Missions & Outreach
Our church is dedicated to providing financial support of local, regional, national, and international projects, programs, and people. We also encourage, sponsor, and support the active participation of members of ACC in making connections and establishing bonds with all God’s children outside of our congregation, with particular focus on nourishing the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual body of all God's creation.
