LIFE GROUPS - Session #1, 2024 In this session, we will add staggered beginnings and endings for some groups. We will also have some ‘pop-up’ activities offered throughout this session to group members and the ALC family at large. Can you imagine competing in a fun game, or evenings of Kickball, Movie Night, or Art project?
GROUPS ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE! CLICK ON THE GROUP NAME FOR SIGN UP!

This group is known for Fun, Food, and Friendship. You are invited to connect with this energetic and close-knit group of Seniors who enjoy doing life together.
Individuals volunteer in the Church Offices, or work from their homes to help coordinate special activities and projects and assist the Pastoral Team as needed. This is a year-round ministry.
The ladies meet for a weekly discussion of Sunday’s message and how it has impacted them. This multi-generational group loves studying God’s Word and sharing a light snack during each session.
We will systematically examine what Scripture says about living an ‘abundant life.’ There will be a weekly outline to aid the study of Biblical abundance, where it originates, and how we can recognize the presence or absence of it in our lives.
The TV show The Chosen brings the life of Jesus to the forefront of media. Using the series as a basis for our discussion, we will dig into and compare each episode with the original source of information, the Bible. This group is a great way to grow your knowledge of Jesus and the Word.
You will receive a list of the music for each session. Taste and See is a casual group and invites all to participate in this time of Praise and Worship.
Nothing is more important than sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with our young people. This Wednesday group is a laid-back time where the youth can learn the truths of scripture, share in groups, and top it all off with lots of fun.
This group centers on bringing God’s hope and love to people experiencing physical and emotional crises. It is open to anyone facing a need, and all are welcome. Dr. Elaine is a licensed therapist who often enlists other medical professionals to come and share in their areas of expertise.
Group members dig in, and discuss the sermon each week to better understand what God is trying to speak to each of them. Participants often enjoy a hot or cold beverage during the discussion, but they are always serious about growing their knowledge of God and His Word.
The Creative Arts Team includes the areas of Praise & Worship - Singers and Musicians, Producers, and Production Staff. This team is a vital ministry in our church. *On-stage positions require an audition. This is a year-round ministry.
In both the goodness and the grief of life, it is necessary to be present for whatever may be coming our way and to know a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world. Come join our study as we learn from scripture how our hearts are to echo the heartbeat of our joyous God.
Various leaders will coordinate each month, and length of session may differ based on the activity. Come for one or come for all, but come prepared for a fun evening with your ALC family!

This group is the unsung heroes running sound, producing video announcements, taping the services, and more. Did you know someone must keep the slides going correctly through the music and sermon? If you are not an 'out front' type person, this may be your place. Some positions require a specific skill set. Others you can learn using on-the-job training.
