Allen Sanders served this church as an associate minister for many years and continued to serve in his retirement until his death in 2007. His message and memory continues to inspire the class members in their faith journey. His loving spirit is live and well at the ASFC! Our motto describes our essence: "We enter here a fellowhip. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, always we love.

We feel that our class presentations and discussions are of top quality and are generally geared to uplift our spirits and bring us all closer to Jesus.
