Important Weather Info

Due to the conditions on Old Higbee Mill Road and for the safety of our volunteer teams, we will have only three services this Sunday at 9:30, 11:00, and 12:30.

We urge caution as you travel. We have done our best to clear our parking lot of snow and ice, yet some areas remain slick. We encourage carpooling and attending the 12:30 service if you can.

We will continue our series House of Prayer and will livestream as always at 9:30, 11:00, and 12:30.

Upcoming Opportunities

Connections Breakfast

Sunday, February 8 at 9:30am

If you are newer to First Alliance, we would love to have you at our Connections Breakfast!

This event will be during our second service. You will meet some of our pastoral staff, hear about our church, enjoy a light breakfast, and find out ways we can serve you.

Christ & Culture: Navigating the Crisis of Our Civilization

Starting Sunday, February 8 at 11:00am
High School Room

The start of this class has been delayed by one week and will meet during the 11:00 service starting next Sunday.

This nine-week series with Pastor Eliseo Mejia is designed to explore how our cultural moment engages with the biblical roots of culture and to diagnose the deepest societal crises of our time. We will look at how Christ offers a robust response through the Kingdom of God, calling the Church to be a healing presence in a fractured world.

Additionally, through spiritual formation and practical mission, we, as followers of Jesus, learn to live as a faithful counterculture. Ultimately, this journey invites us to enjoy new cultural environments with Christ at its core—full of hope beyond the crisis.

Announcements

A note from Jeff Miller, District Superintendent

We want to thank FAC for fully providing a 20-passenger minibus to your sister church here in Lexington. Revival and Reconciliation Church ministers largely to the African immigrant and refugee population here in Lexington. I am so encouraged as I see the faith and generosity and passion of God’s people at FAC to partner to reach all the world with the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
