OUR STORY
God is still writing our story! We would love for you to visit us in person at our weekly worship gathering. We meet every Sunday morning at 10AM at 22625 Atlanta Road, Seaford, DE.
The story of ARAC is not about a building, a program, or a method. It’s about people—people of all ages who need to find the purpose in life that God has given them. Atlanta Road Alliance Church (ARAC) began in 1978 with a small number of families that desired to cooperate with God in developing fully devoted followers of Jesus. This has continued with real people, with real problems, on real journeys, seeking a real God.
We are a community of people from a variety of backgrounds, interests, and life stories who have a desire to explore what it means to LOVE God, LOVE each other and LOVE the world around us. We are a safe place, regardless of where you are in your faith journey, to learn more about Jesus while also growing in meaningful relationships with others.
