ACBC will host a Good Friday service!

Come out and and be blessed as ministers from around the Chicagoland area give their perspective on the last few hours of Jesus’ life (as a man), as they remember His Seven Last Words.  From “forgiveness” to “salvation” to “affection” to “despair” to physical torment” to “triumph” to “commital,” this is a story that must be told and it can never be told too much!  

April 12, 2009, 11:30 a.m.
Our weekend Easter Celebration will conclude with our Sunday School Easter Program in which our youths recite their speeches.  This is oftentimes a time of fear for younger children but is interesting to watch growth over the years.  Additionally each Sunday School Class will bless us with a special presentation that you do not want to miss!

Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. (Luke 10:2).  ACBC has been entrusted with a ministry, a vision, and a purpose, and continues to seek out partners and new members to work with us to help bring God’s plan to fruition.

Our ministry, as crystallized by our late founding Pastor (Rev. Clarence L. Hilliard) is distinctly and unashamedly to the poor, powerless and the oppressed., and we believe our ministry to be consistent with Christ’s ministry (Luke 4:18-19).  Our vision is to transform the island community by erecting a Community Center with a

complete kitchen, basketball court,

recreational facilities, and a resource

library.  And our purpose is to Unite

the Church of Jesus Christ across

racial, ethnic, denominational, and

social lines.  Our prayer is Christ’s

prayer as found in John 17, that we may

be one and God and Jesus are one.

If you would like to join or partner with

ACBC in its ministry, vision, and purpose

then we would love to hear from you!
