We do church as A team.


It is our joy to release people to minister in their different areas of gifting and interest. A spirit of excellence prevails in every area of ministry, and the vision behind it all remains… Love people back to life!

Make a difference.


What is the A-Team?

The A-Team is a group of incredible people that have discovered their gifts and passions and are actively serving in them. From creating a comfortable environment by serving on a Greeting Team, to leading the next generation to Jesus by serving on a Student Ministries Team, to crafting a dynamic experience with the Production Team, to tearing down barriers across our city by leading a Pulse Group or partnering with Adopt-A-Block — we are a group that forcefully advances the Kingdom of God.

Adopt-A-Block

Adopt-A-Block is our ongoing outreach to residents of Roanoke’s inner-city. Directed by Sheri Maycock, AAB was birthed in 2004 as an avenue to build relationships and meet needs of these residents on an ongoing basis. Since that time, AAB has ministered regularly in the Lansdowne Park housing community in Roanoke’s inner city. AAB’s vision is to expand into other communities in Roanoke, helping residents learn their value and worth in the eyes of God, and helping guide them in taking pride in who they are and in their homes and communities. The AAB team regularly visits the residents of Lansdowne and also coordinates special seasonal events, like school supply drives or Christmas giveaways to the children at Lansdowne.
