GATHER + GROW

Discipleship is the lifelong process of growing in your walk with God for the purpose of becoming more like Christ. At AFC, our mission is to make disciples who are obedient followers of Christ.  
 
As a church we are committed to the Great Commission to “go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you”. (Matthew 28:19-20)

This mission is carried out at AFC by connecting with others in Sunday School classes and Small Groups.
