Dave Frazer – We Know Who, What, Why… but When? ✨
🌟 The Wonder of the Story
Pastor Frazer reminded us that while the world often rewrites Bible stories, the real story of Jesus is richer and deeper than anything Hollywood imagines. Jesus calls us to receive His kingdom with the heart of a child full of trust, joy, and wonder.
👶 The Birth Announced
In Luke 2 the shepherds hear the good news of great joy. Angels fill the sky with glory, and the long awaited Messiah is finally here. This moment is the fulfillment of promises stretching all the way back to Genesis.
📜 The Promise Through the Ages
From the first prophecy in Genesis to the prophecies of Isaiah, God was pointing to a Savior. Jesus name means Yahweh is my salvation. Through centuries of kingdoms rising and falling, God was preparing the way for His Son.
🙏 A Childlike Christmas
Christmas is not only for children. Jesus invites us to become childlike in humility, faith, and joy. As Mary pondered all these things in her heart, we are invited to slow down and marvel at the gift of Jesus.
✨ The Good News Today
The message of Christmas is still good news for all people. God keeps His promises. Jesus has come. Salvation is here. Let your heart rejoice in the Savior who brings life forever.
Apple River Community Church is a congregation of people, conservative and evangelical in doctrine, who love each other and are committed to serving the Lord and their community.
The church has a rich heritage, having been founded in 1888 by Scandinavian immigrants.
In 2001, we opened the doors of our new facility on the intersection of US Highways 8 and 46. Our name was changed from Apple River Evangelical Free Church to Apple River Community Church. We had a new building and a new vision for reaching out to those around us with the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ through various outreach ministries.
We believe that our Lord is at work here at ARCC and that He is building the Body to enable us to accomplish the mission He has given us. Perhaps He is leading YOU to become part of what He is doing here. We are still a “work in progress,” but we are very happy with the progress that has been taking place at Apple River Community Church!
Mission Statement
The purpose of Apple River Community Church is to glorify God by helping people to find Jesus and grow to be like Him.
Our Affiliation
Apple River Community Church is affiliated with the Evangelical Free Church of America (Forest Lake District).
