ARTICLES OF FAITH . .
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: God, the Father; God, the Son; and God,
the Holy Spirit.
 We believe in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning
death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to
the right hand of God the Father, and His personal
future return to this earth in power and glory.
We believe that the only means of being cleansed from
sin is through faith in the precious Blood of Christ.
We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential for personal salvation.
We believe that the redemptive work of Christ on the
cross together with the wounds inflicted upon His body
at the whipping post provide healing of the human body
as well as salvation for the soul.
We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit according
to the scripture Acts 2:4 is given to believers who ask
for it.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by
whose indwelling presence the Christian believer is
enabled to live a Godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the
lost, the saved to everlasting life, and the lost to
everlasting condemnation.
We believe in baptism of the believer by complete
immersion in water in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the scriptures of the Old and New
Testament as inspired by God and that the Holy Bible, in
its entirety, contains the entire doctrinal belief of
this corporation.
WORSHIP PHILOSOPHY . .
I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you,
O LORD, I will make music. – Psalm 101:1
Singing is not the only way in which we worship God, but
it is an important one. For thousands of years,
followers of God have used music as a way to praise,
worship, glorify, celebrate, and experience God. We at
ACC desire to be a house of prayer and praise, where
people are free to sing and express their hearts before
God, and to experience His presence.
In our worship, we value:
- Creating an opportunity to experience God’s
presence
- Heartfelt, expressive singing to God
- Being authentic (i.e. not putting on a “show”)
- Being multi-generational. We intentionally lean
toward styles of music and overall volume that
appeal to the younger generations while maintaining
opportunities for older generations to feel
comfortable and included.
- Being multi-cultural in our expressions of music
- Modern, culturally relevant and creative styles
of music
- Songs, both ancient and modern, that place God
in the highest place, draw us closer to God and
closer as a community, reinforce sound belief and
doctrine, and are widely sing-able
In our hearts:
- We remember to put Jesus first
- We remember that “it’s not all about us”
- We will prefer others in our worship. Some
examples of how we prefer one another include
respect for other music styles; recognition of
preferences for different volume levels and length
of worship services; and by not being distracting to
other worshippers.
In all things, we desire to love God fully, to love
people genuinely and to share the good news of Jesus
Christ.
