This week, as we continue our That’s Interesting series, we’ll explore the question, “What is baptism, and why is it important?” Why has the church practiced baptism for thousands of years? Why was Jesus baptized? And why do we practice believer's baptism? Baptism is an ancient practice, but it is also a deeply personal and public declaration of faith. As we look at the story of baptism from John the Baptist to the Great Commission, to baptism in the Church today, we'll consider what it means to publicly align ourselves with Jesus.

This week, as we continue our That’s Interesting series, we’ll discuss the question ‘Is the Bible outdated on relationships?’ Can we trust God's plan for us? Does God have a plan for our closest relationships? Is it good? God does have a very good plan - He has created us to connect in community, to honour, submit to, love, and serve one another in all our relationships. What does this look like? Join us as we explore God’s call to align the way we relate to those around us in our most intimate relationships and in the greater community to which we belong. If you want to read ahead, check out Ephesians 5:21-6:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

This Sunday, as we continue our series, That’s Interesting, we’ll discuss the question ‘Why does a good God allow suffering?’ Suffering is a difficult subject. Jesus did not treat suffering as something to run away from or to run haphazardly towards. Jesus entered into our suffering fully when He died on the cross. Join us as we explore suffering and how Jesus meets us in its midst. If you want to read ahead, check out John 11 and Romans 8.

What does eternity look like? Answering this question is not meant to satisfy our curiosity; it’s meant to transform our priorities. Join us as we continue our series, That’s Interesting, and explore the realities of heaven and hell, and discover how those realities should shape our lives as we learn to love Jesus and further His Kingdom wherever we live, learn, work, and play.

Most of us have experienced it: the prayer we've prayed over and over again that still hasn't been answered. In Luke 11, Jesus teaches us not only how to pray, but why we can keep coming back to our Father, even when the waiting is long. Join us as we wrestle with what it means to trust God when our prayers seem to go unanswered, discover the hope that's found in His unchanging goodness, and take Communion together.

Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church

Wow, what an incredible week it has been around the church building with our Summer Day Camp in full swing! It has been amazing to see so many volunteers here each day, generously giving their time and energy to serve the 170 kids who joined us this week.

This Sunday is Day Camp Sunday, and we’re continuing the party and celebration! We’ve invited all of our Day Camp kids and their families to join us, and friends, this is such a beautiful opportunity to practice being good news to our neighbours as they walk through our doors. Come ready to meet someone new, give up your usual seat and stick around for popcorn and popsicles afterward as we celebrate an awesome week together.

This week, we're continuing our That’s Interesting series by exploring the relationship between science and faith. Together, we'll discover how God invites us to know Him more deeply through both His Word and the world He created.

You'll also notice our stage has been transformed in anticipation of Rainforest Falls, our upcoming Summer Day Camp, where kids will be Exploring the Nature of God. We're excited for an incredible week ahead as more than 150 kids experience the love of Jesus. Thanks for joining us—we're glad you're here.

Why do Christians struggle with sin? This week, as we continue our series, That’s Interesting, we’ll spend time in Romans 6–7 and sit with Paul’s honest words: “I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it.” Together, we’ll explore the good news that sin is no longer our master, even as Jesus teaches us what it means to live as people who are truly free. Whether you feel stuck, weary, curious, or simply aware of the tension within yourself, there is grace for you here.

Have you ever heard someone start a declaration with, "God has revealed to me..."? It's such good news that Jesus still speaks today. Yet, as we look through history, we can see times when such statements have been untrue or have even caused significant harm. So we need to take time and ask the question: whether it's coming from someone else or something we're sensing Jesus saying to us personally, how do we know if it's really God? Join us as we explore how we can discern God's voice and know if something is really from God.
