Grow Your Faith

At St. Albert Alliance Church(StAAC), we believe we are better together and that growing in relationship with Jesus includes connecting with others because God uses other people to enrich our lives and help us grow in our faith. At StAAC, we offer two types of groups:  C3 Groups and Small Groups.

We believe that the Bible reveals Jesus to us and that the Bible is God’s primary way of speaking to us. Studies have shown that reading the Bible is one of the most catalytic things you can do to grow your faith and relationship with Jesus. In the video below, Pastor Mike discusses why we believe reading the Bible is essential and how to get started.

In the Gospels, we see Jesus modelling a life of sacrificial service and inviting his disciples to join him in sacrificial service. Service sacrificially is about using your time, energy, and talents to help others without asking or expecting anything in return. Jesus said that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another (John 15:13), and when we serve others, we demonstrate love and follow Jesus in this practice.

At St. Albert Alliance Church(StAAC), we believe we are better together and that growing in relationship with Jesus includes connecting with others because God uses other people to enrich our lives and help us grow in our faith. At StAAC, we offer two types of groups:  C3 Groups and Small Groups.

What are C3 Groups?
C3 Groups are Casual, Connecting Communities where we share common interests, hobbies and activities. We have groups that meet to play a Board Game, go for a run, share a meal and many other activities. C3 Groups are a great way to get to know other people around StAAC and from our community.

What are Small Groups?
Small Groups are caring communities where we can safely explore God’s teaching and learn how to apply it to everyday life. Small Groups are more than just Bible studies; they are a great place to share your story and discover how to apply Scripture to your life. Here’s what you can expect in a Small Group:

•You’ll meet with 8-12 other people who desire to grow spiritually, make friends and serve others.
•You’ll share a meal or snack in a relaxed environment.
•You’ll utilize Bible-based studies or curriculum.
•There’ll be discussion and dialogue about God and life.
•There’ll be a time of prayer.

Our groups meet weekly or bi-weekly on a specific day for a set amount of time. We offer groups for teens, women, men, couples and families. We have many groups available that can fit your schedule. We would love to help you join a Small Group.

If you are new to faith or beginning to read the Bible, we have created a First Steps Reading Plan that takes you through key chapters of the Bible and will help you discover more about God. Once you’ve finished our First Steps Reading Plan, check our YouVersion Church Page for more great reading plans that will take you through the Bible.

If you have been reading the Bible for a while and are looking for a new tool to help you hear God’s voice through Scripture, check out our SOLAR Bible reading tool, which will help you encounter Jesus in Scripture.

If you do not have an easy-to-read translation of the Bible we would love to give you, just contact us. Easy-to-read translations of the Bible are available for free through the YouVersion Bible App; we highly recommend the New Living Translation (NLT). Be sure to check out our YouVersion Church Page for recommendations on reading plans.

There are many ways to get involved in serving at St. Albert Alliance. Click the link below to see the available serving opportunities inside and outside the church.

In 2 Corinthians 9:8, we are told God always gives enough to meet our needs and to share with others. Living as a steward involves embracing this truth and changing how we live. If we are to become generous with others—sharing what we have, we will have to recognize the difference between needs and wants. We will have to consume only what we need and share the rest. We believe this way of living expresses the heart of Jesus as is expressed in our Generosity Prayer.

There are many ways to use the resources God has entrusted to us. One of the ways is by giving those resources through the ministries of St. Albert Alliance Church (StAAC). We invite you to consider giving to one or more of the following funds.

• General Ministry Fund – Gifts to the General Ministry Fund support the ministries and operation of StAAC in and around St. Albert and the capitol region as we seek to be Good News to our neighbours.
• Compassion Fund – Gifts to the Compassion Fund support families in crisis within the church and our community.
• Missions Fund – Gifts to the Missions Fund support StAAC ministries and partners as we seek to be Good News in Canada and worldwide.
