Anchorage City Church Ministries
Children's Ministry
Anchorage City Church has an exciting ministry to and
with the children of our congregation. We have classes
beginning with 2 & 3 year olds. There is a Kids Church
program for ages 4
 through
the fourth grade, and a 5th & 6th grade class as well.
The 2 & 3 year olds begin their class at the same time
as the church service starts and the rest of them begin
right after the offering is taken.
For children up to 2 years old, we also have a nursery
that is staffed by responsible childcare providers. We
have excellent, committed teachers and assistants for
each of these age groups and the students really enjoy
the meetings while they learn lessons that will guide
them throughout their lives. We do everything we can to
make sure that our children's programs are completely
safe for your children, while providing an atmosphere
that they can enjoy. So bring your kids to church, and
let us help you train them for God’s purposes.
Lindy Irwin is the director of ACC's Children's
Ministries. For further information contact the church
office. TOP

Christian Life School of Ministry
Christian Life School of Ministry (CLST) is a school for
the Body of Christ! This ministry’s primary commitment
is to serve the local church and leadership by enabling
them to educate and prepare Christians for Kingdom
service. If you are interested in studying the Word of
God to earn anything from an associates degree to a
D.Min. or just for your own enrichment, CLST offers
unique scheduling to allow you to accomplish this. If
you are working full-time, you can still receive quality
education through CLST.
How is this done? We offer weekday and weekend courses.
Each course is only one month in duration. You can take
as few or as many courses as your time permits. The
weekend courses are put on one weekend per month. You
prepare on your own before the start of the classes and
after the training weekend is done you take the test
home with you, turning it in when its complete. It’s as
simple as that.
Jim Strutz is the dean of of our local CLST learning
center. You can call him at the church office for more
information. TOP
Men's Ministry
Our mission is to build life-giving relationships that
will encourage and strengthen men in their journey to
know and walk with God. We recognize that God is able
and willing to do immeasurably more in our lives than we
can ask or imagine. Our expectation is that whenever we
get together with a focus on God, God will encourage,
help and enlighten us. Our goals include sharing and
drawing from each other’s gifts and life experiences. A
variety of activities are available such as: Weekend
retreats, Men's Night Out, small focus groups, prayer
groups, service and ministry activities, and
overnighters for men to pray, fast, share, and worship
together.
In addition, there is a men's prayer breakfast every
Wednesday morning at 6 a.m. ACC's Men's Ministries are
directed by Jim Lamson. Call the church office for more
information.

Women's Ministry
 ACC
Women’s Ministry is a place where women are equipped for
service and nurtured through mentoring, teaching, and
community outreach. We look forward to gathering for
times of fun, fellowship, learning, and giving of
ourselves to help others in need.
Meetings are held monthly on the last Friday of the
month, with special events scheduled frequently.
Remember, we as women have great potential for service
in a variety of ways. Come with us and see what God can
do in and through you.
ACC's Women's Ministries are directed by Janice
Ridgeway. For more information call the church offices.

Welcome Team Ministry
We at Anchorage City Church desire to be good hosts to
the Holy Spirit and to all who come to ACC. With
that as a focus during our services, we have small teams
of people (called Welcome Teams) who are practicing the
art of being gracious and inviting to whomever enters
our building. The Welcome Teams are a vital
ministry to the church, aiming to leave a positive
impact with everyone who walks though the doors of the
church. This ministry puts forth the church's
personality and attitude, important as first time
visitors often evaluate a church by their first
impressions. Team members are encouraged to show
caring and friendliness as they shake a hand, touch a
shoulder or give a warm hug.
Team members may be found assisting people across a
slippery parking lot, cheerfully greeting folks as they
enter, handing out announcements, taking the offering,
helping people find seating, serving communion, and
assisting with coffee and refreshments in the church
foyer. Each team usually serves for one service
every four or five weeks and is an excellent way for
folks to meet new people and have fun ministering
together. For more information on how you can be
involved, please call the church office.

Motorcycle Riding
Anchorage City Church
Ministries
Motorcycle Riding
Anchorage City Church has
been involved in outreach to
the motorcycle community for
a number of years and
joined with other motorcycle
organizations to
initiate the annual Bike
Blessing in 2004. The event
takes place the 1st
Sat in May and has attracted
as many as 850 motorcycles
to our parking lot. It is a
great way to bridge the gap
between the various biker
clubs and the church
community.
We also began twice-monthly
prayer rides to ride and
pray for our city a few
years ago. This year we
have partnered with Black
Sheep Harley-Davidsons For
Christ, as our motorcycle
outreach arm to reach the
biker community. This was
an easy fit as many members
(including the chapter
leadership) are and have
been actively involved in
ACC. Their mission
statement: “to introduce
Jesus Christ to the world of
motorcycle riders, for the
purpose of making more and
better disciples through the
ministry of the local
church” is our desire as
well.
Our Tuesday evening rides
are open to Christian and
non-Christian riders of all
makes of bikes, whether
ridden by males or females,
young or old. Our ride
focus is prayer & unity as
we enjoy each other’s
company, the beauty our Lord
has created for us and of
course---food & fellowship.
Ride Dates: May 6, 13, 20,

 We
meet in the parking lot of
Anchorage City Church
located at 100th and
Minnesota at 6:30 PM for the
Tuesday rides. Rides will be
cancelled only if it's
pouring down rain. Our rides
are usually 2 - 3 hours or
more depending on which way
the wind is blowing. Please

(344-2141) if you would like

Building Strong Marriages and
Families
We want to help church family and also friends we don't
know yet in the community around us to develop strong
marriages that build strong families. The enemy
strikes hard at families because they are the
foundations of society. We want Anchorage to be
the city with the lowest divorce rate in the country!
We offer
marriage and
pre-marriage courses and help for couples with problems.
