Missouri Christian Convention
The Missouri Christian Convention is quickly approaching, and we would love to see you and your family there! Each year, we are what's called a partner church. What that means is we support the convention, and in return, we get our people a greatly discounted rate on the convention ticket. If you’re looking for that code, you've come to the right place! At checkout, enter “ALCP26” to receive the $40 discount on your ticket. You can also find a link to book your hotel room at the lodge on the convention website linked below!
Winter Jam ‘26
6th-12th-grade students are invited to join us for Winter Jam on March 20-21 in Springfield, MO! Winter Jam is a concert featuring many of today's most popular christian bands. It's always a ton of fun! We'll go to the concert on the 20th, stay the night at a church that evening, and then wake up and go mini-golfing before heading home. It's $60 to go, which covers the ticket, dinner that night, and mini golf. Your student will need to bring extra money if they are planning to buy merch or anything else.
NYR
Nationwide Youth Roundup (NYR) is a trip for 9th-12th grade students in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Over 2,000 teens gather together to worship God in His creation while hearing relevant biblical teaching. It's the biggest, most fun camping trip a high schooler can experience!
Cost: $350 (including an $80 deposit that is due upon registration)
Deadline to sign up/full balance due: Sunday, July 5
-
NYR is short for Nationwide Youth Roundup. It is a Christian conference for teens that takes place at Roundup Ranch in Sedalia, CO. Each church group has its own designated campsite on the mountain, so your teen should expect a full-on camping experience. We’ll stay in tents, cook our own meals, bring camping chairs down into the valley for worship sessions, and debrief around a campfire at night. Portapotties are set up all around Roundup Ranch, and there are multiple showerhouses on-site as well.
-
Our group leaves a few days before the NYR conference officially begins. This is primarily for two reasons: First, because it allows us to set up our campsite before the valley gets too crowded with other groups trying to get up and down the mountain. Second, having a couple of days before the conference starts gives us the chance to bond together as our own group. We will have a couple of fun outings together in the Denver area that weekend before NYR begins.
-
$80 of the total balance must be paid at the time of registration as a non-refundable deposit. The full balance must be paid by Sunday, July 5th.
-
Yes! On Sunday, May 17, we will have a fundraiser grab-and-go meal at Crossroads during morning services. Any student who helps will earn money toward their trip balance. If a student wants to help but is unable to be there on that day, they can have somebody work in their place, just so long as it’s not another student attending the trip.
-
We will collect students’ phones once we arrive at our campsite on Friday the 17th. This is because we like for the campers to be able to disconnect from their normal life for a bit and focus on enjoying the NYR experience together. However, our adult leaders will have their own phones on them most of the time if someone needs to be contacted. Roundup Ranch also has a landline phone that can be contacted in case of emergencies: (866) 450-4697. In the event that a camper has some sort of emergency, Ian will contact their parent as promptly as possible.
Vision Night At The MAcon Campus

Prayer Night at Our Second Campus
We are having a prayer night at our second campus in Brookfield! This is for anyone and everyone who wants to attend.

Men's Breakfast
On the first Saturday of every month, we get together to eat delicious food, visit, and learn with other men of the church. Bacon, eggs, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, biscuits, and gravy are ready by 8:15 a.m. If you want to help set up or cook, or just want to get there early for coffee and fellowship, you can show up anytime after 7:30 a.m.
As breakfast winds down, we engage in a short (scripture-based) discussion. Topics are intended to help us become the men God designed us to be.
We know your weekends are valuable, our goal is not keep you long so you can get home and enjoy the rest of your Saturday! This is an enjoyable, informal, relaxing opportunity to gather with other men of the church, as we all grow closer to Jesus and learn more about His word!

LOC Sunday
LOC Sunday is one of our favorite Sundays each year because we get to go out into our community and serve as One Church! How it works is, you pick a project, whether it's painting, brush removal, notes of encouragement, child care, and sign up in the lobby or down below. You can sign up with your friends and family, or you can all sign up for different projects. Then on LOC Sunday, you will split off into your groups and go out and serve. Next, we want you to know about this year's shirts. This year, we have a new design that you can stop by CA Schoush to get. We are covering the transfers, so all you have to do is pay for the shirt of your choice! Last but not least, after we are done serving on LOC Sunday, we want you to come back and eat lunch together. This is a fun time to talk about where you served and to be together as a church family.
