About Sherwood Park Alliance Church

We break down what we're all about into three categories: our Purpose, Priorities, and Practices. You can find out more information about all of them below. 

At our core though, we want to be a church for you to find community and relationship, and to be encouraged and supported as you follow Jesus. We believe that He loves you and has a plan and purpose for your life, and we'd love to help you realize it and pursue it. 

We are affiliated with The Alliance Canada and love partnering with our denomination to reach people locally and globally with the good news of Christ as well as providing practical and physical support to those who need it most. 

You can reach out to us with any questions you might have, or check out our staff page to see who leads the various ministries of our church. 

Purpose

A place to BELONG & BECOME deeply rooted followers of Jesus.

We desire to be a church where you feel like you belong, no matter who you are, where you're coming from, or what your faith journey looks like. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get connected to our community and build relationships with others who call this place home. 

We don't want you to stop there, though. We believe it's important not only to find a place where you belong, but also one that points you towards Jesus and helps you to become more like Him. Our hope is that our services, ministry areas, groups, and events all help you find a place where you can belong and become deeply rooted followers of Jesus.

Priorities

  • Raising Up the Next Generation
  • Investing in Leadership Formation
  • Developing Strategic Global Partnerships
  • Cultivating Christ-Centered Community

Each year, our church leadership identifies priorities for the ministry year through prayer and seeking God's leading. Some priorities might remain on the list for several years, while others may change depending on what God is doing in our church.

Practices

Sacred Practices are time-tested and biblically inspired ways that that we become more like Jesus.

A couple times each year, we include a teaching series called Sacred Practices where we spend time digging into one of the practices and lean into it as a community. 

These practices aren't meant to help us pursue perfection, or earn God's love, but to give us tools and resources to become more like Jesus as He transforms us by the Holy Spirit. They give us opportunities to slow down, quiet the noise, and focus our attention on God's voice and leading. 

Take a look at some of the practices that we've talked about already and access some additional resources. 

Sabbath is more than time off or a change in routine. It's also not just a short break designed to get us ready to go back to work. Sabbath, when experienced as God intended, can be the best part of the week. It's an invitation to eat, play, dance, sing, pray, laugh, tell stories, read, paint, walk, and watch creation in its fullness. It’s a day to encounter God’s delight.

Sabbath Resources

Prayer is one of the primary ways we communicate and commune with God. This Sacred Practices series is designed to help us learn or relearn how to set aside dedicated time to be with God so that we might become like Him and partner with Him.

Prayer Resources

In a world of endless noise and distraction, Jesus invites us to find rest for our souls and to be alone with Him. Practicing solitude is not only for the sake of our own body and souls, but also for the sake of everyone we interact with.

Watch the Series

The library we call “the Bible” can connect us to God and change who we are, but distraction, hurry, and confusion can hinder our experience with these ancient texts. Rediscover how to engage Scripture.

Watch the Series

Advent felt like the most appropriate time to explore the idea of simplicity. When the world around us gets busier, spends more, plans more, attends more, this Sacred Practice invites us to live in a different way.

Watch the Series

Despite the unprecedented connectivity of the modern era, genuine community is vanishing. Isolation, transience, and superficiality can sabotage our formation into people of mature love. But through Jesus, we enter a new kind of family that offers intimacy, joy, healing, and commitment.

Watch the Series

We’re made in the image of a happy, generous God. When we practice generosity, we live according to our design and tap into God’s joy.

What We Believe

Sherwood Park Alliance Church is a part of The Alliance Canada (Christian and Missionary Alliance), which is a group of more than 400 local churches across Canada that aim to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, and Mission-focused.

We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Our faith is in Him. We believe the Bible is the living and true Word of God. It is an account of God's faithfulness and love for all of us, and the guide for the way we live our lives.

Vision Weekend

Check out this year's Vision Weekend service! Every year we dedicate a weekend to looking back on all that God has done in our church over the past year and what we believe He is leading us towards in the year to come. It's also an opportunity for several of our pastors to share about the ministry areas that they lead. 

Our Lead Pastor, Jeremy Cook, shares a brief vision message for our church for the upcoming year and encourages the church to lean into all that God is calling us toward.
