I love being part of the Access community, partly because this is a group of people that are always moving forward. Just three weeks into the series, “It Came From Within,” and already you’re asking, “What’s next?” And I know why you’re asking.

Huge kudos to a great team! So,…

Held October 9-10, just north of Atlanta, this is one amazing conference for leaders in business, church, and home. It’s the perfect blend of fun, great learning, and amazing worship times. I believe in Catalyst so…

Join us each Sunday, September 7—October 5, as Andy Stanley walks us through a thorough heart examination. What’s in your heart? Services are held in the Fine Arts Center at UNF every Sunday at 9:00am and 10:30am. UNF is located just off 9A, one exit north of J. Turner Butler Blvd. Waumba Land (Birth through…
