Leadership

So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people
for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
- Ephesians 4:11-13

Rev. Bart Rozema

Bart did not know Jesus Christ until 2009 when he had a personal encounter with Jesus. It was through this experience that Bart knew he was saved by grace of God in Jesus Christ.  Turning from a life of drugs and alcohol, he yielded his life to Jesus and followed God's leading. He was ordained with the C&MA in 2017 and came on as staff at ACC in 2020. Prior to pastoring, Bart worked at the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission for a number of years. Bart and his wife Kyra have been married since 2002 and have 2 children. Bart's most meaningful Bible verse has been 1 Samuel 12:24 - "But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart.  Consider what great things he has done for you."

Rev. Lance Stiver

Lance, and his wife Megan, have served at ACC since January 2009 and as the lead pastor since July 2016. He was ordained with the C&MA in 2015. Prior to full-time ministry, Lance worked in the software testing industry and also for Blue Jacket, Inc.  He has a degree in public relations from Taylor University.

​Lance & Megan met at Taylor University Fort Wayne, and were married in 1998. They are raising five children.
Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. - 1 Timothy 3:1-7
Currently serving as elders:

Ken Clendenning
Ken was born again on September 25, 1994.  One of his favorite verses is 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Becoming a Christian at the age of 45 created a pronounced change in Ken's life.  As he continues to grow in Christ, Karen, his wife of 43 years is a great help to him.  Together, they have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

 John Heath
John was saved by the grace of Jesus Christ while serving in the US Army in 1970.  He began attending ACC in 1991. He was a career police officer with the Allen County police department and at the same time completed a military career in the Air Guard. He has been married to his wonderful wife Cindy since 1970, and they are currently enjoying retirement. The Lord blessed their marriage with two daughters and a son.

John Heise
John was raised Catholic in Jackson, MI. He met and married Victoria Leininger in 1975. In 1981, despite being an unsaved alcoholic, John kept his promise to start attending church after the birth of their daughter, Sarah. Shortly thereafter he received the Lord in the presence of his wife. When the Lord saved John, he was not only saved from hell, but also from the addiction to alcohol. With a new strength, he went back to college and graduated as an electrical engineer. During their 40+ years of marriage, John and Vickie raised two daughters, Sarah and Valerie. They also have two grandchildren. John has served as an elder at all three C&MA churches they have attended.
