Our History and Heritage
AS, YOUR Neighborhood Church is a Church of God congregation.

AS, YOUR Neighborhood Church has a rich history in Battle Creek, MI. We held our first gatherings in the home of the McGuffey’s in 1948. A few years later the property where our current facility sits was purchased. There have been many upgrades to the property over our more than two thirds of a century. We now own more property across Andrus Street stretching from 20th to 19th which includes our parking lot and a large piece of undeveloped land. Many great ministers and thriving ministries have been birthed from this location. This property is saturated with the prayers and tears of many hundreds of people who called this their church home throughout the years.
We have recently begun a new phase in the life of this body of believers. We are in the same location with a renewed focus. We have adopted a new name that honors the heritage of Andrus Street Church of God while embracing God’s call to reach our neighborhood. Our new-ish name is AS, YOUR Neighborhood Church.
