What to Expect:
We would love for you to visit Astoria Community Church! Here’s what you can expect at our weekly worship services. ACC meets to worship God every Sunday at 10:30 am at the Astoria Center of Israel Synagogue. This is a beautiful building that has been part of our neighborhood for over 75 years. Yes, it might seem a bit strange to have a Christian worship service in a Synagogue, and we are very grateful to the ACI congregation for allowing us to rent such a great space on Sundays in the heart of Astoria, Queens, NY. There is no dress code at ACC, so come worship God however you feel comfortable. Most of the congregation dresses pretty casually, but a few of us “dress up” from time to time. Feel free to bring your Bible with you to church, but in case you can’t, all the Scripture passages will be printed for you in the worship program that is handed out. Our congregation consists of people from many different backgrounds and nationalities. We have singles, married couples and senior citizens. And we are very “kid-friendly”. Excellent childcare is provided for infants through age 4. (But you are welcome to keep your child with you if you want; we don’t mind a little noise.) We are planning to relaunch our children’s Sunday school classes in the new year (2022). The worship at ACC is centered on the proclamation of Scripture, the Word of God. The sermons seek to expound the meaning of the day’s text, highlighting Jesus Christ as the central focus of the whole Bible. Singing praise to God is an important part of our worship service. Our music is led by Linnea Kickasola and other gifted musicians from the congregation. Every Sunday we gather at the Lord’s Table to take Communion together. You don’t have to be a member of ACC to participate. Any baptized believer in Christ who belongs to a church that teaches the gospel is invited to partake. If you have any questions about ACC, please call or contact us.
