About Avon Community Church :

The story of ACC begins in 1987 with a few committed individuals knocking on doors as they sought to determine if the Lord desired to begin a church in Avon, Minnesota. Pastor Pinke led the charge, and after determining it was the Lords will, four families plus began their first meeting at the City Hall in Avon. After ACC was officially established as a church they called their first full time pastor and began to meet at Avon Elementary School. Soon land became available and ACC stepped up, purchased the land and established its first building in 2001. Following that they continued to grow and became the loving Church family of over 150 families they are today with a marvelous facility in the middle of Avon, Minnesota. Their last Pastor, Alvin Helms accepted a call to a church in Washington to be nearer his family and Pastor Leigh Harrison was asked to serve in August of 2024 as interim and is presently our lead interim pastor. Our average attendance for 2024 was over 180. Our largest Sunday was 340.
