Andover Community Church
A Spirit-filled community sharing the good news of Jesus Christin the Anglican tradition.
WELCOME GUESTS
We hope you sense God's peace and presence as you visit.
We are an Anglican Biblically Orthodox Church offering Communion (bread, wine, and juice) nearly each Sunday. Children's "Godly Play" is offered up through the 6th grade. Our music is contemporary-led, with prayer ministry by trained ministers after each service. More about who we are is here.
If you'd like to make an appointment with one of the clergy, indicate that on the welcome card and slip it into the offertory plates at the rear of the church, or contact is directly here.
May you be encouraged in God's love as you worship this morning.
A BIT ABOUT US
We are connected with a larger group of churches in a diocese, the Anglican Diocese of New England. Our diocese is connected with other dioceses across the country through the Anglican Church in North America, which is connected with Anglicans all over the globe through GAFCON .

GIVING TO ST PAULY TEXTILE INC IN 2024 WAS HUGE
Last year our little yellow shed (where clothes are given for the disenfranchised around the world) scored big time. Thanks to you, and people in the community, we took in 21,651 pounds of clothing, which was enough to to cloth an estimated 3,988 people around the world! Not only that, but we brought in $866 which was in turn given out to local mission initiatives. It is blessed to give.
MISSION GIVING
This season we are giving to The Voice of the Martyrs. The Voice of the Martyrs is serving tens of thousands of Christians who have been driven from their homes and villages because of their faith. They need immediate encouragement and help. Monies will be used for basics like soap, blankets, medical supplies, food, shelter, and Bibles. Contributions should be up and above normal giving. Earmark checks on your way in, or give directly online HERE. We'll be collecting monies for Voice of the up to Mother's Day, May 11, when we turn our giving to Aspire Women's Center.
PHOTO DUMP
If you have a smart phone and take pictures of church events, we'd like to encourage you to send your best pics to a google drive, where they will be collected and considered for next years' 2025 Highlights to be viewed at the annual meeting. You won't need to worry about cropping them, or making them look pretty. We'll do all that from our end. If you - and when you - have a picture(s) to share, upload it to HERE.
ONLINE LITURGICAL CALENDAR
A unique online liturgical calendar will keep you up with the church lectionary, celebrations of saints, and other Anglican highlights - all for free! Why no check out the online liturgical calendar HERE.
HOW TO GIVE OFFERINGS AND TITHES
There are three ways to give to the mission and ministry of Andover Community Church:
Online. This is the preferred venue for receiving monies. We don't have a formal time in the service where offerings are collected, thus it's easy to forget all about it. If you are not giving online, please do so. HERE.
Service Giving. As you enter the sanctuary there are offering plates. Offerings can be deposited here. These monies are blessed officially by a priest at the Offertory.
Direct Mailings. Lastly, tithes and offerings can be mailed (check preferably) right to the church.
