WHAT DOES ANCHOR KIDS TEACH?
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written, and we strive to bring its stories to life through creative activities and discussions that keep kids engaged. We want every child to love God's Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives. We know they'll have fun each week as they learn about who God is through games, activities, and video teaching. All of this can't happen without our amazing volunteers.
As of right now, Anchor Kids is for ages 2-10 years old.
Anchor Kids utilizes the Life Kids curriculum. Life Kids is based out of Oklahoma and they seek to help kids connect. to God.

TEST DRIVE A SERMON
As I Embarrass Myself
What would you do if the one time you invited your boss over, she pulled out her own toilet brush and went around cleaning every bathroom in the house? Loving like Jesus loves demands we break social norms and sacrifice status.
Color Blessed
Frederick Douglas once wrote: “Revivals in religion and revivals in the slave trade go hand in hand.” He was commenting on the money from the slave trade funding works like churches. This week, we take an honest look at our racist past and explore a way forward.
What's the Big Hurry?
Could hurry be the one enemy stealing the life out of you? In the sermon today, we survey the history of speed and discover what hurry is doing to our souls.
NO AWKWARD FIRST VISIT.
Here’s the deal…
We do things a little differently around here…
We know it can be a little weird or even awkward visiting a church for the first time…
That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.
When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:
✅ meet you at the front door
✅ help you get your kids checked in
✅ introduce you around to a few people
✅ save you seats
✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)
We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.

PASTOR'S NICK AND HANNAH
Pastor's Nick and Hannah
Hi!
We're Nick and Hannah, the pastors and founders of Anchor Church! We've been married since 2011 and moved to C-U in 2019 to start Anchor Church without knowing anyone in the area. Then, we got to meet all of the amazing people who are a part of Anchor today!
We believe that you are uniquely wired by God for a specific purpose, and that unless you figure out what that purpose is, you'll never be truly fulfilled.
No one else on earth can fulfill the unique calling that God has for you.
No one else can fulfill your assignment.
Maybe you know exactly what your purpose is, maybe you've been running from it for a while, or maybe you have absolutely no idea where to even start looking for it...
But we want to help you find it.
Because we believe that the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who actually do...
WE DON'T JUDGE.
WE DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE TATTOOS.
WE DON'T CARE HOW YOU DRESS.
WE JUST WANT TO MEET YOU. :)
FAQ
Anchor Church is located at 611 North Wright St. Champaign, IL 61820.
Anchor Church is live online on YouTube and in person each Sunday at 11:00 am!
Feel free to wear whatever you feel comfortable in! Most people at Anchor dress pretty casually. Think jeans and a t-shirt.
Yes! Kids are one of our highest priorities at Anchor Church. At Anchor Church, we focus on raising up the next generation of leaders who will change the world for the Kingdom. During service, kids can participate in classes in-person or engage with resources online.
We start at 11am on Sunday mornings. Normally, we start out with singing a few songs in order to focus on our minds on Jesus. Then, we get to hear a message for the week. Overall, the service lasts for about an hour.
Groups meet six weeks at a time and then take a break. During this time, we have snacks, a game, discussion, and prayer. Childcare is available as well. Sign up below to join!
We're so glad that you are exploring your faith! We'd love to help you however we can. Here are some basics: we close our eyes when we pray. Sometimes, we raise our hands in surrender during worship. During the sermon, some people take notes. Some people call Nick and Hannah - pastor. Others just refer to them by their first names. Either is fine with them!
We don't have "rules" per se. But, we want Anchor to be a safe place to wrestle with God - so please respect others' spiritual journey. Beyond that, we would be thrilled if you joined us weekly and intentionally built relationships within Anchor.
