Become & Multiply
"I'm thankful there are more times than one hour on Sundays and Wednesdays to worship the Lord. I want to see families weekly or -- even daily -- reading, singing, and praying together. To further encourage your family to spend time in worship at home, I want to offer you two free books. Cornerstones by Brain Dembowczyk and an accompanying parent guide are 200 questions & answers that will help your family come to know and love big truths about who God is and what His Word has to say for our lives. To request your two FREE copies, email me!"

-Cam Lloyd, Children's Pastor

Spiritual Formation Workshop
Sunday, October 24 | 3:00-5:00pm

What Does the Bible Say About Generosity? - When you look at your paycheck, do you think of it as your hard-earned money? It’s tempting to view money, and everything we own, as a result of our own efforts, but this perspective encourages us to act as if all our resources belong to us instead of to God. Come and be both challenged and inspired!

More Than: A Chronic Illness Support Group
For the 2021-2022 year, we will meet IN-PERSON in Room 102 on the second Tuesday of every month (September - May) from 6:30-8:00pm at Alliance Bible Fellowship. The next meeting is Tuesday, October 19 (we had to move the date for the month of October). This year, we will discuss Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament by Mark Vroegop. Participants do not need to read the book to participate. A Christ centered group for people living with chronic illness. Find lasting community and fellowship in a safe place where you can lament and be encouraged through God’s Word and the support of others with chronic illness. Our mission is to instill hope through Scripture that we are “More Than” anything we may face (Romans 8:35-37). Contact Amanda Cottrell at cottrellag@gmail.com for more details and to sign up to receive notifications for the meetings.
