SERVE LIFE
At ACF, we believe that every follower of Christ is called and equipped to reach out to others with the transformational good news of Jesus Christ here on our campus, in our community, and around the world.
As we serve, we Engage, Evangelize, and Equip. We engage in conversation with people in our circle of influence. We evangelize by sharing our story of God’s good news. We equip by teaching others to observe his commands in the context of their faith journey.
God has blessed all of us with many gifts and talents. Maybe you are skilled as an actor or a piano player or a speaker or an athlete. God calls us to use all of these talents in service of God and others. But the Holy Spirit has also blessed us with spiritual gifts.
As a follower of Jesus, exploring and exercising your spiritual gifting is a vital and exciting part of your spiritual journey. This inventory is designed as a tool to help you discern the spiritual gifts God has given you.

4 Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function, 5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.

The Gatehouse Program empowers women and children overcoming crisis to become permanently self-sustainable.
They give a hand up so families achieve the dignity of earned success through a career-based income, financial stability, and the skills to manage their emotional, spiritual and physical health. Their evidence-based curriculum provides accountability and resources based on the individual’s needs and goals. While Members are enrolled at The Gatehouse, they are loved and guided through the Program by a team of experts and live on our 61-acre, privately funded and debt-free campus.
They are not a shelter or short-term solution but serve those who have the attitude and ability to work for permanent change. They fill that gap in our community between short-term services and permanent self-sustainability.

From Dave Roever:
My work with the military is not born out of schools of higher education, nor reading books of other people’s experience, but out of the tragedy of my own experiences. Having the opportunity to assist our young men and women, who are putting their lives on the line for our freedom, is one of the highest callings in my life.
