Anderson First Students is meeting on September 27th for youth group. AFS is for people in 6th-12th grade to find a place to learn, serve, and have fun together. We currently worship and serve together on Sundays at 10, and on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month from 11:15-1:15, we gather in the Youth room. During our time together, we play games and use Nua curriculum to lead discussions about the Bible and how it applies to our lives.

If you’ve got any questions about the Student Ministry, feel free to reach out to Ally Hall, our Director of Family Ministries. Also, make sure to follow us on social media so you don’t miss any updates or events! We can’t wait to see you all there!

On September 13th, we will be BACK at our downtown location and celebrating a huge milestone in our church. Worship in the downtown sanctuary at 10 a.m. begins our celebration.
Full Sanctuary Choir, Brass Ensemble, Scripture, Prayers, and More will fill our hour, which is immediately followed by an all-church catered meal in Fellowship Hall. “Open Houses” for the renovated gym, new classrooms, Outreach Ministries, Historical Displays, Inflatables, Activities, and a Scavenger Hunt with a reward all fill the remainder of the afternoon. Let’s honor our past, celebrate our present, and look ahead to a future full of faith and community service.
We can’t wait to celebrate this incredible milestone with you!

Get ready because Return Sunday is almost here! Anderson First Kids will be back in full swing, and we want you to join us at the downtown Anderson location at 10 AM on September 13th. It's going to be an exciting day, especially since it is also Promotion Sunday! That means the kids and students will be moving up to new classes.

Here’s the scoop on transitions:

If your little one was in the Toddler room, has turned three, and is bathroom independent, they’ll be moving downstairs to the Preschool classroom in the Kids Ministry Hallway.

Got a kiddo going into Kindergarten, 1st, or 2nd Grade? They'll be in the Younger Kids classroom in the Kids Ministry Hallway.

All kids in 3rd-5th Grade will join our congregation for Family Worship on the first Sunday of every month and will gather in the Fireplace Room for First Kids fun every Sunday after that.

And for those entering 6th Grade, welcome to the Student Ministry! They'll be joining us for worship on Sunday mornings, with Youth Group happening on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 11:15am, and AFS Midweek every Wednesday from 6-8pm.

We can't wait to celebrate with you and your family on September 13th!

📢 Service Location & Time Change for Sunday, August 23

Due to ongoing standing water at Davis Park, we have made the decision to move Sunday worship to our Downtown location.

⛪ Downtown Sanctuary
🕙 10:00 AM
📅 Sunday, August 23

Please note that we will have one combined worship service this Sunday.

While we’re disappointed that we won’t be able to gather in the park, we’re thankful for the opportunity to worship together indoors. We look forward to seeing everyone downtown as we come together in faith and fellowship! 🙏💙

Please help us spread the word by sharing this update with family and friends.
