Join Us for An Open Night of Worship
Back in February we hosted a night of worship where anyone could come and participate and be free to worship as he/she so chose. The goal was to cultivate a mutual heart of intentional celebration and worship. I believe that heart must be lived out and displayed as a beacon for an increasingly hopeless world. […]

Apple, Windows PC, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Computers, smart phones, and tablet devices have changed the world forever. They offer conveniences many wonder how we ever lived without. But with those conveniences come plenty of headaches as well. I am a Mac (Apple) guy. But I haven’t always been. I used Windows-based PC’s for a long time. There was, at least at […]
Thirsty for the Thirsty
Historically, Christian celebrations or “Holy Days” like Christmas and Easter were drawn out over longer periods of time that consisted of intentional discipline, dedication and worship. As a result, the celebration itself carried much more meaning, power, and significance for the Christian’s life, dramatically affecting one’s ability to hear God’s leading and breathe refreshing new […]
What’s the Big Deal About the Bible?
The Bible. Where does it come from? Why is it significant? Who is it for? Is it still relevant today? Does it have anything meaningful to say to me? This was the topic from last Sunday’s Sermon (click to listen) that Mark Bryant gave. The above video was recorded for the message itself. Dr. Bob […]
ACC Provides Clean Water for Hundreds in Haiti
Christmas: 2011. Anacortes Christian Church joined thousands of other churches in rethinking Christmas for the third year. We challenged each other to truly consider the meaning behind the Advent Season. Does the way we celebrate Christmas in our culture truly allow us to experience the full impact of Christ’s coming, with all its implications? We […]
Spirituality and Stinky Fish
I grew up in Herring Cove, a quiet neighborhood along the water eight miles south of Ketchikan, AK. I spent my summers roaming the neighborhood on my bike, or swimming in the ocean, and I did a decent amount of fishing. Herring Cove is something of a rare gem. It’s a beautiful place, peaceful, not […]
Extreme is not so Extreme
This Sunday our Pastor John Douglas gave a challenging and thought-provoking message entitled “Extreme Unity.” This was the fourth message in ACC’s current “iWitness” series, based on the book of Acts. If you missed Sunday’s message, I would strongly encourage you to listen to it HERE. In the message, John makes several crucial points. First, […]
I Don’t Like Urgent Things
I don’t like urgent things. I like it when everything fits into my schedule and stays quiet and out of the way until I want to focus on it (which means never!). The brakes on my car annoyed me a couple of weeks ago–they became urgent. I thought that squeaking noise was simply some stubborn […]
The Most Misused Biblical Term…
The following article was written by Scott McKnight and posted on the Neue Magazine Web Site. I find it interesting that McKnight doesn’t even comment on the fact that the term “Kingdom” is also often misused to mean “heaven,” or more specifically, the place we go after we die, implying that God’s Kingdom isn’t relevant […]
