Annual Business Meeting Celebration

Sunday, June 11 during all three services

We look forward to celebrating all that God has done in the last year at our Annual Business Meeting Celebration. It is being held on a Sunday morning again this year due to last year’s fantastic response! During our meeting we will sing, thank God for the past year, look ahead to our future, and celebrate some people too.


Affinity Groups Now Open

We are excited to have Affinity Groups back again this summer! They’re a great opportunity to connect with others in the First Alliance family to do something fun. Groups will meet about once a month in June, July, and August. See a full listing and sign up now.


Women’s Ministry Summer Bible Study

Starting the week of June 11

This summer we will be studying the book of Nehemiah! Nehemiah recounts the relationship between a faithful God and His people. It’s a story of God’s sovereignty and the power of prayer. It’s a story of perseverance and trust in a covenant-keeping God. Ultimately, it’s a story that points us to hope found in the gospel.

Small groups will meet at various times throughout the week starting the week of June 11. Both in person and online options are available.
