We revealed our new Anchor Kids mural yesterday at our Juneteenth Celebration! Everyone was completely blown away by how absolutely incredible it turned out and how it completly changes our exterior staircase. What was once a dingy staircase, is now the highlight of our church building!

A ginormous thank you to David Espinosa, who designed and painted this beautiful piece of art! Using a mixture of latex paint and spray paint, he worked tirelessly in the heat and rain for days in order to have it done in time. Check out his other art on his page here:

There is nothing quite like the energy of our team coming together before a service to pray and focus on why we do what we do. It is all about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and at home. We are counting down the hours until we get to gather as a church family again.

Make plans to be with us tomorrow at 11:00am. It is going to be a powerful morning of worship and connection. If you have been looking for a place to plug in, we would love for tomorrow to be your first Sunday with us.

Happy 15th Wedding Anniversary to our pastors, Nick and Hannah. We wanted to take a moment to introduce Nick and Hannah for anyone who has not had the chance to meet them yet.

Nick and Hannah met at age 6(!), started dating at 16, and have been married since 2011. Seven years agao, they made the bold move to Champaign Urbana in 2019 to start Anchor Church, arriving without knowing anyone in the area. Their dedication to building this community from the ground up has been the foundation of everything we do here.

Both of them come from a strong background in ministry and education. Nick is an alumnus of Trinity International University and used to be a youth pastor. Hannah graduated from Moody Bible Institute and used to be an Operations Leader.

If you spend even five minutes with them, you will likely learn a few things about their favorite things:
- Nick is a huge fan of everything Marvel.
- Hannah is a huge Swiftie.
- The Brzozowski Family includes their dog, Mr. Albert, and their baby, Ivy.

We are so grateful for their leadership, their vision, and the way they have modeled what it looks like to follow God into the unknown.

If you have never been to Anchor Church before, we would love for you to come out this Sunday at 11:00 am to meet them in person!

The middle of the week can sometimes feel like the heaviest part. This photo is a great reminder that you do not have to navigate your week alone. At Anchor, we prioritize the kind of community that extends well beyond the Sunday service. We are here to support, encourage, and walk alongside one another through every high and low that Monday through Saturday brings. Please text the pastors at 217-217-2738 if you need prayer or support!
