Centered in Christ
Building Connections
Sharing God's Love |
|
This phrase appears on various conference publications and is central to the vision of ACC.
As a supplement to face-to-face greetings and conversations, we'd like to develop a more robust online church profile to help build connections and show how we share God's love. The profiles will represent each congregation on our web page and can be easily introduced on our facebook page, in addition to linking to your church's webpage.
Help those from other church families get to know yours by filling out the form at this link, which we will use to create an introduction for your church.
