During these summer months, our Life Groups pause their regular meetings and studies to embrace a season of recreation. Whether it's sharing a meal after service, or joining one of our many gatherings happening this summer, we encourage you to step out, extend an invitation, and make room
for new connections.
Core Groups
Core Groups at ANCF exist to deepen our connection with God, one another, and the vision of ANCF. Joining a Core Group is a great way to grow as a disciple of Jesus while getting to know others at ANCF. Together you’ll pray, worship, eat, serve, and have fun.

Freedom In Christ ONLINE Course
Starting: To Be Determined
Days / Times: Varies
Location: TBD
Topic: Discipleship course
The Freedom in Christ Course is a Bible-based discipleship course designed to help every Christian break free from what is holding them back and become who they are made to be in Christ. It is for every Christian—from those who have been Christians for a long time to those who are brand-new followers of Jesus. Unlike many Christian discipleship courses today, the focus of this course is not on how to behave, but on what to believe.
The course is led by a trained FICM staff or volunteer and runs for 12 weeks, including an intro week and a week for participants to work through The Steps to Freedom in Christ, a step-by-step prayer and repentance process. Participants will be expected to watch the videos prior to class, do the weekly homework, and attend each weekly Zoom meeting to discuss what they have learned.
