Church Leaders
“Christ is all! Christ is in all!” While this call to action from Colossians 3:11 has only concluded All Christ Church’s (ACC) sermons since 2026, the sentiment has been present in the church’s intentions since its inception in 2014. 
A newlywed navigating his 20’s with his wife, Courtney, Miles Fidell felt called by the Lord to uproot his life in Metro Atlanta and plant a church in the city of Auburn. Focused on normalizing radical discipleship to Jesus in the American church, ACC’s approach to sharing the Word comes in the form of sermons from Fidell and Lead Pastor Gage Henry throughout the week, missionary outreach endeavors within and outside of the community, Bible drills and Communion almost every Sunday, a young adult Christian leadership development program, and so much more. “I had a picture of it in my head,” Fidell said. “A church that’s multi-generational in the South, passionate about worshipping Jesus, serious about prayer and holding on to Scriptures: all of the things that we know to be normal about ACC were in my heart and mind.” Initially taking residence in the Auburn University Hotel and various spaces on campus as Auburn Community Church, it wasn’t until 2019 that the congregation opened its first permanent residence in a strip mall on Airport Road. Eventually discovering 17 acres of available land on Hamilton Road, Fidell and his team worked for nearly four years to develop plans, raise money, and build on the property before opening ACC’s second Auburn location in March of 2023.
Now the Senior Pastor and a father of four girls, Fidell’s weekly routine is spent ensuring the church’s staff has the resources they need to complete their daily duties, preparing his sermons, and engaging in Sabbath on Saturday before preaching the Word to multiple audiences on Sunday. “We’re able to do two church services in the morning [on Hamilton Road] with one over there on Airport Road,” Fidell said. “I’m still somehow able to preach all three because they’re so close.” Although expansion within the Auburn community has been prevalent within the church’s story, its growth in other areas internally and externally has led to numerous exciting developments. The church has opened locations in Lake Martin, Huntsville, Nashville, and Birmingham. The Birmingham location currently meets in Homewood [2850 19th Street S] but is tentatively making its permanent home on Green Springs by the end of the year. Additionally, the church’s widespread growth throughout the South led to a name change at the beginning of the year: All Christ Church. “The word ‘all’ emerged from Matthew 28: ‘Make disciples of all nations,’” Fidell said. “The vision behind All Christ Church’s name change was to keep Jesus in the center but make missions the focus. Our goal is to send over 100 missionaries to unreached people groups.”
