For more information or questions about being baptised check out our ‘Get Baptised‘ page.

Join a Team

A great way to get connected is to join a serving team! Though these are not the only ways you can serve God, getting started on one of these teams can help you take steps on your own faith journey.

Though we’d love to know your interest for any of these roles some roles do require specific skills and some (especially those working with kids) require police checks and safe church training. Let us know your interest and we can walk with you from there.

Interested in any of these roles? Use the contact form below to let us know and we’ll be in touch.

Become a Partner

Though it is not necessary to become a Partner to be part of Austin Cove, formal partnership is a valued step of commitment to the ongoing cause of the church.

There are Five Commitments to be a Partner at ACCC:

1. Salvation – A commitment to following Jesus.
2. Discipleship – A commitment to ongoing spiritual growth.
3. Relationship – A commitment to connecting regularly with the broader church in our weekly Sunday service and our Life Groups.
4. Purpose – A commitment to serving the church generally and discovering your own gifts so we can help release you into areas of giftedness.
5. Stewardship – A commitment to supporting the church financially.

At ACCC we ask that you commit to a partnership with ACCC for the following reasons:

1. A Biblical Reason: Christ is committed to the church.

2. A Cultural Reason: It is an antidote to our society. We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything…a job…a marriage…our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of “church shoppers and hoppers.” Membership swims against the current of the Western world’s “consumer religion.” It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.

3. A Practical Reason: It defines who can be counted on. Partnership identifies our family.
​
4. A Personal Reason: It produces spiritual growth. The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church family.
