GENERATIONS
OUR STORY
In 2022, after serving in other roles for numerous years, Pastor Will Culberson was elected to serve as Senior Pastor. In 2024, AFT was able to purchase 5.5 acres of land adjoining the church property debt-free. This acquisition secured possibilities for continued growth and expansion at our current campus.
God’s provision has been miraculous and faithful over the 50-plus years of AFT’s history. Our families have experienced revival, our community has been blessed, and our reach through global missions has extended to the uttermost parts of the Earth. Pastor Culberson, along with his family, continues to lead AFT with a heart for souls and a vision for future. We are excited to be in a new season of growth, revival, and Kingdom expansion. We believe the best is yet to come.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39
The same church.
The same message.
A new chapter.
A new name...
FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU, AND TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL. Acts 2:39
GENERATIONS
The Generations campaign will ensure the legacy of apostolic ministry and Kingdom-expansion continues in Pearcy and beyond.
The Generations campaign will enable us to completely renovate the interior and exterior of the original 1994 building, expand the sanctuary, prayer room, and office spaces.
Additionally, it will provide a 4,400 square-foot expansion on the front of the existing building, including a new lobby, restrooms, nursery spaces, and a fellowship center. This is a significant move forward. One that God has positioned us to take together as we love, grow, serve, and bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. This is not only about a physical building. This is about reaching generations to come.
For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. Isaiah 44:3
Why Generations?
We value family.
The church strengthens and enriches families. Generations will allow families with young children to enjoy expanded nursery spaces and safe learning environments. It will provide families with youth a spacious and welcoming lobby where young people will enjoy gathering and will serve together in the church. The sanctuary renovation and lobby expansion will foster an environment for families to grow and serve together.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord Joshua 24:15
We value worshiping together.
The Generations campaign will allow us to completely renovate and expand our current sanctuary. The renovation and expansion will expand our capacity to 550seats with spacious aisles and altar areas.This will include upgrades to seating, sound, video, and lighting providing an improved experience in-person and online. Not only does the project create opportunities for growth and expansion but it also resolves numerous repairs on our aging facility.
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the trueworshipers will worship the Father in spirit andtruth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. John 4:23
We value community.
Fellowship and community are apostolic values vital to the health and growth of individuals and the church body. Generations will provide beautiful spaces that will foster fellowship, connection, and friendship. Comfortable and spacious seating areas both indoors and outdoors will allow generations to continue in the breaking of bread and fellowship together. These spaces will be ideal for special events and group gatherings.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine & fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. Acts 2:42
We value excellence.
We believe when we give God our very best, we reflect His greatness to the world. Everything we do in the church should reflect the excellence of our great God. We are striving for facilities, ministries, and services that exemplify a spirit of excellence in every area. This honors God and will allow us expand our witness and reach in the community and beyond.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might… Ecclesiastes 9:10
We value legacy.
The scripture teaches us to leave a spiritual inheritance and legacy. This church has been blessed with families who have continued to invest and serve in apostolic ministry for multiple generations. We want to ensure that truth and experience are not only passed down but expanded in the coming generations.
The Generations campaign will equip us to effectively minister to the next generation. There is nothing more valuable we can give to our children than an apostolic heritage and the foundation that has kept us through times of shifting and shaking. We are confident in their ability to continue the legacy and will cheer them on as they exceed our reach.
