Ministries
There's a place for everyone.
Whatever your age or stage, there's a corner of Anchor Point built for you. Find yours.
What each one actually is.
Who it's for, when it meets, and who to talk to. If something here is unclear, ask. Nobody expects you to figure it out on your own.
Community Groups
Everyone
Brent Amato, Community Groups DirectorMost groups are made up of 8 to 12 men and women who meet weekly for fellowship and connection, Biblically-based discussion, and a focused time of prayer. As the church grows larger, this is how we grow smaller.
Anchor Kids
Nursery – Grade 6
Helen Gruett, Lead TeacherWe want every child to know, to love, and to encounter the power of Jesus through worship and God's Word. Kids dig into real Bible teaching and learn to apply it, in an environment built to be fun, loving, and safe.
Anchor Students
Grades 6 – 12
Craig Jarvis, Anchor Students DirectorAnchor Students exists to bring about real transformation in students' lives. We build experiences that unite students, ignite a passion for Christ, and hand them the skills to make disciples of their own.
Men
Equipping men to live like Jesus
Darren Gruett, Men's Ministry DirectorA place for every man in this church to connect to God, to His Word, and to other men. Most of it happens over breakfast and honest conversation rather than in a program.
Women
Walking with Jesus, together
Diane Neal, Women's Ministry DirectorWomen at every stage of life, meeting through the year for Bible study, prayer, encouragement, and the kind of friendship that holds up when life gets heavy.
Prayer
Anyone who needs it
Prayer gives us space to praise God for what He has done. It opens a door of hope for those who are losing hope, room to learn compassion for those who are hurting, and it sustains us when we are tired. We pray over every request we receive.
Outreach
Carol Stream and beyond
The work we do outside these walls, starting with the fall backpack drive for kids in the community.
Each ministry link opens its sign-up or contact directly.
Community groups
Faith grows smaller before it grows deeper.
As the church grows larger, we grow smaller, gathering in homes across Carol Stream in groups of 8 to 12. It's where the sermon becomes a conversation, where prayer gets specific, and where you stop being a face in the crowd.
