What to Expect
We hope that you will have an opportunity to worship with us in the near future. We're aware of the fact that it can be a little intimidating to visit a church for the first time, so we've created this page to give you some helpful information about what to expect. If you have additional questions, feel free to give us a call at (260) 824-2000.

Praise & Worship

Before Service
ALCC has a weekly worship service on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. We are blessed to have a facility located at 1325 South Main Street (beside Dollar General South) in Bluffton. Click here for a map and driving directions.

Upon your arrival, you will be warmly greeted by new friends excited to make you feel both comfortable and welcomed. The Master's Blend Cafe' is located inside the Worship Center and is open before service from 9:00a.m. until 9:45a.m. and opens again right after service. From 9:35 to 9:50a.m. we have corporate prayer called Prepare the Way in the sanctuary. This is a time to prepare our hearts and pray for the service and our Pastors. The dress ranges from casual to professional. Come as you are - We just want you to join us and be comfortable, whatever your preference may be.

During Service
The primary reason we meet together is to focus our attention on God by giving Him our worship and by receiving His Word. We join together to proclaim Jesus Christ to those who may not know Him, lifting our voices in praise to Him who gives us meaning and purpose in our lives. Worship service at ALCC is always centered around our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sevice It is powerful and meaningful, Spirit-filled with music and practical messages from the Bible. Pastors Scott & Michelle's desire and vision for the people at ALCC is for them to continually mature and to be equipped to do the work of the ministry. Our Pastors believe that every person has been assigned by God to a specific place in the Body of Christ according to Ephesians 2:10 and 1 Corinthians 12:18 and their ministry also involves helping people discover their calling and place in life.

We offer special children’s programming for all ages, from nursery through 5th grade. We are committed to teaching children the word of God in a safe, fun and loving environment.

Welcome Room Teenagers will also find a place to belong while attending our regular worship service and getting involved in 21:4T1 Youth Ministry, on Wednesdays nights. Everything the youth do is centered around knowing Jesus Christ while having a lot of fun!

After Service
You will also have an opportunity to meet and talk to the Pastors or leaders right after service in our welcome room. There is a free gift available to you from our bookstore as well for first time guests.

We invite you to come as you are, leave different than you came, and expect the unexpected.
