FACTadults
Being part of a church is more than just showing up for a Sunday Worship service, although that's important to do regularly. It's knowing people, growing as a disciple, and being engaged in ministry/service. As you get to know people, it's time to Connect, Grow, & Engage with others to be and multiply as disciples. Here's how you can do that.
Ways to Get Involved
Discipling Communities
Discipling Communities are small gatherings of people intentionally taking next steps to follow Jesus together. They are built around Jesus & people doing life together. They interact regularly and share life’s ups and downs through prayer, scripture, worship, fellowship, and service. A Discipling Community can also be a mentoring (1-on-1 or 1-on-2) relationship or gender-based accountability cluster (3-4). They are diverse while being aligned around the same focal points and the same goal of making and multiplying disciples. Discipling Communities also exist for children (in Awana & Kingdomkids) and youth (on Sunday nights).
Prayer
There are multiple ways you can connect with others in prayer. Not only is prayer a normal part of worship opportunities (for all ages), Discipling Communities, and Ministry Teams, but there are some specific times you can gather with others for intentional prayer. Currently, they include:
Missions-focused Prayer Community
Wednesdays @ 6:30pm
Men’s Prayer Gathering
Saturdays @ 8am
These generally happen every week, but be sure to check the FACT Calendar to confirm.
Sunday Evening Gathering
Gather weekly with others of all ages for biblical fellowship built around God’s Word, hymns, and personal testimonies. Sunday evenings at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall from September - June.
Alliance Women
Alliance Women at First Alliance Church is part of a multigenerational, world wide group of women throughout the Christian & Missionary Alliance who strive to be devoted disciples that “live the Word, do the work, and reach the world to the glory of God.” All women at FACT are Alliance Women.
Alliance Women typically meet monthly at 10:00 am in the Fellowship Hall (always announced via the FACTweekly and FACTs You Can Use email). Women of all ages are welcome to take a next step in discipleship by igniting a passion for the lost around the world and in our own community as we hear from International Workers and focus on local ministries. You will have opportunities to pray intentionally for the lost and trust God to lead you in giving your time, abilities and resources to His work locally and globally.

Alliance Men
Our desire is to see men develop as biblical, loving, Spirit-filled disciples. All men who are part of a Christian & Missionary Alliance church like First Alliance Church are considered Alliance Men.
Some of the opportunities for Alliance Men include:
Monthly Saturday breakfast (2nd Saturday of the month)
