Annual Report 2011
Letter From Pastor Scott Weatherford
F
irst Alliance is an exciting church planted some 70 years ago in the thriving new west of
Canada. We exist to build lives that honour God. That means you ... your life ... your life matters –
and our lives matter to God in the building of His kingdom. Throughout this past year we have watched
in wonder as our great God has moved in power here at FAC. This annual report is more than a business
document but a reporting of what God is doing. As we look back, I want us to look forward as well. Last
year is behind us and God is moving ahead of us. With God’s movement in full view let me encourage you
with what we are seeing and seizing ...
Connection Matters: God longs to be connected with you and He wants you to live your life connected to others in His
family, the church. We connect to God through Jesus and then that connection makes us a family in the best sense of the word.
Family is where you are loved, needed, and missed when you aren’t there. At a church the size of FAC it is easy to get lost, so you
need a smaller group of connection. We call those groups Life Groups. You need one ... one needs you. Your connection matters.
In the coming year we are leaning into the process of forming and sustaining building life groups that will focus on disciple
making. We will connect to become disciples and to make disciples of all nations.
Spiritual Growth Matters: It is God’s desire that you live to the full potential of His design for your life. That means that
God has intended from the time you took those first steps toward Him that you would come to know Him and become like Him
in character. He wants you to know His plan for your life, how to live in vital connection with Him, how to talk with Him, how
to read and study the Bible - the definitive book about God and what our relationship with Him should look like. At FAC we are
committed to helping you to grow in your understanding of God, but also to live a life that is consistent with God’s desire for all
His children. Your spiritual growth matters and this happens best in a “building lives” life group!
Service Matters: Most of us, at some time or another, long to know that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
We wonder what we will be remembered for and by whom. At FAC, we believe that a life of service reaps great rewards; in fact,
we are committed to helping you discover that it is in serving and giving of yourself - time, abilities, gifts, resources - that you
will experience some of life’s greatest joys. We want you to find the perfect place - that place where you fit and can contribute to
building people both inside and outside the walls of the church. Your service matters!
Sharing Matters: We desire to be a place where you can discover God’s love in a supportive and welcoming environment. We
want to be people who build authentic relationship with others, and live in the context of those relationships – genuinely share
the love and grace of God in all we say and do. We are committed to using everything at our disposal – our resources, experience
and giftedness - to train and encourage people whose intent is sharing the love of God through relationship in Calgary and around
the world. We are on mission for God ... your sharing matters!
Families Matter: At FAC, we believe that your family needs to be a place of health and safety. We want you to know we are
for you, your kids, and your marriage. If you are single you are still a family, and a vital part of our bigger family. Families matter
here so we go out of our way to provide ministries, opportunities, classes, life groups, and other resources to build your family.
Your family matters!
Giving Matters: At FAC, we are not after your money ... we are after your heart. Giving to the Lord is the way to grow a big
heart. Whether you have a big pile of resources or a small pile, God wants you to trust Him with your resources. Everything we
have comes from God so giving back to Him is indeed an act of worship. We want you to find the joy of being generous ... after
all, God says you can test Him on this ... He promises to pour out a blessing when we give to Him. Your giving matters.
Leadership Matters: Who me ... a leader? Yes, you are. Every person is a leader even if you are merely leading yourself. At
FAC we believe that everything rises and falls on leadership. We want to provide every opportunity to grow the leader within you.
We are committed to train up leaders who lead well through God-honoring practices. We are out to change the world for God’s
glory and that requires leaders ... you are one! Your leadership matters!
Wow; that’s a lot to take in and we are committed to provide the needed resources to have your life built by God. This coming
year we will launch on-line resources, printed materials, and training opportunities that will move us with God advancing His
Kingdom. Know that we are here for you and together we can live to honor God. My life matters, your life matters. It’s not about
me ... it’s about God, who wants all of me! Let’s look back and celebrate and look forward to God moving!
Blessings,
Pastor Scott

Annual Report 2011
Letter From the Board of Elders
The year of 2010-2011 has been a blessed year at First Alliance – we celebrate what God has done in this past
year, and look forward to the challenges of the future in the journey that God is guiding us on. Our willingness
and ability to prayerfully follow His leadership will be the determining factor in facing our future challenges
and opportunities.
In celebrating the past year, we look at a number of indicators that give rise to a cause for celebration:
•
•
•
•
•
136 people baptized
418 new members
Over 6,000 people attended the “It’s a Wonderful Life” Christmas production
Total donations grew to just under $7 million
Connections were made through people’s involvement in 140 Life Groups
The areas above reflect our continued desire to be people that Connect, Grow, Serve, Share and Honour. These lifemarks are our
guides and they provide us with the markers to look at individually and corporately – asking ourselves if we are being consistent with
these areas and developing them in our lives. Ultimately, if we want to develop as individual believers and as a corporate body that
honours God, these aspects will continue to be reflected more and more in the living out of our lives.
This year has also been a year of transition as Pastor Terry Young concluded his time of ministry at First Alliance. We are very grateful
to God for Pastor Terry and Debbie’s service at FAC over a period of many years. The leadership, service, guidance and love they have
provided set a great example and standard for our congregation. As a congregation, we will continue to lift them up in our prayers in
dealing with the health issues facing Debbie, and ask that Jesus, the Great Physician, will anoint her with His healing touch.
As we look forward to 2011-2012 and beyond, we are secure in the knowledge that our God will guide us as He has done in the past.
While we must never take this for granted and need to continually be obedient to Him, we are confident that He will answer. As Scott
has mentioned in his note, each of us matters because each of us matters to God. He wants the most for us, and if we are a praying
and obedient people, He will accomplish great things for His Kingdom through us. May God bless each of you in this coming year,
and may you find your place to matter for God!
In His Name,
Dave Orr
On behalf of the Board of Elders

Second Segment
1. Report on Ministry
A. Ministry Story of 2009/2010 – Pastor Scott Weatherford provided a report of highlights in the ministry over
the past fiscal year. In addition to looking back he encouraged the congregation to make a commitment to being
bold in allowing God to work through us in the years ahead.
B. Glenmore Christian Academy Report – Grant Vogeli reminded the attendees of GCA’s beginnings 30 years
ago in the basement of First Alliance Church. He noted that FAC is becoming more involved in the governance
of GCA and also in participation with staff and students on a regular basis. He thanked the teachers and staff of
the school recognizing Cheryl Miller’s 29 years of service and welcoming principal Derek Mohammed who
recently joined the school administration.
C. Vision/Strategic Direction/God’s Movement – Pastor Scott Weatherford referenced Habakuk 1:5 and Isaiah
54:2-3 exclaiming, “Ride on King Jesus, no man can hinder You.” There are many things “bubbling up” evidencing
God’s work and his heart for people. Of special mention was the need to meet the needs of orphans in our city.
The key point of Pastor Scott’s comments was to remind us that we need to be strategically agile and ready to move
immediately when God calls.
D. Comments re. 2009 Question Items – Pastor Scott Weatherford addressed comments and questions raised
by the congregation at last year’s AGM. The most significant one and the one topic that the board of elders
committed to responding to was the topic of “Women as Elders”. This topic has and is continuing to be
investigated by the board in a thorough manner with the goal of discerning biblically what our practice should be
as a church. Pastor Scott affirmed the women of our church and acknowledged their effective leadership capabilities
in many areas.
E. Q&A on the Past Year and Future Plans – The congregation was invited to ask questions or comment on any
aspects of the activities and ministry of the church. Specifically, comments were made that affirmed the process
the board was undertaking to respond to the Women as Elders topic. Additionally a question about GCA’s
relationship with the Palliser School Board and the potential future fee schedule was responded to by Grant Vogeli.
2. Prayer time in Small Groups – Pastor Scott Weatherford asked the attendees to gather in small groups and pray for unity
within our church, the nation of Canada and our own individual response to God’s leading in our midst.

A STORY OF HEALING THOUGH FREEDOM
“In 2009, I hit rock bottom. In the years
previous, I emotionally abused my wife
and stepchildren, neglected my children,
lost my job, considered suicide, and
began to drink more and more heavily.
Then my wife discovered me viewing pornography. This was the crisis that brought
me to the brink of disaster. I was broken.
But the Lord had a future for me.
Through Freedom Session, a faith-based
12-step recovery program with Jesus at its
centre, He restored my life and revealed
to me the truth of His love for me. He
gave me healing and freedom from my
addictions, compulsive behaviours and
tendencies to do the wrong things – not
just the surface or “acting-out” things,
but also the deeper core issues. Alcohol and sexual impurity do not have a
TURNING MISERY
SESSION
place in my life anymore. As in Romans
12:1-2, I have been transformed! I know
that Jesus loves me, and I try to love others as He loves me.
I am now helping others to find freedom
and truth through leading at Freedom
Session. This is more than just simply
giving back to the program; it’s walking
beside broken brothers and sisters to help
them in their journey to build a future
based on healing and freedom. Words
cannot express my gratitude and thanks
to the Lord for leading me to freedom.
Hallelujah!”

27/28, 2010 bulletin)

INTO MINISTRY THROUGH DC4K
“Life was good growing up. I was raised in
a Christian home, had good friends, went
to camp in the summer, and played hockey
in the winter. However, when I was 13 my
life was turned upside down. My parents
were separating. I was hurt, confused, angry, and surprised. I couldn’t believe what
was happening to our family. I didn’t know
who I could talk to other than my sisters
and closest friends.
It seemed like everyone else had a “normal”
family and their parents were together. My
parents’ separation and later divorce was
the hardest thing I’ve ever been through.
Over the years, God has helped me deal
with the hurt and move on. He has taught
me a lot about grace and forgiveness. My
parents have both re-married and I have
a great relationship with them and their
spouses. For years it has been a huge
burden on my heart to help kids in the
church deal with the hurt of divorce,
but I didn’t know where to start. Now
there’s a great program which helps children who are going through this. A team
of amazing volunteers helped start the
DC4K (DivorceCare4Kids) program at
FAC and it’s been a very positive experience. We don’t have all the answers, but
I know with God’s help, we can continue
to make life a little easier for these hurting
kids.

W
hen we first tried to get connected, we loved the Life Groups we joined, but
each eventually disbanded or we could no longer attend. After some soul searching,
I decided to become a Life Group leader. Through Grouplink, we gathered several couples
into a new group. Several had been away from attending church and were just coming back.
My spouse and I were the only church members. We started with the 4-week “Re-Group”
lessons and then studied the book of John. We had many challenges but with prayer, leader
training, coaching and a whole-hearted commitment from each member, we persevered.
After two years, we lost half our members for reasons unrelated to the group. We were left
with a “pod” of six people. This year we thought the group might disband, but members took
initiative, changed our meeting time and two couples rejoined. Now, all are baptized members
of First Alliance. We study, serve, cry, laugh, learn, socialize and pray together. We have
seen hopeless situations turn around and watched our children get baptized. So, we continue
into our fourth year, praising God for the spiritual growth and amazing bond that has formed!
This is truly a LIFE group.” –Anonymous
LEADERS/COACHES IN 2010/11
SENIORS & FRIENDS provides opportunities for the young and old to relate to
each other through worship, connecting events,
day trips, short term mission opportunities, concerts and more, including biweekly Bible study
and prayer groups at Glenmore Manor and in
various homes; monthly luncheons; our Adopta-Student program offering prayer support for
Jr. & Sr. High students; computer labs to help
seniors become computer literate and various
serving teams. We have over 20 volunteers who
serve more than 400 seniors in various capacities, with even more opportunities for people to
connect with and serve our seniors both at FAC
and in our community!
– Ed Dyck, Pastor of Seniors’ Ministries.
MEN’S MINISTRIES was humming
along in 2010/11! Our annual Show ‘N Shine
in July is now one of the city’s largest car shows,
and is proving to be a great connection to the
community. Other highlights included two sold
out Mess Hall Breakfasts, where we packed
— 11 —
the Harvest Rooms with over 200 men to hear
Pastor Scott speak on “When a Man Loves a
Woman”. In November we enjoyed another
fabulous Date Night with Dad where 62 men
accompanied 80 “dates” and enjoyed a special
evening with their daughters/granddaughters.
We also launched a new monthly opportunity
to connect with our Monday Night Football/
Hockey Night in Canada gatherings, averaging
35-40 men. Come June, we had our Father/Son
Retreat at Camp Chamisall, with 26 fathers and
34 sons enjoying a memorable weekend together! A special thank you goes out to Grant Abbott
and the Band of Brothers leadership team for
serving so honourably, always striving to build
men that honor God here at FAC. – Grant
Sylvester, Pastoral Liaison to Men’s Ministries
A highlight was our Women2Women
Expo in April, focusing on beauty,
health and wellness with close to 50
local vendors and over 200 women in
attendance! It was so successful that
we are planning another one for April
2012. Our first Scrap & Chat weekend
brought 25 ladies together, and over
30 women attended our Sweet Life
Café retreat at Entheos. It’s Sew Easy,
Stitching Post and Quilter’s Corner
continue to bless groups in the community by providing special hand-crafted
items. Thank you to all our volunteers
who serve so faithfully in each of these
areas!
WOMEN’S MINISTRIES took on a
our community here at FAC! Fusion is
a dynamic community of single adults
(25-35 ish) committed to developing
genuine friendships and nurturing
Christ-centered living. Our goal is to
connect singles in Calgary and the
surrounding area with Christ and with
each other through weekly teaching,
Life Groups, retreats, outreach and social events. In 2010/11, average Sunday
evening attendance was 20, with an
average of 12 coming out to our special
events. – Lana Ilcisin, Fusion leader
new look in 2010/11 with a new name, logo and
leader – Tara Weatherford is now overseeing our
various ministries under the Women2Women
umbrella. Along with our Tuesday realife Bible
studies, where close to 140 women gather each
week, we have introduced some new opportunities: Intentional Friends is a mentoring program helping women as they journey through
life; Hospital Cheer Team is also a new group
who visit, pray for and encourage those in the
hospital. Our more adventurous joined our new
Hiking Club, exploring local mountain trails.

throughout the nations!” – Lois Buhler (Choir,
After-Service Prayer Team & more)
“I’m most happy when I’m helping someone.”
– Abe Klassen (Realife Kids, Harvest Ministries)

do that - and I love it!” – Steven Dyck (Christmas Day Luncheon, Show ‘N Shine, Choir &
more)

Gospel and become part of the family at First.”

peace in the midst of turmoil, we see the power

“
The outreach of FAC has made a significant difference in the life of Sherwood School.
Your volunteers supply and serve breakfast to up to 100 hungry students every school
day at minimal cost, and also painted classrooms in the school to make it an attractive
learning environment for students. Our staff were appreciated through a year-end luncheon hosted by FAC, and forty-seven of our students were given the opportunity to attend Camp Chamisall this summer due to the generosity of your church. Your ministry
to our community makes a huge difference, and demonstrates Christian life in action!”
OIL CHANGE DAYS
When Shelley Johnson talks about the oil
change ministry, she uses words like “blessing” and “amazing.” The single mother of
two boys, Johnson counts every penny, every second. “I like how it’s scheduled,” she
says. “I don’t have to think about it and
it certainly helps financially.” “I was attending DivorceCare when I saw it in the
bulletin,” she says. “I’m here on my own
from Penticton. There’s no one here but
me and my boys.” Johnson’s two sons, ages
9 and 11 are both autistic. “I love the social aspect,” she says. “I love that my boys
are welcome to come [to an Oil Change
Day], bounce on the trampoline and meet
people. I have to pay for respite care when
my boys can’t come, so it’s a big help when
they’re welcomed.” Through the kind consideration of the people who serve others

through the Oil Change Days, people like
Johnson have a chance to get out, to meet
interesting folks and to have their vehicles
– their lifelines in some cases – maintained. It’s an opportunity to bless and be
a blessing, to show real care and concern
for the way life gets lived. “I appreciate
Dale (one of the oil changers) so much,”
Johnson says. “I can call him when there’s
an issue with my van – and I’ve learned
a lot about it. It’s great to have someone
to bounce things off of.” The Oil Change
Days ministry is just one way we can show
the heart and hands of Jesus to our community – to demonstrate what it means
to be His people. “It’s amazing,” whispers
Johnson. “Amazing. They do such a great
job.” (Written by Tara Klager).

HIGHLIGHT ON THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
In 2010, we really wanted to figure out how
to most effectively continue our partnership
with Dr. Kenzo and the church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a result, we
sent a team of five in July 2010. Although
this is the first location to receive C&MA
workers 100+ years ago and the church is
large in numbers, they still seek assistance
because of the economic deprivation of the
country caused by war and political instability. The team surveyed the needs at the
Theological School in Boma and 3 medical works in Boma, Maduda and Kinkonsi.
We determined that there are great needs
in both areas and are thankful that over the
year, FAC raised $60,000 to help construct a
new dorm on the seminary campus and the
ground work was laid to send a container of
medical supplies for the medical clinics we
observed. We are thankful that our partnership with the church in Congo continues to
strengthen! – Pastor Pat Worsley

During last year, FAC obtained Sponsorship Agreement Holder (SAH) status
with the Canadian government, which
allows us as a church to sponsor refugees
to come to Canada. A number of our
ethnic members were refugees themselves,
and still have relatives who are presently
refugees – some living in camps for five or
more years.
As part of our Ethnic Ministries of justice
and compassion, we have undertaken to
sponsor some of these refugees. In 2010
we submitted applications for 12 indi-
viduals in 4 families and saw the arrival of
one couple in April and a family of three
in the new 2010/11 fiscal year. This effort
of compassion is supported financially
through our Care Fund, in kind by those
who donate furnishings and by volunteers
who give of their time to assist with the
many appointments and practical things
that are necessary for newcomers to settle
and adjust to a new life in Calgary.
Throughout the year we also continued
to provide translation of our services in
Farsi and Romanian and partnered with
the Vietnamese Church, Evergreen Christian Church and Bethel Sudanese Church
providing facilities, services and encouragement to these ethnic groups of believers.

UPDATE ON THE
HOUSE COFFEE SANCTUARY 2010/11
This year has been an amazing one for The
House. Our church plant continues to
grow and we’ve moved from having services once a month on Wednesday night to
having services every second Sunday morning! We have a wide range of people who
attend, from families with young children
to retired elderly and all sorts of people in
between. It’s been amazing as we’ve walked
through the Sermon on the Mount over the
summer, using it as our guide to see what
God has in store for our church community. The bonds between the coffee shop and
church community continue to strengthen
and grow.
The mission and the ministry of The House
Coffee Sanctuary continues to be building bridges between Christ and culture,
building relationships and making disciples
of people that would not darken the doors
of a typical church.
This year, we built a relationship with a
former bank robber. He had a great deal
of hostility towards Christ and the church.
He had been wrestling with the death of
his son, but as our staff began to ask him if
we could pray with him, miraculous things
began to happen. It wasn’t long before he
was off the street and reconnecting with his
family. Soon after that he gave his life to
Christ and has been making very positive
decisions in his life. He has started attending our church and is now plugged into a
life group here at The House.

GLENMORE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: 2010/11 - YEAR OF CELEBRATION!
Dr. & Mrs. Wendell
Grout were honored guests
along with Dave Rodney
(MLA), Dale Backlin
(longterm principal) and Phil Callaway
(speaker) at our 30th Anniversary Dinner with MC Darrel Janz. GCA Education Society chairs Stan Jespersen, Ken
Humphries, Lorne Jacobson and Grant
Vogeli (current) were acknowledged for
their significant and substantial leadership.
Recognizing God’s amazing plan which began in fall 1980 with 66 students in First
Alliance Church, then on Glenmore Trail,
to the present Bridlewood campus with
over 660 K-9 students was experienced
through a video presentation. A Family
Fun Day was also a highlight during the
celebration.
GCA welcomed Dr. Derrick Mohamed
as the new Lead Principal in September
2010. Derrick has a background with
Youth for Christ and many years in education in Toronto and Calgary. We are also
pleased to have 5 alumni as faculty mem-
bers, with 61 total faculty and staff; all of
whom are followers of Jesus who strive to
model His love.
Plans for GCA’s new Gr. 6-9 wing came
to fruition with construction underway.
Trying to create a space for learners who
are in a world of constant change is indeed
a challenge! Our desire is to continue to
educate students in a dynamic Christian
environment dedicated to excellence and
life development. GCA uses an “enriched” AB curriculum, and we accommodate for some students who may be
experiencing learning gaps and offer an
intentional program for students who
demonstrate a passion and skill for certain
disciplines. Based on Jesus’ model, every
pedagogical style is in evidence – diversity
exists! Technology is a tool to augment
learning in groups or individually.
Ministry endeavours continue to be a
focal point; Samaritan’s Purse (over 1100
shoeboxes), the Mustard Seed, Calgary
Pregnancy Care Centre, Louise Dean
School and our Costa Rica mission trip
– where 2 more houses were built by Gr.
9 students – are all examples of local and
global service. We have also partnered
with YWAM for almost 20 years; over
1,400 GCA students have been engaged in
foreign ministry. GCA was awarded the
title of “Top Fundraising School” in the
country for Shave for the Brave participation; this is under the sponsorship of
Young Adult Cancer Canada directed by
our own alumnus, Michael Lang.
Our Pinocchio production in March
2011 delighted several hundred in the W.
K. Grout Theatre. Alberta Education has
stated that GCA is the only school in the
province with this kind of facility; this is
indeed a blessing and it is used daily. An
exemplary visual arts and band program is
foundational. Sports teams continue to
thrive typically in volleyball, basketball,
badminton, and track. Monday evenings
alumni and staff enjoy playing volleyball
together. GCA is open for tours; call 403254-9050 at any time.
HARVEST MINISTRIES 2010/11: BAKING & BREAKING BREAD ... TOGETHER
“I started volunteering in Harvest Ministries about 4 years ago when my youngest
daughter was in Kindergarten. I only had
a few hours on Tuesday mornings, and decided I could spend my time in the church
kitchen. I started out by making hamburger soup each week. That has changed
somewhat over the last 4 years. I am now
doing a little bit of everything – including dishes! The Tuesday morning team has
grown and I truly enjoy working with each
person that comes through the kitchen.
We share stories, laugh and sometimes cry
together. I definitely feel this is where God
has called me to minister to other people
at this time.”
-Michelle Steiner
“I serve in Cornerstone Café not because of the coffee
(though it is excellent), or because of the friendships (though
they are many), or because of atmosphere, though fastpaced and exciting. We are truly serving up ‘face time’
with family and friends, old and new. We’re really building
relationships, which builds community. I serve in Harvest
because I want FAC to be a church of community!”

1. We will say yes to God! We will be a people who dare to
follow His leadership regardless the cost. We will be a people of
prayer and faith. We will live in a spirit of generosity believing
God will provide as He leads. We will be a people of plenty, not
scarcity. We will boldly ask people to invest to God’s work here.
We are the mission of God! (Zechariah 4:6; Ephesians 6:18; I
Thessalonians. 5:17-21)
2. We will create an intentional environment and a system
where people can come to a saving relationship with Jesus
Christ. We will be all about reaching people and assisting them
to grow into Christ-likeness. We will provide these experiences
for men and women, students, and children with intent and
creativity. (Luke 15; Romans 10:14,15; II Corinthians 3:4,5;
5:16-21; I Peter 2:9)
3. We will provide dynamic weekend worship gatherings for
all ages. These gatherings will be relevant and excellent using
the arts to touch the heart with teaching that is biblical leading
to God-honouring life change. We will leverage creativity that is
compelling, focused on the core biblical truth being taught that
will be evident from the moment one arrives on campus. We
will teach for life change and ask for various levels of commitment. We will be risk-takers, adding elements and experience
that will reach people while staying true to biblical truth. We
will make our gathering dynamic, compelling and creative. We
will use these experiences as a launch point to align all our experiences through personal development and life groups. (Deut.
6:5; Proverbs 3:9,10; Luke 10:38-24; John 17:3; Romans 12:7;
II Cor. 9:6-15; Ephesians 1:22-23; Philippians 3:8-10; Colossians 1:28; II Timothy 3:16-17; I Peter 1:23-24)
4. We will be a church of Life Groups for all ages, genders,
and life stages. These smaller gatherings will be the primary
place of care, spiritual growth, evangelism, and life change. We
will be innovators in this area making life groups a primary
place of entrance into following Christ. We will not settle until
everyone is connected to Jesus and to a Life Group. (Luke 6:1213; Acts 2:44-47; I Thessalonians. 2:7-12; Philemon 1:2)
5. We will create an environment and system for every
person to minister according to their God-given design.
Ministry matters! (Romans 12:8; I Corinthians 12:4-11;
Eph. 4:11-13; I Peter 4:8-11)
6. We will create a leadership engine to equip leaders to lead
well through time honored biblical concepts, modeled after
the servant leadership style of Jesus. This leadership engine
will be for the leaders of FAC and the body of Christ. We will
invest in the next generation, equipping them to serve in the
now and in the next. We will be a church that leads the way in
leadership development. (Romans 12:8; Neh. 1:1-2:20; John
13:3-5; Acts 6:2-5).
Annual Report 2011
7. We will join God in church planting and church restoration movements by being a teaching, research, and resourcing church. This effort will not be limited by geography or our
vision, but we will see and seize God’s vision. (Acts 13:1-3; Acts
16:6-10)
8. We will be intentionally engaged in bringing God’s love
to Calgary, Canada, North America, and the world through
prayer, projects, and the giving of resources. This effort will be
in direct relationship with the C&MA. We will base our efforts
on God’s movement through vital relationships, resourcing the
needs, and reaching the unreached. (Matthew 28:16-20; Acts
1:8; I Thessalonians 1:7,8)
9. We will function as a family by having fun, believing the
best, guarding unity, and structuring according to relationships and purpose. (John 13:34-35; 1 Cor. 12:1-13; I Corinthians 13; Philippians 2:1-11, Acts 2:42-47; Galatians 6:10; I
John 3:16)
10. We will be a people and place of help, healing, and hope
for individuals and families. (Matthew 5:14-16; Luke 10:2537; James 2:14-26)
11. We will create a core curriculum and an ongoing
resource that allows people to develop into Christ-like
maturity by equipping them to connect, grow, serve, share their
faith, develop a generous heart, lead their families to honor
God, and develop the leader within. We will use creativity and
technology to accomplish this vision. (John 14:21; 2 Cor. 8:7;
Eph. 4:15-24; Phil. 1:6; II Timothy 2:2; James 1:22-25; Hebrews 12:1; 1 Peter 2:1-3)
12. We will pay off our debt and expand our current campus
creating an environment for building the lives of preschoolers, children, and students. (II Corinthians 9:9-15)
13. We will give our very best in all that we do and we will
also leverage technology as we pursue the vision detailed
above for the glory of God. (Malachi 1:6-14; Proverbs 27:17;
Corinthians10:31; Colossians 3:17; I Thessalonians 2:12)
All of this is a re-statement of the vision God gave before I came to
First Alliance Church as pastor. It is my prayer that we will clearly
define this vision, create strategies to accomplish this vision, and
work in unity until God fulfills this vision or calls us home.
– Scott Weatherford (Lead Pastor)

Annual Report 2011
The Power of Everyone campaign concluded during the year but donors continued to contribute toward Debt
Reduction.
Missions Fund giving was up overall by 3% or $39 to $1,227.
• FAC’s funding for Alliance Foreign Missions grew to $806 compared with $720 last year, partly due to the
$50 transferred from the prior year’s General Fund surplus.
• The short term mission trips in 2010-11 incurred $144 lower costs than last year.
Care Fund giving was up by 36% or $86 to $324.
GENERAL FUND HIGHLIGHTS
The General Fund had a surplus of $177 compared to $212 in the prior year. Revenues increased by $313 (mostly in giving)
and expenses increased by $348.
• Staff costs increased by $216 due to increases in pay rates and total paid hours. Offsetting revenues decreased by
$29 due to reduced pastoral subsidy.
•
•
•
Sales volume at The House was down this year by $31 and expenses dropped by $21.
Library and Resource Centre expenses were up $17, while revenues were up $31 due to greater activity.
Worship Arts expenses were up $29 and revenues were up $21 due to higher amounts for the Christmas
production and Concert of Hope.
•
•
Harvest expenses were up $32 and revenues were up $18 due to greater activity and price increases.
Life Connect expenses decreased $40 and revenues decreased $36 mostly due to the Beth Moore seminar in the
prior year.
•
Pastoral administration increased $25 mostly in the area of professional development.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION
The debt required to provide FAC’s current facilities was paid down by $659, reducing it from $10.5 million to $9.8
million. The declining loan balance offset the slight interest rate increase such that interest expense decreased from $332 to
$324.
In anticipation of expansion, during the year First Alliance Church invested $36 in expansion planning activities,
accumulated $400 cash, and arranged a $5,000 borrowing facility.

OVERALL SUMMARY
All of the above leaves First Alliance Church in a positive financial position, as needed to support ministry to a growing
congregation. We are thankful for God’s continued provision through the giving of His faithful people. This year’s financial
results should encourage all of us to continue trusting Him as we take on the larger challenges and opportunities in FAC’s
vision.
Respectfully submitted,

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
JUNE 30, 2011
The accompanying financial statements are the responsibility of management and have been reviewed
and approved by management. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles and of necessity include some amounts that are based on
estimates and judgments.
To discharge its responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of financial reporting, management
maintains a system of internal accounting controls comprising written policies, standards and
procedures, a formal authorization structure, and satisfactory processes for reviewing internal
controls. This system provides management with reasonable assurance that transactions are in
accordance with governing legislation and are properly authorized, reliable financial records are
maintained, and assets are adequately safeguarded.
The Church carries out its responsibility for the financial statements through the Finance and
Facilities Committee. This Committee meets with management and the external auditors to review
financial matters, and recommends the financial statements to the Church Board of Elders for
approval upon finalization of the audit. The external auditors have free access to the Finance and
Facilities Committee.
The external auditors provide an independent audit of the financial statements. Their examination is
conducted in accordance with Canadian auditing standards and includes tests and procedures, which
allow them to report on the fairness of the financial statements prepared by management.

AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
Independent Auditor’s Report
To the directors and members of First Alliance Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of First Alliance Church of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance, which comprise the statements of financial position as at June 30, 2011 and the
statements of operations and changes in fund balances, and cash flows for the years then ended, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian auditing standards. Those standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
First Alliance Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance at June 30, 2011, and its results of
operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles.
Other matters
The financial statements of First Alliance Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance for the
year ended June 30, 2010, were audited by KPMG who expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements on September 17, 2010.

FIRST ALLIANCE CHURCH OF THE CHRISTIAN AND
MISSIONARY ALLIANCE
Notes to Financial Statements
1. General:
The First Alliance Church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (the "Church") is a not-for-profit
organization incorporated under the Religious Societies Lands Act of Alberta. The Church is a
registered charity within the meaning assigned by subsection 248(l) of the Canadian Income Tax
Act and accordingly is exempt from income taxes. The Church’s mission is to introduce people to
Jesus Christ, to grow together in full devotion to Him, and to reproduce this process in others.
2. Significant accounting policies:
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants for not-forprofit organizations.
(a) Fund accounting:
The Church follows the restricted fund method of accounting for contributions.
(i) The General Fund reports revenues and expenditures related to the operations, program
delivery and administration of the Church.
(ii) The Missions Fund reports only restricted resources that are to be used for missions’
purposes locally and globally.
(iii) The Capital Fund reports revenues, expenditures and financing related to building
improvements, replacement of existing equipment and new equipment purchases.
(iv) The Care Fund reports restricted resources that are to be used to assist individuals and
families in securing materials and services deemed to be essential. The Care Fund also
reports restricted resources contributed in the memory of a deceased individual and are
for purposes requested by the donors or those approved by the Board of Elders.
(b) Revenue recognition:
Designated offerings, which are restricted contributions, related to general operations are
recognized as revenue of the General Fund in the year in which the related expenses are
incurred. Contributions received but not recognized as revenue are reported as deferred
revenue of the General Fund. All other restricted contributions are recognized as revenue of
the appropriate restricted fund when received or receivable.
General offerings, which are unrestricted contributions, are recognized as revenue of the
General Fund in the year received or receivable if the amount to be received can be
reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured.

MISSIONARY ALLIANCE
Notes to Financial Statements, page 2
2.
Significant accounting policies (continued):
Earned revenues and recoveries are recognized as revenue when the services or goods are
provided. Earned revenues include rental revenue, library sales and commissions, Harvest
and House sales of food, merchandise, and beverages, and others.
(c) Contributed services:
The Church receives the benefit of contributed services from numerous individuals in many
service delivery capacities. Because of the difficulty in determining the quantum or the value
of such services they have not been recognized in the financial statements.
(d) Financial Instruments:
The Church has classified its financial assets and financial liabilities as follows:
Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
Classification
Subsequent Measurement and
Recognition
Cash and bank
indebtedness
Held-for-trading
Measured at fair value with changes in
fair value recognized in the Statement of
Operations.
Accounts receivable
and employee loans
Loans and
receivables
After initial fair value measurement,
measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method.
Accounts payable
and short term loans
Other liabilities
After initial fair value measurement,
measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method.
The Church does not use hedges or embedded derivatives in non-financial contracts.
(e) Inventory:
Inventory is comprised of groceries and bookstore merchandise and is valued at the lower of
cost and net realizable value as determined by management. The amounts reported in the
Schedule of Expenses – General Fund as expenses for House Ministry, Library and
Resource Centre, and Harvest ministries are primarily cost of sales.
(f) Property and equipment:
Purchased property and equipment are recorded in the Capital Fund at cost including interest
capitalized while property is under construction. Contributed property and equipment are
recorded at fair value at the date of the contribution. Amortization is recorded as expense in
the Capital Fund. No amortization expense is recorded until the assets are placed into
service.
— 30 —
Annual Report 2011
MISSIONARY ALLIANCE
2. Significant accounting policies (continued):
Amortization is provided on property and equipment utilizing a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives as follows:
Building
Furniture and equipment
Computers
50 years
10 years
4 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(g) Future Employee Benefits
The Church sponsors a defined contribution pension plan for eligible staff. Employer
contributions are disclosed as retirement funds in the Schedule of Expenses – General Fund.
This plan provides participants with an account balance at retirement based on the
contributions made to the plan and investment income earned on the contributions based on
investment decisions made by the participant.
(h) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant items subject to such
estimates and assumptions include amortization of property and equipment and accrual of
liabilities. Actual results could differ from estimates.
3. Changes to accounting framework:
In December 2009, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) issued International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises
("ASPE"). The AcSB will require all not-for-profit organizations to either adopt IFRS or ASPE
plus the current not-for-profit standards for annual financial statements relating to fiscal years
beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The Church has decided to adopt ASPE plus the current
not-for-profit standards for the June 30, 2013 financial statements. Management does not expect
this change to have a significant impact.

7. Short-term loans (continued):
The Church has available a $300,000 revolving demand facility bearing interest at bank’s prime
rate plus 1.05% to fund operations of which $nil (2010 - $nil) has been drawn upon at June 30,
2011. Effective February 14, 2011 the Church also has available a $5,000,000 revolving demand
facility bearing interest at bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% to fund expansion of the Church’s
premises. This second facility can only be drawn upon after approval by the Church`s
membership and the specific repayment terms will be determined at the time of drawing. $nil has
been drawn upon at June 30, 2011. The aggregate of amounts drawn under these two facilities
shall not exceed $5,000,000 at any time. Both facilities are secured by the same assets as the
non-revolving demand loans.
The syndicated mortgage is secured by a second mortgage on the land and building owned by
the Church. The syndicated mortgage is repayable five years from date of issue: $50,000 in
2012, $25,000 in 2013, and $64,000 in 2014.
Interest expense on the short-term loans in the amount of $324,887 (2010 - $331,954) is included
in support costs of the Capital Fund. Cash paid for interest was $324,238 (2010 - $361,909).

9. Controlled entity:
The Church controls GCA Educational Society (the “Society”) which owns and operates
Glenmore Christian Academy (“GCA”). The Society is a not-for-profit organization whose purpose
is to provide schooling for children from Kindergarten through to Grade 9. The Elders of the
Church Board are the members of the Society and as such appoint the Society’s Board of
Directors.
Effective September 1, 2008 the Society and the Board of Trustees of Palliser Regional Division
No. 26 (the “Palliser Board”), entered into an agreement whereby the Palliser Board is
responsible for the alternative education of all students from Grade 1 through 9. This agreement
changed entitlement to revenues and responsibility for costs.
The financial statements of the Society have not been consolidated in the Church’s financial
statements. Financial statements of the Society are available on request. Financial summaries of
this unconsolidated entity as at August 31 and for the years then ended are as follows:

10. Financial instruments:
Fair values:
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and
accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short periods to maturity of
these items.
The employee loans approximate their fair value as there are no specific terms of repayment.
The carrying values of the non-revolving term loan, demand loan, the promissory note, and the
syndicated mortgage approximate their fair value because they are current in nature.
Interest rate risk:
The Church is exposed to interest rate risk on its unsecured demand loan from WCD and the
syndicated mortgage, as they are at variable rates of interest based on the banks’ prime rates
which was set at 3.00% as at June 30, 2011. A 1% fluctuation in the interest rate would have an
approximate impact of $23,390 per annum. The Church is not significantly exposed to any further
interest rate risk as the remainder of the short-term loans are at fixed rates of interest.
Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Church cannot fund its obligations as they come due. The Church
prepares annual budgets for the General, Missions, and Capital Funds and actively monitors its
cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The Church is exposed to liquidity
risk by being dependent on continued offerings for cash inflows and on the bank for renewing the
non-revolving term loan as disclosed in Note 7. It is management’s opinion that the bank will
renew under similar terms.
Risk management:
It is management’s opinion that the Church is not significantly exposed to any credit, market, or
foreign exchange risk.

11. Capital management
For operating purposes, the Church defines capital as including working capital and fund
balances. For capital purposes, the Church defines capital as including bank indebtedness, short
term loans, and investment in capital assets. The Church’s objectives for managing capital are in
the short term to safeguard the Church’s ability to continue to reach people and change lives
and in the long term to provide sufficient physical capacity to meet the future needs of our
people.
The majority of the Church’s revenue is from offerings, some of which is restricted and reported
as described in note 2 (a). The Church has internal control processes to ensure that restrictions
and designations are met prior to the utilization of these resources and has been in compliance
with these restrictions and designations throughout the year. The Church monitors attendance,
offerings and debt repayment obligations.
The Church has external financial reporting covenants on its non-revolving term loan of a debt
service coverage requirement of not less than 1.10:1. The Church is in compliance with this
covenant at year-end.
12. Comparative figures:
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement
presentation adopted in the current year.
