WELCOME! Our heartbeat is to Connect to Christ, Grow with Others, and Engage the World together as Family. We gather to be disciples totally committed to Christ, becoming like Him in supreme love for God, selfless love for others, and sacrificial love for the world as we go locally, regionally, and globally. We hope you participate today with an expectation to encounter the Lord and a desire to celebrate the wonder of Jesus. It’s all about Him!

Monthly Prayer Focus - Alliance Missions
Give thanks for the work of the U.S. Alliance all over the world.
Pray for our international workers and intercede on their behalf as they serve Christ in some of the least reached and often “Hard Places”.
Cry out to the Lord for the 4000+ unreached people groups that still do not understand who Jesus is.
Pray for new workers to go in the power of the Spirit to the more than 40% of the world’s people groups who have no indigenous community of believing Christians able to introduce their people to Jesus.
Pray for generous giving by the Alliance family so that more can hear, know, and be transformed by Jesus, and for Alliance leadership to steward and mobilize GCF resources well.
Pray for the light of Jesus to shine brightly in the darkest places of our world. Ask that every follower of Jesus in the Alliance be fully part of completing the Great Commission as we remember all of Jesus to all the world takes all of us.
Pray for our upcoming Family Festival of Nations and that our hearts will be ready to receive the call God will place on our hearts and lives.
