ADULT MINISTRIES
We have something for everyone at ACC! Check out all of our different adult ministries below.
Helping Us Grieve & Serve - This is a weekly group for widows, widowers, and anyone experiencing grief upon the loss of a loved one. We meet at the church on Tuesday evenings at 4:30pm.
The Garden Ministry was started with the purpose of growing people, connections, and meeting needs through good healthy, sustainable food sources.
Future plans include an expansion of the garden and a community outreach program.
ACC's Men’s Breakfast is held at the church on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 8am. The breakfast is a great time for food, fellowship, and a short devotional from one of the ACC men. We have special gifts for all men on Father's Day. Our (MEN)toring Men's Fellowship Group consists of events for men and boys ages 12+ to provide fellowship and mentorship opportunities.

The Antioch Christian Church (ACC) Security and Safety Ministry aims to provide a safe place for worship without worry. A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions; the simple goes blindly on and suffers the consequences (Proverb 22:3). Although we should never allow fear to dictate our response, our responsibility is to take the necessary steps to create a safer house of worship for those who gather. The Security and Safety team's tasks include proactive risk assessments, safety training, medical training, disaster preparedness, promoting a healthful lifestyle, and providing ongoing active security and medical emergency coverage during Sunday morning services and other prominent church activities. Please pray for these shepherds of the flock, and if you are seeking a ministry to support ACC, consider joining our team to help us establish a place for worship without worry.
ACC has a variety of ministries for women of all ages. We offer occasional women's Bible studies. The Ladies’ Card and Prayer Ministry meets at the church every Tuesday morning at 10am to send cards of encouragement, sympathy, prayer, appreciation, and/or gratitude. Additionally, there are several annual ladies’ events, including a fun Christmas event held each December at ACC. We also have special gifts for all ladies on Mother's Day. Please check the ACC calendar or contact us for a current list of events, dates, times, and locations.
We have two praise teams (one for our Traditional Service and one for our Contemporary Service) at ACC. If you like to sing, play an instrument, or have another technical skill (sound, lighting, stage, etc.), please contact us.
