There is perhaps no other symbolic act that more powerfully reflects the reality of a new chapter, of new life, than that of baptism. Why is that? What is baptism and why does it matter? Why is it so important in the life of an apprentice of Jesus?

Coaches – Champions – Mentors! What about YOU?
June 11, 2017 • Wendy Thomas
If you have experienced the encouragement from another when you felt so undeserving… If you have been cheered on when you felt more like giving up… If you have had someone take the time to listen to your dreams and goals with care and support …then you have been blessed!
And if you are the reasons others have experienced such encouragement and support, you have been a blessing. This Sunday Pastor Wendy will share what happens to a man by the name of Saul, when he connects with a guy named Barnabas. The investment that Barnabas makes in Saul’s life had eternal dividends.

Family Matters
May 28, 2017 • Jeremy Peters
1 Timothy 3:15 reminds us that we are part of the ‘household of God’ and that how we conduct ourselves impacts others in the family. The reality is that being part of a large family means that sometimes we need to simply stop and talk about the things that have an impact on our life together. There has been a LOT that has been unfolding here at StAAC over the past 5 months and this week Pastor Jeremy will be sharing some of the family matters that affect us as a church body.
