Leadership
Consistory
Arlington Community Church(ACC) is governed by a board called the Consistory. Additionally there are committees such as Worship, Education, Finances, Building and Grounds and programs-with the children, fellowship events, outreach ministries, music, teaching and other service opportunities to participate in.
The Bible says the church is 'the body of Christ' and that, 'the whole body grows and builds itself up in love as each part does its work' (Ephesians 4.16). So we want to support everyone at ACC in using their gifts to serve the church, making Jesus known to new people and making a difference for Jesus in public life. Let us know how you would like to get involved.
