City Church Men: See Courageous on Friday, Dec 30

Guys: Anchorage City Church Men's Ministry invites you to dinner and a showing of Courageous, the movie, on Friday evening, December 30, at 7 PM.  You are welcome to bring your own young men (age 13 or older) or other young men as guests.  There is no charge, but donations to defray costs are welcome.  It is not necessary to be part of Anchorage City Church to participate.

Courageous is a landmark film about becoming the fathers God wants us all to be.  It's an exciting, fast-moving story, and we believe it will inspire your heart and encourage you toward  the next steps in your own journey of manhood.

While there is no cost, advance registration is necessary so we can prepare enough meals.  To register, please email and tell us how many are coming (e.g. I am coming and my 15 year old son and his friend are coming).

Please let us know you are coming no later than Wednesday, December 28!

Small Group Winter Semester Kickoff Planned for January 8th

Small groups are an important part of City Church life.  Hundreds of people in our church family are involved in these groups, and if you are not yet, there is a place for you!

On Sunday, January 8th, we'll be highlighting the value of doing life together in the groups and classes that form the small group wing of the church.  There will be opportunities to meet group leaders and find out more about our groups and classes.  We have purposely designed different types of groups to provide many different points of entry into community:
  • Life Together: These are groups with a focus of living the Christian life together in community. They usually meet in homes, and may be short or long term. Groups discuss Christian teaching, the previous week's sermon, or other discipleship materials. 
  • Life Issues: Groups existing to help individuals with issues in life; e.g. single parenting, sexual purity, marriage support, family finance, etc.
  • Life Service: Groups focused on service; e.g. prayer for ACC missions, providing cold weather shelter, food for the hungry, ushers, etc.
  • Life Study: Groups designed to deepen understanding of the Jesus-following life; e.g. study of a book of the Bible or other Christian material. 
  • Life Interests: Groups gathered around a specific interest; e.g. woodworking, hiking, motorcycles, fishing, etc
Many groups will be continuing after the winter break and welcome new members.  Others will be starting fresh.  

Want a preview of our groups?  You can always look on the ACC website for groups that are operating now and are coming together for the coming semester.  Caution: there are more groups coming that are not yet on the website!
Questions about small groups?  Call David Johnson at 907-344-2141 or email acc@accchurch.org
What experiences have you had with small groups that have changed your spiritual life for the better?  You can join the conversation on small groups on our ACC Facebook Page.
