Member Spotlight: Cassius Ali

Hey church family! My name is Cassius Ali and I have been coming to APCC since October 2016. I’m an Android developer from New Jersey who loves gaming, music, kung fu, and spending quality time with friends and family. In my time at APCC I’ve served in the Children’s Ministry, Worship Team, and more recently as a leader in my Connect Group. It’s been such a blessing to serve in these ministries as I’ve been able to witness things such as the children steadily getting to know Jesus and the Spirit moving mightily through the congregation during worship. As someone who grew up in a family of singers, it’s truly amazing to see everyone coming together to lift their praises to the Lord and an honor to be able to use my passion for music to play a part in it.

I first came to APCC after being invited by a fellow member, Jeff Lau, who was my co-worker at the time. It had been my first time going to church since moving here, and I was surprised by how kind and Christ-centered the community at APCC was. In my childhood I grew up going to church, but the churches that my family visited didn’t seem to have a clear focus on the gospel or on growing together as a community, which stunted my spiritual growth. Looking back now on the way God has shaped me through this church family makes it clear how much God loves me and that He’s made a place where I can participate in the Kingdom mission. I feel so blessed to be a part of this church family, and I look forward to seeing how God will continue to use APCC in the future!
