community ministries

Under ACC's Community Ministry exists a variety of efforts by which ACC is trying to show God's love to Anoka County by living as Jesus lived -- caring in tangible ways for those who are facing challenges with life. Check out the list below to find out what organizations we support.

ACBC Food Shelf

Volunteers have been providing emergency food and clothing to area residents of Anoka County for over forty years. The food shelf is a local nonprofit; non-government agency.
elementary school partnerships

ACC partners with two local elementary schools who each have a very high rate of poverty among their students. We purchase food for take home bags, volunteer hours at various events, school supplies, hats, mittens and other articles of clothing to help these families.
Family Promise Ministry to the homeless

Family Promise in Anoka County (FPAC) works with families experiencing homelessness to tailor individualized plans to help them take the necessary steps toward lasting independence. ACC partners with another local church to provide housing, meals and shelter through the Family Promise program 4 weeks a year.
haven for heroes

Haven for Heroes, founded in December of 2018, is a stand-alone, non-profit, substance and alcohol-free board and lodging facility, that provides recovery and transitional housing to service members and veterans.
Lex Crisis Pregnancy Center

If you are facing an unplanned pregnancy, we can help you by providing a free pregnancy test, ultrasound confirmation, and answers to your questions about abortion, parenting, and adoption.
SAFE FAMILIES for children

Founded in 2003, Safe Families for Children surrounds families in crisis with caring, compassionate community. We are a volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides hope and support to families in our local communities. Safe Families for Children hosts vulnerable children and creates extended family–like supports for desperate families through a community of devoted volunteers who are motivated by compassion to keep children safe and families intact.
