Services at Anchorage City Church

First of all, you're invited!

We meet twice on Sundays to allow room for all.  Both of our meetings are essentially the same.  Here is normal the schedule:

First meeting: 9:30 AM

Second meeting: 12:00pm

Easter Sunday schedule has three special services at 8 AM, 10 AM and 12 Noon.

What are our meetings like?

Our welcome team will meet you at the door.  Ask them any questions you have about the church services.  When you enter the foyer, you'll see the New City Café where you can buy hot drinks.  There is also free coffee available.

Notice the pictures of Anchorage around the foyer.  We are Anchorage CITY Church, and we want to serve Anchorage.  These pictures help keep our focus!

Ushers at the doors to the auditorium will provide handout sheets with information about what is happening in the church.  If you need help finding seats, or have other needs the users will be happy to help.

You will probably first notice singing starting right away.  Many people like to sing standing, but you should sit or stand as you are comfortable.   We also often pray for the other church fellowships of our city.  Our church family often raise their hands during the worship. 

The Lord continues to speak to His church through His written Word, through dreams and visions, and through individuals with the gift of prophecy.   Occasionally someone with this gift will come to the front of the auditorium to bring a prophecy or exhortation.

Before the preaching, we sometimes make few announcements.  There is LOTS going on at City Church.  You can also find good up to date information on this website in the news section and in the calendar section.

The Church has collected tithes and offerings since the beginning, and we do this at the same time as the announcements are made.  Visitors are welcome to join us in this, but there is never any pressure to do so. 

Giving is more important for us as individuals than it is for the Church, so we suggest asking the Holy Spirit what you should give.   We teach tithing (the consistent giving of 10% of one's income) as a regular spiritual discipline, and we teach offering (giving above and beyond the tithe as the Holy Spirit moves individuals to do so).

During most of our meetings Pastor Richard or one of the other pastors preaches or teaches biblically based messages.  You can listen to recent sermons on this website or even download them as podcasts from iTunes.

At the end of the meetings, we nearly always make space for those who need prayer for sickness or other issues in life.  At many of our meetings, there will be those that come forward to receive Christ -- and we invite you to do the same if you have not already.

Location:

We are located at 1301 West 100th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska.  You can see the church building from Minnesota Drive.  Traveling southbound on Minnesota, exit right for 100th Ave, just south of the Dimond Boulevard overpass.  Here is an interactive map to where we meet.

Transportation:

Automobile transportation to our church services is currently most practical.  There are two bus stops along Dimond Blvd. and a few people walk from those.  That is more difficult in winter, however, owing to lack of sidewalks.

If you are unable to drive to the Sunday church services, we may be able to pick you up.  We have two small buses that we use to pick up those without other transportation.  Unfortunately the buses are not equipped for handicap pickup, and are limited in coverage area.  If you need a ride, please call the church office before 4 PM on Fridays.

Need more information? Phone the church office at 344-2141.
