What's going on at ACC?

Joseph modeled a quiet, steady obedience. He trusted God even when the path was confusing. His faithfulness helped protect and nurture the coming Messiah.

Mary didn’t have all the answers, yet she trusted the One who called her. Her obedient “yes” opened the door for God to work a miracle through her life. Advent reminds us that God often moves through simple, willing obedience.

John the Baptist prepared hearts to receive Jesus. Advent is our reminder to clear the clutter from our souls—confession, forgiveness, stillness—and make room for Christ.

Jesus is the Light of the World—but also the Light for all nations. Long before His birth, God promised a Savior who would open blind eyes, free the oppressed, and shine into every corner of human darkness.

January 25th, the churches in Ashland are joining together to Stock the Pantry for families in our community.

Hey students in 6th–12th grade — this one’s for YOU! AYG is heading to the Zeal Momentum Youth Conference 2025 at the BoS Center in Springfield, and we want YOU to come with us!

Join us in the Fellowship Hall for our monthly all-ages movie night—complete with hot pizza, fresh popcorn, and great community time!

We’re forming a community-wide, all-girls discipleship group (Mpact Girls Ministry) open to all churches and denominations. Our heart is to help young girls grow in their love for Jesus, build strong friendships, and develop confidence in who God created them to be. 💖

Over the past seven days, more than 200 people from eight churches joined together to circle our town in prayer, believing that God could bring freedom and hope.

Today we were blessed to welcome Anticipation Ministries for a powerful afternoon of music and ministry. From the first note to the final chorus, the room was filled with an unmistakable sense of joy and peace as voices were lifted in praise to our Savior.

We’re incredibly thankful for people like Doug who quietly use their talents to bless others. When you come by this Sunday, take a moment to notice the refreshed doorway — and don’t forget to thank Doug for making our church home a little brighter!

Join us for a powerful 7-day prayer journey inspired by the biblical story of Jericho (Joshua 6). Each day, we will walk 1 lap around our designated path, praying for our community, families, schools, churches, and nation.
