If you are a military family, we believe that you are a vital part of our community! We greatly appreciate your service to our country through your military career, which has now brought you to our area. We truly understand the challenges that military families encounter. Our pastor has served as a USAF reserve chaplain since 2004 and is currently attached to Dyess AFB, in Texas. Our Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care is a 20-year Air Force special tactics veteran out of Ft. Bragg, and our Associate Pastor of Students served 23 years in US Army Special Operations. Our congregation has numerous retired and active-duty military. We get it!
If you are looking for a church to plug into while you serve at Ft. Bragg, we want to celebrate your coming, support you and your family while you are here, allow you to jump right in and serve, and celebrate your move to your next PCS. Our vision for you during your time at AFBC is that you leave us more spiritually fit, walking closer with Christ, and with a stronger family than when you joined us. We value the military family and intentionally look to create a place that is aware of our military's spiritual, emotional, and relational needs.
MILITARY CONNECT
Military Connect is our specific ministry to our military members and their families. It is relational, spiritual, and practical. Volunteers in Military Connect adopt an AFBC military family or individual to encourage, mentor, and share life together. For example, volunteers may minister to their families by checking in with them regularly, sharing meals together, providing childcare on occasion, helping with referrals for area business services, helping with issues that arise during deployments, and responding to significant life events, such as deployments, TDY's, births or emergencies. If you're military, and God leads you to AFBC, our goal is to connect you as soon as possible.
THE COVE
We recommend The Cove at the Billy Graham Training Center in Asheville, NC. This ministry provides free marriage events for military couples. The 2025 dates are Feb 14-16, May 23-25 and Aug 29-31. You will experience a beautiful setting in the NC mountains, the tranquility of the training center, wonderful accommodations, biblical focused content, and some of the best food ever! But to take advantage of this you need to get reservations ASAP. The spots fill up fast! thecove.org/events
For military members and families that may be struggling with difficult issues impacting their spiritual, emotional, and family well-being, we commend Warrior180 Foundation.
