Our Team
Stephen Fincher
Pastor
Stephen was born in the booming metropolis of Woodland, AL, where people love Friday night football, cows, chickens, and inventing their own fun. He loves music, reading, running, playing guitar, hiking, and recently has gotten into playing tabletop role playing games with friends. As a teenager, he became a Christian at a youth group and has been following Jesus ever since. He graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Social Work and got a Master’s of Divinity at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. While in seminary, he met his better half, Laura, who is wondrously intelligent, faithful, energetic, hard working, and fun. They have three children–Caroline, Grace, and Peter–and three cats. Stephen is currently serving as our worship leader as well. You can email Stephen at stephen.fincher89@gmail.com

Aimee Blythe
Youth Pastor
By day, Aimee is a Systems Manager in the healthcare supply chain. By night, she is the Youth Pastor here at ACC. Her husband, Brandon, also volunteers his time to serve the youth at our church. They have an amazing son, Ethan, who feels called to be a full time pastor one day. The whole family has a heart for the hurting and the lost, and they love to serve others. They are blessed to be part of such an amazing church family.
If you have a child in 5th-12th grade, Aimee would love to see them in Sunday school with us at 9:30 AM, or during our Youth Group gatherings on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM. They will be welcomed with loving arms, learn about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and have lots of fun in the process. They take the gospel seriously and think it is extremely important to equip your children to be true disciples of Christ. They also do community outreach so your youth can learn how they can share the love of Christ with others in our community by serving them. You can email Aimee at aimeenichole@gmail.com
