THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

We will be packing Operation Christmas Child boxes at the Roberson’s from 3-5pm on November 9! A filled shoebox will be the only gift these kids get, so we plan to make great ones - in plastic shoeboxes! Please consider donating any of the NEW items needed below so that we can pack as many boxes as God allows. More info on what's needed can be found by following the links below. Of course, donations are not required to come join us for the packing party. Help packing would be greatly welcomed. Please pray God uses these boxes for His Glory!

Come join us for our 2025 Youth Friendsgiving Dinner. It's a time for us to come together for fellowship, food, games and most importantly to express our thankfulness for all that our Lord has given to us. Friends are more than welcome if you have one to invite! Food will be provided, so no food sign up this year. We are excited to celebrate with you!

We are in need of helpers in our kid's ministry, especially in nursery. It is a once a month commitment to assist the teacher of the age group you're working with (Nursery, Toddlers (walking to 3 years old), Preschool (4-6 years old), Kids 1st-5th grade). This is a great way to make disciples and love on the families at ARCC. Click the link below to sign up!

Come join us for Men and Women's Bible Studies! We are going through the minor prophets. Click the links below to view the specific locations for each group and to 'Request to join' the group for the study on Church Center.

Calling all students grades 6-12! Join our student gatherings at 9:00am on Sunday mornings at the YMCA. Our hope is to break off into discipleship groups for a time of gospel centered, biblically based conversations. We want to equip you to represent Christ well wherever He has you!

Church Family,
Our building fund currently sits at $308,211.00 (as of July 2025). 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 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.

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.
