What's going on at ACC?

In this message from Colossians 1, we see that the gospel doesn’t just save us—it transforms us. A life rooted in Christ produces faith, love, endurance, and real, visible growth.

After choosing to follow Jesus, what comes next? In Now What?, Pastor Collin Brennan looks at Acts 2 and shows how a life of devotion—through God’s Word, fellowship, communion, and prayer—is the foundation of a growing faith.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowd celebrated Him as King. They laid down cloaks, praised His miracles, and welcomed Him with joy. Yet many of those same people misunderstood who He truly was. They were looking for a political savior—a conquering king on a warhorse—not a humble Lord who would go to the cross.

Following Jesus isn’t about comfort—it’s about surrender. Many want a Savior, but fewer are willing to follow a Lord.

What does it truly mean to make Jesus Lord of your life?

As we enter March and continue our Bible in a Year journey, Pastor Collin reminded us that spiritual growth often happens in seasons that feel slow or challenging. When reading difficult passages — especially in the Old Testament — we are encouraged not to rush, but to ask why. Every law, instruction, and detail reveals something about God’s character, His holiness, and His purpose for His people.

Pastor Collin shares a clear and timely vision for the year ahead: Equipped — people and place for purpose. Rooted in Jesus’ teaching about building on a firm foundation (Matthew 7:24–25), the message reminds us that a strong church is not shaken by storms when it is built on Christ.

Pastor Collin Brennan reminds us that true joy is not found in favorable circumstances but in a deep, abiding relationship with Christ. As the new year begins—often carrying the same struggles from the year before—Paul’s words challenge us to rethink what joy really means.

Joy Found in Christ continues our journey through Philippians by drawing a clear distinction between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. Paul reminds the church that joy is not rooted in achievements, religious credentials, or outward obedience, but in a living, ongoing relationship with Christ.

As we step into a new year, Pastor Collin Brennan opened a new sermon series in the book of Philippians with a powerful reminder: joy is not rooted in circumstances, but in Christ. Drawing from Paul’s imprisonment in Rome, we see a faith that refuses to be shaken by hardship.

As we closed out the year, Pastor Collin Brennan invited our church family to reflect on a simple but urgent question: Are we ready? Following Christmas and on the edge of a new year, this message looked not backward, but forward—to the promise of Christ’s return. Drawing from Isaiah 62 and Matthew 25, Pastor Collin walked us through Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins, reminding us that spiritual readiness isn’t about appearances—it’s about what’s burning within.

Today, with gratitude and unity, we joyfully share that Collin Brennan has been affirmed by the congregation to serve as Lead Pastor. We also celebrate Ben Reese, who was voted in to serve as an Elder, committing himself to shepherding, wisdom, and prayerful leadership.

Collin Brennan brings an encouraging message titled “Help Is on the Way.” As we move from Thanksgiving toward Christmas, we’re reminded that God specializes in comeback stories—both in Scripture and in our everyday lives.

Join us as Collin brings a powerful Thanksgiving message reminding us of the heart of the season: gratitude grounded in the grace of God. As we head into a week of family gatherings, full tables, and grateful hearts, he took us deep into Ephesians 2 to remind us where true thanksgiving begins. Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday — it’s a lifestyle filled with awe for the mercy God has shown us.

Our Rooted Celebration Sunday gave us the chance to worship together, see cardboard testimonies, and celebrate a public declaration of faith through baptism. What a morning!

This morning we close out our James series. Week by week, James has called us to a faith that isn’t theoretical but lived, a faith that has both feet on the ground. Today, the final theme rises like a steady sunrise over our souls: patience and prayerfulness.

In “Wisdom That Walks,” Collin Brennan continues our series in the book of James, exploring the heart behind conflict and the source of true wisdom. James challenges us to look beyond surface disagreements and examine what’s really driving our words and actions. Is it jealousy? Pride? Selfish ambition? Or is it a humble spirit rooted in God’s wisdom?

What does it really mean to have living faith? This week, Pastor Collin Brennan unpacks James 2:14–26, showing us that genuine faith naturally overflows into action. It’s not about earning salvation—it’s about letting faith in Jesus transform the way we live, love, and serve.

Steadfast in the Storm — Life’s storms are inevitable, but how we respond reveals the depth of our faith. This Sunday’s message encourages us to stand firm, trust God’s promises, and let perseverance shape our character. Discover biblical truths from the Book of James that equip you to remain unwavering when trials come.

When God calls, He also equips. In After the Yes: From Purpose to Presence, Now Empowered, let's see how the Holy Spirit moves.
