Alliance of Renewal Churches
- Alliance of Renewal Churches
The Alliance of Renewal Churches (ARC) is a group of Charismatic/Pentecostal Christians with a Lutheran family of origin. This movement came out of the Mainline Charismatic Renewal and is focused in the Midwest (especially Minnesota) and California; although there are members from all around the country.
The Alliance of Renewal Churches is closely connected with:
* [http://www.nhlc.org North Heights Lutheran Church] of St. Paul, Minnesota
* [http://www.lutheranrenewal.org Lutheran Renewal] of St. Paul, Minnesota
*The Master's Institute (Seminary) in St. Paul Minnesota
The group assumes a conservative theological base but is not issues-oriented. Congregations and/or individual church leaders can join. Congregations can retain membership in other groups while belonging to the ARC or they can belong exclusively to the ARC.
Worship in ARC churches tends to be very expressive and uninhibited and the messages tend to be followed by "ministry time" where those attending the service can come forward for personal prayer.
