Friendly people greet newcomers at the door. The music is contemporary and well done. The Bible teaching is helpful and easy to listen to. Lots of small groups for midweek gatherings.

The sermon today (Nov 18/24) was on using your calling in your vocation. Great message, great speaker. Come check it out!

Wonderful church, wonderful people, it’s very very welcoming. If you feel hesitant about coming because you feel awkward or like the “new guy”, don’t, you are welcomed as if you had been attending for years. I’m so happy to have started attending.

I was really disappointed in the service I attended. They played a promotional video that focused on shamming a woman for getting an abortion. They framed it in such a way where she labelled herself a born again Christian because she received forgiveness through the church for her choice to end her previous pregnancy. It is really disgusting to use this type of story in a promotional video for their own church. It’s completely insensitive to the woman who shared her personal story of a difficult decision, and also to anyone attending the service who may have been in a similar situation.

I understand trying to convey inviting messages to the congregation, but this video did not do send that kind of message. Conveying the message that abortion is shameful creates an uninviting environment and propagates the idea that women should not have autonomy over their reproductive choices, and further, that it is sinful. People should not be shamed for the difficult decisions they have to make. Also, a church has no grounds to perpetuate the taboo of abortion, or to send the fictitious message that abortion is sin. I hope this church discontinues sharing the video, and reflects on the sexist messages they instil in the community.

It was heartbreaking to see the video play out and look around the room at the congregation. My fear is that by sharing this video it gives permission to continue shaming people, and especially women, rather than giving sympathy for the difficult situation of an expected pregnancy.

Whether you are frequent attendee, and future attendee of this church’s service, please be consciousness of the sexist and woman-shaming messages the church spreads in their community.

We had a great first time experience attending Sunday service at St. Albert Alliance Church. They were extremely welcoming, organized, and provided great communication throughout our visit. Our children really enjoyed the kids ministry and want to go back. The message shared by Pastor Mike was timely and challenged us to go deeper in our faith and think about how our words can have such a deep impact in our lives and others around us. Thank you St. Albert Alliance for creating this experience, we will be back! Godbless your ministry.😀🙏🏻

Really cool Church. Seems large, but with the intention of making it feel small. People we're friendly. Didn't know anyone, but got connected with someone who introduced me to other people who helped ease the transition of feeling like I belong. A bit of a drive though, but plan to attend again in the near future. Messages are preached expositionally as well. No sugarcoating preaching here. Such a great Church. God is totally moving here. . Seems like there are a ton of ways to get connected. From what I've experienced, I totally recommend this church. I like that they follow up with you as well. Some Churches won't do that, which I appreciate about this one.

I first went to the church when I was very young I think around 5 or 6 years old. My parents were not religious but always gave is girls a choice in if we went to church or not. Myself and my older sister started going with a family who I can not remember their names unfortunately. Anyways the teachings I learnt from this family ( church ) stayed with me to this day. I will be honest I no longer attend church and haven’t really since this one but their teachings are true and pure... AMAZING place to warship

A touching Christmas Eve service. But for my tastes could have been a little more old fashioned. Good Covid protocols followed, felt safe with the layout Etc they planned.
