About Us

We at ALC are passionate about living for Jesus.

The purpose of our church is "to experience the life of Jesus in our church, homes, community and nation". We believe in reaching our community in every area of life. Our desire is to reach every man, woman, youth, child and business with the love of Jesus. Freely we have received, freely we want to give.

We're in the process of building a new facility to house our Church and Community programs, such as our Sonshine Corner Nursery School, Life Skills Academy and our Local Community Foodbank. Our history is not just the story of buildings but the building of stories, stories of people who matter to God. People very much like you. 

What We Believe

  • The Bible is the world’s best-selling book of all time. We believe it is the Word of God. It is total truth and provides us with principles for every area of life.
  • We believe in One True God. We believe He is alive and wants to have a personal relationship with us. He co-exists in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life. While He lived on earth He performed supernatural miracles. He died to take away the sins of the world. He was crucified on a cross, buried in a tomb, was resurrected from the dead and He ascended into heaven. We believe He will return to earth a second time in the future.
  • We believe man has sinned against God. Adam and Eve were the first humans and were created pure but wilfully broke God's laws. As a result all of us have sinned and need forgiveness.
  • We believe there is salvation only through faith in Jesus Christ. He died on the cross that our sins may be forgiven. He was buried and after three days He was raised from the dead. Sin and death could not defeat Him.
  • We believe you must be born again to go to heaven. When you put your trust in Jesus and believe in what He did for you, the Holy Spirit changes you on the inside.
  • We believe in water baptism, not by sprinkling water on your head but by being fully immersed in water. In this way we follow Jesus' example.
  • We believe in the Holy Spirit baptism. The evidence of the Holy Spirit baptism is the supernatural ability to speak in tongues - a language we have not learned or have known.
  • We believe the Holy Spirit gives us special gifts. He empowers us and gives us the ability to do what Jesus did here on earth.
  • We believe we should live holy lives. Through obedience to the principles and teachings in the Bible we can live lives that please God.
  • We believe in supernatural healing. We pray for the sick because we believe God still works miracles today.
  • We believe that everyone who has become a Christian should remember Him by regularly participating in communion.
  • We believe in eternal life and judgement. Those who have committed their lives to following Jesus will spend eternity with Him in heaven. However those who have not will be punished for their sins.
