Online Service Director

At ACF Church, we see our jobs as a calling. We are a staff of mutually broken people who are devoted to moving ourselves and others into reconciliation with God. Our church is dedicated to being hope in dark places within our city, state and world. We believe that life is short, the stakes are high, and it’s all about Jesus.

ACF Church is a growing gathering of the churched, un-churched and de-churched, located in Eagle River, Alaska. Eagle River is a community of 35,000 composed of many young families and military personnel who work on JBER (Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson), which is 6 miles from ACF Church in Anchorage, which has a population of over 300,000. ACF Church has grown exponentially from 35 people in 2009 to currently seeing 1,200 on a weekly basis. Our demographic is primarily people between the ages of 20 and 40 years old with 70-80% current or ex-military and a large number of babies, children and teens.
