We read in 1 Cor. 4:1-2, “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.”

We are called to faithful stewardship of all that God has entrusted to us. Now it is our time to answer the call regarding the current needed capital improvements on our property.

In Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians he reminds the church that, although God has gifted everyone in the church differently for different roles, each believer shares together in two unalterable truths. First, the church belongs to God alone. He is the One who brings the increase, causing it to grow. We are his “field” and his “building.” Second, all who are part of God’s church are servants and stewards of the glorious Gospel of Jesus and the ministry He has entrusted to each one of us.

What God has Done

AFB has a rich history of faithful stewards from its beginning in 1894. For over the past 130 years, thousands of people have been impacted by the Gospel proclamation and ministry of AFB.

Through AFB, God has brought many people to salvation, strengthened families in our community, and the congregation has witnessed God calling out pastors and missionaries throughout the years. Today, that legacy continues in our generation. We still see God working today!

Those that have gone before us have sacrificially given and provided what we now use for worship, discipleship, and ministry every week. In 1956, faithful saints gave to build the sanctuary in which we gather to worship each Lord’s Day. In 2010, the church completed a second major step in the construction of an educational wing that serves our Sunday School, music ministry, children and youth ministries, our Wee Learn Preschool, and so much more.

In April of 2025 we completed a total renovation of our worship space!  And through God's provision through His faithful people at AFB we did this debt free.  We rejoice in God's goodness in this!  You can watch a four-minute video of the 3 1/2 months of renovation.

What God is Doing

In November of 2024 many members and attenders made three-year financial commitments to “Forward in Faith” to fund the renovation of the sanctuary and for the construction of a new parking lot.  We thank God for everyone who made commitments and for those who are continuing to jump in and contribute!  

What's Happening Now!

The construction of our parking lot is now complete! The work began on July 6, and the congregation dedicated it on Nov. 1. Through the faithful giving of AFB God supplied and the church was able to complete the project debt free!  This marks a significant improvement for the congregation now and those who will come in the future.  Parking at AFB is now more functional and accessible for all the ministry that will happen in this place.  All glory to God!
