All activities and ministries in ARAC are designed to help equip people to LOVE God, LOVE each other and LOVE the world. It is when we serve others and engage in God’s mission together that we are challenged to become more than we currently are. Below is a list of some of the current ministries at ARAC. If you have any questions, feel free to talk with someone from our First Contact team on Sunday morning or contact us. We are happy to help!
The purpose of our ESL Classes are to teach refugees/immigrants English in order to survive in America. We also build friendships and walk along side them as they learn. They are provided an opportunity to find out about Christ and experience healing.
Life Groups are the lifeblood of ARAC. True growth, personally and with God, happens best in the context of relationships. Our Life Groups are smaller groups of people that meet at a variety of times and days of the week for the purpose of learning to do life tother. They share, serve, eat, pray and study together in an atmosphere that allows for transparency and support. Contact us today, and we'll get you plugged in!
Children are a priority! We provide a safe and fun environment staffed with loving volunteers. Our dynamic children's ministry allows kids to meet Jesus on their level during several gatherings designed just for them: Sunday mornings we have First Steps (birth-4yrs) , Kids' Church (5yrs-5th grade), and Middle School (6th-8th grade). During the school year, Youth4Truth meets each Wednesday from 6:30-8:00pm for kids from 4yrs-6th grade to explore God and life deeper.
The Purpose of the senior ministry is to motivate, support, and enable older adults to lead meaningful, faith-centered lives within the church and community. If you are 60+, join us the 1st Monday of each month at the Golden Eagle Diner in Seaford from 12:00 pm - 2:00 PM. It is a great time of fellowship and guest speakers that may be of interest.
Participating in team sports enhances spiritual and physical growth as well as relationships. Therefore, we field a co-ed softball team through the Christian Fellowship Softball League and co-ed volleyball teams through the Woodbridge Christian Athletic Association. We also have a group that plays Pickle Ball in our gym throughout the year. Contact us today to join a team.
Everyone knows what it is like the first time you come to a new place. Our First Contact team is designed to welcome people on Sunday mornings, answer questions, and generally help people get comfortable as they meet new people.

Each week we have an opportunity to gather together from 9:00-9:45 am to pray for ourselves, our families and our church and community. This is open to everyone and is suitable for praying silently or out loud. In addition, we have a prayer team that prays with others each Sunday.
