Sundays at AOCC
Visiting a church for the first time can be a little daunting. Where do my kids go? What will the music be like? What is the preaching like? What will people be wearing? Will it be weird? Am I wasting my time only to find out that this is just not the right fit for me? These are all valid questions to ask when looking for a new church. The only thing we can say is just relax and e
njoy your time here because we are not judging you, we are just so happy that chose to visit us. Our Worship Services
We have greeters who can answer many basic questions. You will notice a pretty easy-going environment where people are dressed casually. You are welcome to wear a suit and tie if that’s what you are used to, but you may be the only one dressed up that much! If you arrive early, you’ll have no problem getting a seat of your choice. If you arrive a little late and the room looks full, don’t worry . . . we’ll help direct you to an open spot. Homily/Preaching
Our preaching or homily is focused on taking the truths of The Bible and explaining them in a manner that makes sense today. Real life stories are used regularly to make it easier to apply God's Word to our daily lives. We are notafraid to laugh so you will certainly see a joke or two included in many homilies. Responding to God’s Word
Every week after the homily, we respond in worship in a few different ways. First, Christ-followers will be invited to take part in communion (also known as the Eucharist). This really keeps us focused on the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. During that time we’ll continue worshiping in song. During the Mass, those who consider AOCC home will be given the opportunity to worship with their finances by giving back a portion to God via the offering. You as a visitor should feel no pressure to take part in this, though you are certainly welcome to partake in offering to God what is His. Don’t feel like you need to run out right away! Take some time to meet new people if you are ready for that. We hope to see you soon!
