ACC began downsizing in December 2002 and closed down soon after. The Assemblies of God in Australia took over the name in 2008. ACC was an alliance of contemporary churches aimed at lifting its profile and influence as a key stakeholder on the religious landscape. Established in February 2000, ACC had 1,200 member churches and became the second largest church group behind the Catholic Church in terms of attendance. My role involved: • managing the establishment phase of this national 'association' - setting up policies and procedures for the new organization; • formation of an annual national event; • production of internal and external communication systems (including the building of the ACC website and subsequent regular electronic newsletters); • responding to media enquiries;• advising and occasionally assisting member churches with community relations, government relations, media relations and publicity. My role also involved coordinating a $1 million project in which gifts were produced, packed, wrapped and distributed to churches in the USA. During this time I was also editor of NOW! Magazine (an Assemblies of God quarterly publication with a national circulation of 40,000) and Assistant Editor of Leadership NOW! Magazine (an Assemblies of God quarterly publication to ministers and church leaders).
