About Us
AGCN is all about making a difference in our community and our world. We are a worshiping community, and that worship takes us into the real world. Because we take Jesus' words seriously, we are serving our neighbors in practical ways: The Bridge provides food, clothing, furniture, household goods and encouragement to our neighbors in need - no questions asked. The Academy is a safe and fun place for your children for preschool and kindergarten kids, and for school-age kids after school. Our children, youth, and family programs help us grow closer to God, to one another, and to our world.
