St. Albert Alliance Church

Join us as we hear from Transitional Executive Lead, Carl Waldron, as he shares an update about what we as a congregation, Elders, staff and transition team have heard where Jesus is leading us in this season.

Have you ever wondered what real power looks like and where real power comes from?  Questions surrounding power, who can be trusted with it and how it should be stewarded are very real and timely in our world today.  Join us as we continue our teaching series “Empowered” as we look at the book of Acts and what we learn about where true power comes from and how we are invited to live Spirit empower...

Have you ever watched the Antiques Road Show? People have shown up with items thinking they were worth a few dollars and find out their item is worth thousands. Or they assume what they have is worth thousands when it is actually a cheap knockoff worth only pennies. Join us Sunday as we kick off our new Series, Empowered, as we look at how the early Church grew as they understood the worth of the...

What are you living for? It’s a question that has probably crossed your mind at one point or another during your life. The way we answer the question can set the course for the way that we choose to live - the places we spend our time, how we use our money, it may even impact where we call home. At the core of the question, we are really being asked, “What does it mean to live?” This Easter Sunday...

Have you ever felt that your life was lacking purpose and opportunity? This week, as we study from the book of Colossians and finish our series, Simply Jesus, we are invited to be part of a bigger story.

You don’t have to look far to see positions of power abused. Whether it is in relationship, workplaces, or other organizational structures. As we continue our series Simply Jesus, we see Paul confronting the traditional power dynamics and setting the course for a new way of living.

So often we surround ourselves in relationships with people who think, feel and behave like we do because we think this is what true Christian unity looks like, but Paul describes something very different in Colossians 3.  Join us as we continue our teaching series, Simply Jesus, and look at what true Christian unity is meant to be.

Everyone wants to change. We all have this ideal life we want to live, where sin is no longer an issue. But we find ourselves in a tug of war between our old self, before Jesus, and our new self in Christ. Will it always be this way? Are we destined to live this back and forth life where the things we want to do we don’t do? And the things we don’t want to do, are the things we can’t escape? As we...

Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! Look at where you want to go, not at the obstacles you are trying to avoid - this is a lesson with multiple applications. As we continue our series, Simply Jesus, Paul’s words challenge the obstacles we often set our sights on that we are trying to avoid. Join us on Sunday as we explore what it means to fix our eyes on Jesus.

Over the past two years, there have been a lot of conversations about freedom. Join us as we continue our study of the book of Colossians and examine the spiritual liberty Paul lived out of and how he encourages us to live out of today as we seek to apprentice with Jesus.

We all understand the significance of a good match in relationship! From friendships to business partnerships to marriage the quality of our “union” with people significantly impacts the quality of absolutely everything in our life! Join us as we continue in our Teaching series, Simply Jesus, reflecting on the truth that our choice to apprentice with Jesus is the most significant union we will eve...

We are living in a time where it seems like there is no middle ground on any issue we face. The polarizing viewpoints are on full blast, and we find it easy to dismiss the ones we see on the other side of the spectrum. Join us on Sunday as we explore Jesus as central to counter formation and how lives can be knit together in a time of division.

As we continue our study of Colossians, this week, we are looking at Colossians 1:24-29. Paul sees how we, human beings, need a purpose. In this passage, Paul talks about the purpose of suffering, the purpose of mission and the purpose of identity and is speaking to all Christians - past, present and future. Join us as we hear from our StAAC Pastoral Intern, Dylan Overdyk. To give, make a prayer r...

In any broken relationship reconciliation is a gift beyond measure. To have the fracture mended, to experience undeserved grace in reconciliation is a powerful thing and impacts our lives in meaningfully significant ways. As we continue in our teaching series, Simply Jesus, studying the book of Colossians, Pastor Lisa shares the profound gift of reconciliation offered to us by God in Jesus and how...

Something we say often at St. Albert Alliance Church is that Jesus is First in everything. As we continue in our series, Simply Jesus, Pastor Lisa shares from Colossians 1:15-20. These six verses are widely regarded as the “pinnacle” of all the New Testament teaching concerning Jesus. This beautiful passage is central to who we are at St. Albert Alliance and continues to compel us to live a “Jesus...

When we hear the word ‘hope,’ we often associate it with wishful thinking, something akin to a wish - that our desired outcome will become a reality. Unfortunately, that kind of hope doesn’t have much staying power in the face of uncertainty and disappointment. Join us as Pastor Mike continues our series, Simply Jesus, and we explore the Confident hope Paul commends and how it can form the hope we...

What do we truly need to experience the kind of life Jesus intends for his followers? At the opening of his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul shares three gifts that result in our spiritual growth, a joyful life, and unshakeable security. They’re also crucial for us here at StAAC as we prepare for a new chapter in our church’s story. Join us as Carl Waldron continues our new series, Simpl...

“Who’s in charge anyway?” It’s a question that often gets asked on teams, in organizations and workplaces. In seasons of uncertainty, the desire to know who is in charge often intensifies. We look for someone to have the right answers, to know the direction and help us feel a sense of certainty. Join us on Sunday as we start our new series, Simply Jesus, looking at Christ as Head of the Church.

So many things in the Christmas season are filled with a sense of nostalgia. Whether it is your favourite Christmas baking or traditions with family and friends, each of these has the ability to take us back to times of joy and wonder. After a 19-month pandemic roller coaster ride, it can feel like the nostalgia is a little harder to experience this year. Join us as we reflect on the Good news, of...

Joy is something we all want to experience. However, it seems like life often wants to rob of us that joy. So, we do our best to manufacture it - we try to find it in a gift, a relationship or by distracting ourselves from our circumstances. What if joy isn’t something you create but something you choose? What if, no matter what season of life you find yourself in, Jesus is inviting us to choose j...

In our lives, we will inevitably face difficulties and go through storms, and it can be difficult to have hope in the midst of these storms. Join us as we begin our Advent series, God With Us, and Pastor Bob speaks about how we can find hope, even when we face the most difficult storms in life.

Sometimes the Bible can be hard to understand, can’t it?  Often passages from scripture that are difficult to understand can be real tripping hazards for us because misunderstanding God’s word can lead to misunderstanding His heart.  Join us as Pastor Lisa concludes our teaching series in the book of James, More than a Hashtag by addressing some potential tripping hazards with a fresh invitation f...

Have you ever gone through a hard time, and you said something like, that was one of the hardest things in my life, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything? Hopefully, we can look back and say the same about COVID sooner rather than later. God would not have us see only the short-term view of what’s going in life, but to have our sights on the long-term view and have a greater hope of eternity with J...

It's easy to look at the rich and famous and think that you aren’t very wealthy. It can even grow a sense of envy in our hearts as we live out of comparison, thinking if we just had a little more, the peace we are looking for would be ours. What if instead of peace, wealth actually brings anxieties. Join us as we continue our series more than a hashtag exploring our views on wealth and what it mig...

Who controls your life? It is a question that we face throughout our lives. We fight others for control in our lives whether it is not eating our vegetables at supper as a child, breaking curfew as a teen, or boasting of all our plans as an adult. We fight anything that may seem to challenge our sense of control even though, time and again, we are reminded that we aren’t in control.  Join us as we...
