"More for the Gospel"
One Church Worshipping in Multiple Locations

"I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." - Jesus Christ

It is in the context of Christ's promise that AHEFC is starting our first new campus in becoming a multi-site church. Moving into the ACTION phase of this process has several implications:

New Facility: ACTION means that we aggressively pursue a purchase agreement for a facility that would meet the needs of the new site, an agreement that will be dependent on congregational approval. Our first campus will temporarily meet at Hersey High School starting September 7, 2008. 

New Site Launch: ACTION means that some of us will attend the new site. We envision 450 or more of us worshipping at the Hersey Campus starting this fall. For that to happen, we are applying the "one-third" principle—challenging one-third of our lay leadership in each core ministry to be a part of that group. The Church Board has already committed to this principle and we anticipate three out of the nine Board members will attend the Hersey campus. To read more about our "Hersey Champions," click here.

New Douglas Campus Schedule: ACTION means that we change our worship service schedule to enable us to capture the sermon on video for distribution to all our future sites. We reduced our Sunday morning services from six to four and added a Saturday night service in the Gym where the sermon will be recorded for replay on Sunday in the Gym and at Hersey.
