At AECC, we are a fellowship of people, a family, dedicated to the purpose of knowing God and making Him known.
We invite you to get to know us. We’re not perfect people, but we are people who come together to help each other through this journey we call life. We’re grateful for God’s graciousness to us through His Son, Jesus. We strive to live our lives in a way that will please and honor Him. It is an exciting journey and we’d love to have you join us!
