Changes are in the air
at ALFC. It is very exciting to finally see our building project coming to
pass. It is the result of a 2 year vision that God gave me back in July
2005. After much prayer and discussion with our leaders and congregation, it
became apparent to us that we did not have room left to continue to grow as
we have. We currently have a sanctuary that can only seat about 180 and our
classrooms are getting rather full as well. Our new building will house our
offices and a new sanctuary that will seat around 600 people.
With our slab complete, we invite you to watch all the up to date pictures
as the building progresses.

It is not enough to develop
just elders and deacons. A church should be the breeding ground for
development of pastors, prophets, teachers evangelists missionaries, etc.
One of the greatest problems
in churches today is the placing of most of its responsibilities on one man,
the pastor. That is why we believe so strongly in what Ephesians 4:
11- 12 says:
A church with a "pastor does
everything" approach cannot begin to meet the needs of its own community
much less all of the people in the church. We believe that God has a
particular ministry for every member of the Body of Christ. It is the
job of leadership to help others to find their ministry.
We believe that no one should
be a "pew sitter" forever. I pray that everyone who joins us at ALFC
will strive to find out what their individual purpose and destiny is in
God's kingdom.
