At the General Conference in 2026, the ACOP will be holding an election for the office of ACOP President. In keeping with policy, the Trustees are officially calling for nominations.

On September 21st, Faith Alive Family Church celebrated ten years in their present location. Also on that day, Mark and Anita Glaab retired as lead pastors and turned the reins over to Dave and Grace Bahadur. The Bahadurs have been integral to the church for about twenty years and will now lead the church into a promising future.

It was a day of blessing with many joining to support the Bahadurs. Pastor Mark led in a time of testimonies of the goodness of God over the years, as well as teaching on the role pastors and their flock. Regional Directors Peter and Helene Barbour led in the installation of the new Pastors.

We are a "recovery friendly" church. We see many in our church who are active in recovery from addictions, and we love seeing them come. One young man called out in desperation to God, knowing he needed God in his life. He started attending, and increasingly grew more and more connected and committed. He now serves on a volunteer team—we love to see the change in him and how he has shifted the center of his life to God! "You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you..." (Ps 63:1)

The book of Joshua gives us some insight into what it looks like to take up the burden of leadership previously held by another. God selected Joshua to succeed Moses, and as we see throughout the rest of the book, the obedience shown by these two men resulted in God's great favor over Joshua's position.

On paper, Joshua may not have had every single characteristic of a great leader. There's a good chance he doubted his own giftings, as many of us do when faced with new responsibilities. However, he was faithful and obedient, and when the time came, he answered the call with an unflinching yes. 

If you are standing at the precipice of something new and are anxious about your abilities, we pray God's peace over your next chapter. He has placed you in this spot for a reason, and will walk beside you every step of the way.

"Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses." -Joshua 1:16-17 NIV
