Join us on April 18 for the 2015 ACC Spring Assembly Celebration. During this day we will hear from Jason and Vonetta Storbakken about their ministry with the Bowery Street Mission and Radical Living community in New York City along with Brian Miller and Emily Ralph about the ministry of Sunnyside Mennonite Church in Lancaster.  We will then spend time together reflecting and developing a vision for missions and ministry as a conference going forward. 

Congregations may send two delegates for the first 100 members and one delegate for each additional 100 members or fraction thereof, along with one youth delegate. This is in addition to credentialed leaders and sitting committee members, who are automatically designated as delegates. Please make special effort to send a youth delegate and additional youth participants, at least for the morning session, as there will be a separate youth program after we hear from the speakers.
