Church Family,
Our building fund currently sits at $216,814.58. I pray that you are as encouraged as our elders are. This number represents a combination of gifts given specifically to the “building fund” as well as our ability, in a season of low expenses, to apply excess tithes and offerings as well. Thank you so much for your continued faithfulness and generosity. We have hired engineers who have begun the process of getting us ready to break ground. We are hoping to begin building later in 2025! Be sure to follow the ARCC podcast for more updates. Click the link below and join us in what we believe God is leading us towards as a church family.

We are looking for more people to serve at the prayer table to pray at the YMCA for Y staff and members. This is an incredible opportunity to engage our community with the hope of the gospel.
Church Media
We want to encourage all of you to take pictures and videos of any church events you are apart of and use the link below to share those with the church. We will be using those to show all the exciting stuff going on in the life of ARCC. Don't hesitate to capture those amazing moments!!
BAPTISM
We offer baptisms a few times a year. Those interested in being baptized attend a short class where we talk more in-depth about what baptism is, and what it means in the life of a believer. This class also gives us an opportunity to hear your story and answer any questions that you may have.
GIVE
God has used and continues to use the faithful and generous giving of those here at ARCC to supply what we need for the work that He has given us to do. We invite you to sow into that work and come alongside us as we make disciples here in San Antonio and beyond.
SERVE
There's a lot that goes into ministry here at ARCC, and we're only able to make it happen together. Each week so many of you come together to use your gifts, talents, time, and effort to minister to the body. If you're not serving anywhere yet we encourage you all to get involved. Click the link below to find out about opportunities to serve and to sign up to get involved.
COVENANT MEMBERSHIP
If you’re interested in becoming part of the family here at ARCC then Covenant Membership is for you. We’ve moved to a new online process. At the link below you will find a page that walks you through the new process. You’ll find lots of information on who we are and what we believe and what we expect from our members and what you can expect from us. We believe that being a member of a local body is vital to the overall health and discipleship of a believer in Christ. Once you have completed the application one of our Elders will reach out to set up a meeting with you where we can meet you, go over your application, and answer any questions that you may have.
