| WORSHIP
AT ARCC |
First
and foremost biblically based worship is a fluid response to God
for who He is and what He does and can do in our lives. Whether
you are a follower of Jesus who is responding to who Jesus is
and what He does in your life, or you are a seeker searching for
a closer connection with your Creator, being in the presence of
God will change your spiritual DNA. The follower of Christ can
walk away uplifted, encouraged, and energized, having intimately
encountered their Lord. The seeker can walk away asking, "was
that the presence of God? I experienced something
I want
to know more..."
ARCC
offers two styles of worship - Contemporary and a more classic,
or traditional style of worship service. We believe worship is
a lifestyle and encourage our church community to worship not
only on Sundays, but throughout the week.

Contemporary
Gathering (Sunday 9:30 a.m.) |
A
relaxed and fresh approach to revealing God's truth, and responding
freely to Him in worship. Music is contemporary/postmodern with a
praise and worship band. Feel free to bring your coffee and your friends. |
| a |
 |
Classic
or Traditional Gathering (Sunday 11:00 a.m.) |
A
more traditional, or rather classic approach to worship and the preaching
of God's word. Music is a blend of favorite hymns and classic praise
and worship songs accompanied by piano and organ. By the way
you can still bring your friends. |

Praise
Band
|
| |
The
goal of the Praise Band is to help create "worshipful moments"
for the congregation. These "moments" allow both the Praise
Band and the body to truly feel the presence of God, energizing
worship during, and beyond the Sunday service. The band includes
vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, piano and other instruments
as needed. The band plays in the contemporary service and rehearses
Thursday evenings.
(You can listen to selected music by clicking the
song links in the "Worship Samples" menu of this page.)

Choir |

The
Sanctuary Choir is tasked not only with singing choral openings and
anthems, but also in leading worship. This allows the body of believers
to experience and serve in more traditional church environment. The
choir participates in the traditional or classic worship service. |

we do not have a continuously active drama team, when the need arises,
we are blessed to have talented individuals who will rise to the occasion
to provide high quality drama and theatrics. This group is used in
