow Him. In this 9 week study, explore the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' longest recorded message, as a complete unit rather than in fragments, and learn how a disciple of Jesus thinks, speaks, and acts.
Learn more about times, locations, childcare, and how to register for the study HERE.

College Students - You Belong Here!

We know being away at college can make you miss your family, friends, and church community. That's why we want to stay connected with you - not just during the school year, but through the summer and holiday breaks, too. Together, we'll build last friendships, encourage one another, and grow deeper relationally and spiritually.

If you are a college student, let us know by emailing Claudine. 

Baptisms are a big deal in the life of a Christian and the church! If you or someone in your family is interested in learning more, please email Pastor Scott.

Advance will celebrate Child Dedications on Sunday, September 13.

Parents are the primary disciple makers of their children. We love celebrating and cultivating the partnership between home and church which is highlighted during Child Dedication services! It is humbling and exciting to see parents publicly declare their desire to raise their children in the gospel. By doing so, they are inviting the church to assist them along the way.

If you would like to learn more about baby/child dedications, please email Heather.
