On June 15, 2008, Anchorage Vineyard Christian Fellowship is merging with Anchorage City Church. Both congregations will begin meeting at ACC starting on that date. We at ACC are excited to welcome our brothers and sisters from the Vineyard!
Senior Pastor Richard Irwin will lead the combined churches. Pastors Roger and Pam Schoeniger will come on staff at ACC and will continue to serve in the newly united ministry in those areas of their passion and gifting. Other staff and ministry leaders will also be integrated into the combined fellowship.
Pastor Irwin has written a congregational letter about this exciting development and you can read about it online here. You will also be able to listen to Pastor Irwin's message on this via the web or iTunes by May 30th.
There will be a Q&A meeting about the integration on May 29 during the regular Thursday evening service at ACC.

Tell Us About Yourselves!
In a big church like ACC, it's great to have a church directory to be able to locate people. It's been awhile since we published the last edition, so we're working on a new one. Also, we have improved our systems for storing vital information about families and individuals within the church, and we are working to update that.
We have designed an ACC Life Information Survey to provide all kinds of important information about yourself. Even if you don't want to appear in the directory (there is a way to "opt out") we would like to have some basic information about you.
We will have copies of this survey available at the church all during June, and we expect to have our new directory ready in early July. If you want to get a jump on it, you can download and print out the forms and drop them off at the church on Sunday. Already filled it out at an ACC activity or class? You're good to go; no need to fill it out again...thanks!
