WHAT TO EXPECT
As you arrive at 390 Industrial Parkway South, Aurora, you will have the option to drop off your passengers at the front doors, under our overhang. As guests, we invite you to park in any of our designated Visitor’s Parking spots.
Our Information Centre is located in the foyer and our volunteers would be delighted to answer any questions you may have regarding our facilities and/or programming.
Just a few steps away is our Worship Center, and as you enter greeters will show you to a seat. At the back of the seat in front of you, you'll find a Connection Card. We invite you to fill these out and leave it in the offering plate or return to the Info Centre. These are just a way for us to further connect with you and/or join you in praying for any requests shared. Any information you provide on this card will be held in confidence.
Our church offers age appropriate ministry for children (JK – Grade 5). Children are signed in and registered in the foyer before service begins and will remain with their parent(s) until their dismissal, which usually occurs early in the service. We know that your children are your priority and we place equal importance on their care and protection. All of our Kids’ Ministry volunteers, as a matter of fact, all our church’s volunteers are screened and trained.
For more information about your first time visit and opportunities that are available at AC, please call or email us. We look forward to meeting you.
OUR CORE VALUES
Relevance: We strive to intentionally engage our world so that we might positively affect others towards Godly living.
Relationships: We are responsible not only for ourselves, but to one another. We seek to create healthy avenues for community and communication.
Full Spirituality: We believe God invites everyone into spiritual vitality with Him. We understand that a vibrant relationship with God’s Spirit is essential to effective living. Therefore, we will pursue, teach, equip and model a Spirit-led life.
Safe Environments: We will be a non-threatening community of people where one can both seek and grow in Christ Jesus. This means the tone of every gathering and relationship will be loving, full of grace and truth.
Community: We value both our young and emerging community as well as our aging community. Without compromise to our traditional roots, we actively reach out to the children, youth and young adults beginning with those who surround us, and then to those globally.

Juliana Ivan
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Raised in a Christian home but made a full dedication to God in my early teens. This hunger after God lead me to go on several missions trips with my youth group – downtown Toronto, England twice and to Spain. I also love to worship God as it allows me to draw closer to Him. Started singing on my youth worship team and haven’t stopped since. It’s a privilege and honour to worship The Almighty God. I have 3 wonderful children who are the joy of my life.
