STORIES AND ARTICLES
Stories of faith and everyday life
A church is made up of people with different histories, questions and experiences of God. Explore reflections from ANCC and find encouragement for your own journey of faith.
Read and reflect
Our articles explore following Jesus in everyday life. They are a place to begin a conversation, return to a Bible passage or think about a question that matters to you.
Your experience matters
A personal story can help someone else feel less alone. It might describe a first visit, a question you explored, or something you are learning about following Jesus. It does not need a dramatic ending.
If you would like to contribute, contact us first. Please avoid sending sensitive details or identifying another person without their permission.
Sharing a story is your choice
Tell us what you are comfortable discussing and whether you would like your name used. We will discuss the proposed words and photographs with you before asking for permission to publish. Agreeing to an initial conversation is not agreement to make your story public.
Begin your own visit
You can come to ANCC without having a story to share or knowing what you believe. Our first-visit guide explains Sunday worship and how to find us.
