Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
And here it is—the moment when promise becomes presence. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” The story that began in ancient prophecy and grew through wilderness voices and whispered “yeses” now bursts into the world. God’s light has come, and it still shines. The night is real, but it isn’t final. The Light has come, and the darkness will not win.

Advent doesn’t end when the candles burn down; it begins to take shape in how we live. John says that to know God is to love others—that’s what it means to walk in the light. The darkness is passing, and the true light is already shining. Living in the light means choosing love over resentment, grace over cynicism, compassion over indifference. The light we celebrate is meant to be lived.
Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
This Sunday at StAAC:
We are still Longing for the Light. Join us for the Third Sunday of Advent as we focus on Receiving the Light.
When the angel comes to Mary, she doesn't have all the answers - just enough faith to say "yes". When the angel comes to Zechariah, he looks at all his grief - and pauses. The miracle of Christmas begins with one person's willingness to trust what she couldn't see, and another person facing the grief of his own story. The Light of the world enters through humble, open, and audaciously courageous hearts. Advent invites us to the same posture: audacious courage, surrendered trust, and the risk of saying yes to God.
Read ahead in Luke 1 to get familiar with the stories that will be shared regarding Mary and Zechariah.
Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
This Sunday at StAAC: We are still Longing for the Light. Join us for the Second Sunday of Advent as we focus on Preparing for the Light.
Before the light breaks through, someone stands in the wilderness shouting, "Prepare the Way!" John's message is clear and simple; it's time to come home-the Kingdom is at hand. Find out who this John is and why his message to "Prepare the Way!" is so important to us today.
Read ahead in Luke 1:13-17; 39-44; 3:1-6 to get familiar with the stories that will be shared regarding John, the herald to the light.

This weekend is a milestone moment in the life of our church family. We are thrilled to welcome Greg Clark, our new Lead Pastor, along with his wife Farrell and their kids, as Greg begins his ministry with us. This will be our first opportunity to greet the Clark’s as we step into this new season together with gratitude and anticipation.
It’s fitting that their arrival coincides with the first Sunday of Advent—a season marked by hope, expectation, and the promise of new beginnings. In every generation, people have longed for light—something steady to guide them through the dark. Advent is a season for that longing, and a reminder that God has already answered it. Into a world of shadows, Christ came as the true Light—offering hope, healing, and the promise that darkness will never have the last word.
Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!

What does real faith look like in real life? The Book of James doesn’t pull any punches—it’s bold, practical, and unapologetically focused on how we live, not just what we believe. In a world full of noise, pressure, and conflicting voices, we’re invited to walk The Way of Wisdom—a path shaped by humility, integrity, and active faith.
This week we’re looking at James 4:1-12, where we learn how conflict and pride reveal what rules the heart. The wisdom of James invites us to move from self-dependence to surrender - to trade ego for grace.
Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
In a world obsessed with proving ourselves and chasing success, James reminds us that not all wisdom leads to life. Worldly wisdom is fueled by envy and selfish ambition and ultimately breeds disorder, but wisdom from above is born out of God-centered humility and results in peace and righteousness. True wisdom isn’t found in striving or comparison, but in slowing down to be in God’s presence—listening, yielding, and living out heaven’s wisdom here on earth.
Worship Set:
Freedom – Jesus Culture
Praise – Elevation Worship
Praise You Anywhere – Brandon Lake
So Much – Life Church Worship
Abundantly More – North Point Worship
Jesus At The Center – Israel and New Breed
God I Look To You – Bethel Music

Life is full of decisions, challenges, and pressure—and let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to know the right path forward. That’s why we’re diving into the Book of James in a new series we’re calling The Way of Wisdom.
James is direct, practical, and speaks right into the realities of everyday life. It’s about more than belief—it’s about how your faith actually shows up: in your words, your work, your relationships, even your money.
If you’re looking for clarity, challenge, and encouragement, this is for you. Join us this Sunday as we start to walk the way of wisdom—together.

This weekend, we’re wrapping up our Who We Are series with a focus on generosity. At St. Albert Alliance, we believe generosity reflects God’s heart and a key part of who we’re called to be. It’s not just about giving money—it’s about living open-handedly, trusting that what we have comes from God and can be used to bless others. Let’s discover together how generosity strengthens community, fuels mission and shapes us into a people who reflect God’s love in real, practical ways—wherever we live, work, and play.

In our Who We Are series, we’ve been exploring what it means to be a church family shaped by Jesus. This week, we’re diving into the call to be servants—not because it’s a nice idea, but because Jesus Himself came not to be served, but to serve. Scripture shows us that every follower of Jesus has been gifted by the Holy Spirit to play a vital role in building up the body of Christ. Together, we’ll discover how serving isn’t just about tasks—it’s about embodying who we are as God’s people.

Have you ever felt disconnected, lonely and fragmented?
This Sunday we are speaking about how small groups offer us a haven of fellowship, support, and spiritual growth. They are the places where we can build meaningful relationships, share our struggles and triumphs, and deepen our understanding of God's Word together. We will explore how small groups can transform our lives, strengthen our faith, and help us grow closer to God and to each other.

Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
Church isn’t just a building—it’s people. It’s you and me, living out our faith together wherever we are.
This weekend we’re kicking off a short series called Who We Are—where we’ll explore some of the values that shape us as a community: following Jesus with everything we’ve got, staying connected to one another, serving with purpose, and practicing generosity.
Each week, we’ll unpack one of these values, discovering what it looks like to live them out not just here on Sundays, but in our everyday lives—where we live, work, and play.
Join us on this journey as we remind ourselves what it means to be the church—together.

This Sunday's final message from our Summer in the Psalms is on Psalm 139 - a psalm of awe and intimacy, a reminder that God knows us completely and loves us still. In every hidden place, in every uncertain step, He is present. This weekend, we’ll discover how the God who formed us and searches our hearts also walks with us, guiding and holding us in every moment.

How would you summarize in one song a life long walk with the Lord? Psalm 145 is David’s last written Psalm as he reflects on what God has meant to him.
Watch the full service on our Youtube Channel.
In this Psalm King David models the honest, transformative practice of confession. This Sunday we’ll walk through three movements: owning our sin before God, asking Him to make us new, and responding in surrendered worship. As we reflect on our own brokenness, we’re invited into the grace of Jesus through communion, community, and the hope of renewal. True confession isn’t about guilt management—it’s about restoration and intimacy with God.
Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church!
The Psalms are a soundtrack for the soul—raw, honest, and rooted in every season of life. Whether you're resting or reaching, joyful or grieving, these ancient prayers help us bring our whole selves to God.
This weekend, we turn to Psalm 46, a powerful declaration of trust in the middle of chaos. When the world feels unsteady, this Psalm reminds us that God is our refuge and strength—ever-present, unshakable, and near.
