In-person attendance 56; approx. 97 watched on livestream. Members voting in-person 46; members voting by online proxy 76. OPENING PRAYER Gord Miller, Chair of the Board of Elders, welcomed those in attendance, both in the room and on livestream, and opened the meeting in prayer. Gord explained the effort and details of this AGM, and thanked Tereasa Basaraba, Dayla Lahring and Lawrence Stalder for their time and effort in preparation. This meeting is very different from previous meetings due to the pandemic, including options to vote by proxy and “attend” via livestream. Gord explained how the online proxy vote was conducted; the proxy votes will be combined with the in-person votes today to determine decisions and election results. CALL TO ORDER – Gord read from Rev. 4: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. Worthy are you to receive glory and honour and power.” This is the language of heaven, the voice of his created, and we walk into the presence of the Lord God Almighty. Pastor Ian prayed to ask God’s blessing and direction on our meeting. Gord then called the meeting to order. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Moved by Brent Epp, seconded by Charlene Anderson, to adopt the agenda as circulated in the 2019/2020 Annual Report. Carried. APPROVAL OF 2019 ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES DATED JUNE 2, 2019 Moved by George Coutts, seconded by Doreen Randshuizen, to approve the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Minutes (June 2, 2019) as circulated in the 2019/2020 Annual Report. Carried. LEAD PASTOR’S REPORT Pastor Ian Trigg expressed gratitude for and pride in staff and leaders who adjusted ministry operations quickly during the pandemic. First focus was how to navigate; we will discuss how to move forward. In Mark 9, a boy with a demon was brought by his father to Jesus in Galilee and Jesus healed him. “All things are possible” for those who believe, and the father prayed in desperation. God is calling us to a deeper level of prayer; we need to listen to Jesus more carefully. Pastor Ian expressed gratitude to the Board of Elders, both Board Chairs this year—Terry Hawley and Gord Miller, and Jim Palmer and Allen Adrian whose terms as Elder have ended. The Western Canadian District (WCD) has also supported us in many ways. Additional highlights: 2020 devotional series has been a way to connect during COVID-19. Treasurers have had to make hard decisions during COVID. The re-launch team, headed by Ken Chapman, and Carla Olsen Draper at the pastoral team level, have researched and worked hard to enable us to safely return to services and activities. What is coming: financial goals in annual report, goal to eliminate debt Discipleship and disciple-makers, lay engagement; pray first. We can plan, try to be organized, and have creativity, but need to listen to Jesus overall to find out what God wants to do at and through Foothills. Moved by Tim Gibbons, seconded by Lloyd Anderson, to accept the Lead Pastor’s report as included in the 2019/2020 Annual Report and verbally highlighted by Ian Trigg. Carried.

BYLAW AMENDMENTS Moved by Lawrence Stalder, seconded by Ken Chapman, to adopt the highlighted changes to the Foothills Alliance Church Bylaws as presented in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Carried. Article II Government Bylaw 4 The quorum for any meeting of the membership shall consist of members present. For the purpose of determining quorum, a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by eletronic means approved in advance by the Board. New Bylaw 8 At the Board’s discretion any meeting of the membership can include participation by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities that permit participants to vote and communicate adequately with each other during a meeting of members in the manner provided by the policies and procedures of Foothills Alliance Church. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting. Article V Amendments Bylaw 1 These Bylaws may be amended from time to time by a three-quarters (3/4) majority vote at the annual meeting or a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose. QUESTIONS/ANSWERS: • What happens to a proxy vote if a motion changes at the meeting? There is a question on the proxy asking the member to select one of the following: OPTION A: On any amendments or additional issues that arise, my proxy holder may vote on my behalf in any manner as the proxy holder sees fit. OR OPTION B: On any amendments or additional issues that arise, my proxy holder shall abstain from voting on my behalf. Our proxy only had one proxy holder. If the question was contentious then the member should be allowed to select their proxyholder. The board is only planning on using proxies in exceptional circumstances such as a pandemic. Robert Rules of Order recommends that not-for- profit organizations should not normally use a proxy. • In contentious issues, two proxy holders would represent each side of the issue. Who decides what is a contentious issue? All AGM motions are reviewed by the board. The board motions are a simple majority; however, if we get to a point where there is a material split, we typically hold the decision for prayer and • additional discussion and seeking the Lord’s direction. An example of this would have been the decision to allow women as elders. The board deliberated on this item for over a year on their own before bringing this forward to the members. RESULTS OF ELDER ELECTION—Gord Miller announced that the following were elected to the Board of Elders for the year 2020/21: Sharon Anderson, Matt Chan, Garrick Fryklind, Terry Hawley, Gord Miller, Seyi Odewale, Steve Plett, Lawrence Stalder, Mandy Trask, and Karen Vine. Tellers counted both votes in the room and online proxy votes. MOTION FOR THE DISPOSITION OF BALLOTS—Moved by Allen Adrian, seconded by Dave Anderson, that the ballots used for the election of Elders and members of the Nominating Committee be destroyed. Carried. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION—Peter Dyck reviewed the characteristics of elders and led a prayer of consecration over the newly elected Board. ADJOURNMENT—Moved by Karen Vine to adjourn the meeting. Carried. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Anderson, Board Secretary Resiliency. It appears to be the word of the year. Phase one of the pandemic thrust us all into a world of innovation, collaboration and trepidation! We’ve all faced adversity and trials before – but nothing like COVID. It threw us into unknown waters and we did our very best to survive. I’m incredibly proud of the “resiliency” our leadership community displayed in those days. The Board met weekly. The staff completely shifted in a matter of days from in-person ministry to online programming. I was so proud of us all! Surely, we would stay afloat for these few months of pandemic. All would be back to normal by August? Perhaps September! We could do this! We’re a resilient people! Then Phase two landed upon us. It severely tested our resolve to stay hopeful and engaged. We grew tired of saying “you’re muted!” We ran out of home improvement projects. Netflix felt more like an addiction than a friend. We became incredibly familiar with “Zoom fatigue” and grew weary of masking our faces (and our feelings). The common call from health officials, political leaders and pastors was to “persevere.” We resonated with feelings of weariness and struggled to feel connected. Our hope for a return to something resembling “normal” was now pushed back to January. We became more aware of not only the limitations of restrictions, but the losses of restrictions. People’s mental health challenges were becoming increasingly obvious. Social isolation was leading to emotional vulnerability. We all felt at least a taste of it. Then came Phase three, and if COVID wasn’t concerning enough, we were introduced to variants. The pandemic became far more personal and “in here” more than “out there.” We had five staff member families alone who faced COVID. Many of us encountered the virus personally. Some were mildly sick. Others devastatingly so. One much-loved member ended up on a ventilator. Resiliency and perseverance seem like impossible demands. We are tired. We are so done with all the upheavals. How does one write an annual report amidst such realities? We normally celebrate all that God has done in a space like this. Well … we appear to be surviving! Thriving seems like a stretch in defining us right now. We’re working hard to stay connected, but I daily fear some are falling through the proverbial cracks. Last week, we had our first baptism in an entire year. (That grieves me deeply to write – though it was a beautiful moment!) There have been thousands of phone calls, hundreds of walks, a handful of porch prayers prayed and occasional meetings at the church. Our pastoral staff has worked so hard to serve, teach, lead and pray for us all. I’m deeply grateful for all they’ve done. I could spend pages writing about each of them, but let me highlight two who have gone so far above and beyond. Carla Olsen Draper has repeatedly put her hand up to lead and serve throughout this pandemic. She has been our principal voice on managing all things COVID and has led with dedication and wisdom. And Rebecca Schnell has given stellar leadership to our weekend service programming. She has been gracious, kind, creative and authentic through it all, and her team has been amazing. Every pastor has stepped up and served well, we are dearly blessed. I also want to thank our leaders and writers of The 20/20 Project. It has been such a gift to keep us somewhat connected to Jesus and to each other. I anticipate the daily reads greatly. And you as a congregation have exceeded my wildest dreams as the faithful people of God. You have loved. You have given. You have hoped. You have encouraged. You have blessed. You have trusted. You have persevered. I’m so grateful to be a part of the Foothills Family. What comes next? I’m more than a little weary of trying to predict the future! I know we will continue to innovate and collaborate. I know we will persevere and press on. I know we will lament “family only weddings” and other losses due to social isolation. I know we will do our best to care for each other. I’m hopeful we will gather again sometime in the next month or two. I anticipate a significant fall season of regathering, reconnecting and refocusing our efforts to be the church Jesus gave his life to build. But of everything I know and hope and anticipate, I rest most deeply in the promise of Jesus that “He will build his church and the very gates of hell will not prevail against her.” He will use this pandemic to bring glory to his bride and honour to his mission. Our passion to know God will grow deeper and stronger. He will deepen our understanding of and appreciation for authentic biblical community. We will love each other more intimately and intentionally. We will continue to find ways to reach our neighbours and share the wonder of Jesus with them. And we will continue to serve our world with the hope and grace of Jesus. There are some initiatives coming that I can’t wait to share with you! We will soon relaunch with even greater resolve and resiliency and great days are ahead. I honestly believe this! Thanks for your faithfulness and for joining us in this transforming journey. The God we serve is able to do abundantly more than all we could ever ask for or imagine. May that truth live in us deeply and sustain us in all the journey. I’m so grateful for you and that you are an integral part of all God wants to do in us and through us. As always, be safe, be strong, be kind, be well – and be filled with hope in Jesus! So grateful to be your pastor! LEAD PASTOR IAN TRIGG COVID-19 HOW FOOTHILLS ADAPTED TO THE PANDEMIC Like many other churches, Foothills has been profoundly impacted by COVID-19. We believe God called us to steward our people well, and to live as People of the Book. This means that in an ever-changing world, we stay grounded in the inspired Scriptures. As we’ve had to pivot from meeting in-person to online several times, our pastoral and support staff have shown great resliency and adaptability. Pastors moved their studies, groups and one-on-one meetings online, and our worship team worked diligently to create an engaging online experience.

The Nominating Committee’s mandate is to “nominate sufficient qualified candidates to fill the number of specified board positions. Women and men are eligible to be elected as elders provided they meet all other qualifications in the bylaws.” The Nominating Committee is allowed to present as many candidates as it finds suitable. The Nominating Committee is responsible to ensure that all persons being nominated for eldership meet the qualifications required by Scripture, as well as required by the Local Church Constitution and Bylaws. The nominating process involves meeting several times for candidate interviews and prayerful consideration. Prayer and reflection inform each step. With COVID-19 restrictions relating to in-person meetings, the board has decided to allow our members to vote via proxy. The management of the proxy is a task for tellers. The tellers are required before the AGM to manage the proxy vote. The board asked the Nominating Committee to bring forward names for members willing to be tellers for the 2020 AGM. The Nominating Committee has recommended these tellers for the 2020 AGM, which has been approved by the board. The tellers are: Ken Chapman, Chris Boelcke, Charlene Anderson, Marva Goertzen be appointed as tellers for the 2021 AGM. The board asks the members to approve these named tellers. Foothills Elders are elected for one-year terms, for a maximum of six consecutive terms. The Nominating Committee has thoroughly vetted the following candidates and asserts that they meet the qualifications required by Scripture, the Local Church Constitution, our Policies and our Bylaws.

We have gender-specific Discipleship Groups of three to five people that meet together each week to read the Bible, pray with one another, and help each other grow into greater Christlikeness. These groups exist as an extension of our Community Groups (our small group ministry). As we continued to respond to the challenges of the pandemic, we found that focusing on empowering leaders to invest in these Discipleship Groups has made a significant difference in the overall health and engagement of our church. In the last six months, we were able to baptize three adults, and have seen our church experience growth to the point that we have been able to create two part-time staff positions on our leadership team, with the vision to develop church planters for new multiplicative works in the coming years. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we continue to show and share the kindness of Jesus, helping others to find and follow him! GLACIER RIDGE CHURCH Glacier Ridge Church (GRC) launched fall 2018 with its first public service on September 16. At GRC we want to be a people who are on a Journey with Jesus, who Invite Others to join in that journey, and be Together Transformed into the image and character of Christ. We held our first service on March 1, 2020 in our new location in Royal Vista. Starting in June 2020, we have been able to be open for in-person services for much of the time of the Covid restrictions by holding two services and are very thankful for the location that God provided for us. While it has obviously been a very challenging year in so many ways, we are thrilled to report that we have seen three professions of faith during the last year and are looking forward to holding a river baptism this coming summer! We also offered two evenings of Alpha online this past spring and had 23 participate between the two evenings. We are delighted to report significant progress in a number of participants’ journeys with Jesus. We continue to pray for fruit from our mission. Again, we supported Ken Taylor’s School’s Christmas hamper program and continue to enjoy a great relationship with the school. We look forward to using our new location to serve our surrounding communities, reach people for Christ and see them transformed into his image. We are so grateful for Foothills! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements – we continue to covet them.

BRIAN REED Since 1993 Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten has been making a positive Christian impact in NW Calgary. The school offers Preschool, Kindergarten and Early Intervention Services to children aged three to six. With full enrolment, our school services 166 families annually (142 Preschool and 24 Kindergarten). The 2020/2021 school year has been anything but typical. With COVID-19 mitigation protocols in place, the school was able to reopen to in-person learning in September of 2020. Enrolment was affected by concerns regarding the transmission of the virus. This year, the school served 86 Preschool students and 22 Kindergarten children. To date, there has not been any in-school transmission of the virus, but some classes have at times had to temporarily move online due to Government guidelines or children testing positive from outside sources. The school continues to offer top notch education while providing support, stability and normalcy for children and families during the pandemic. Our students hear the message of Christ through the teaching of social thinking, Bible stories and prayer. We encourage our students to show the love of Christ to their fellow students (sharing, praising), their parents (helping, obeying) and their community (giving, sharing, service – Operation Christmas Child, Veteran’s Food Bank, etc.). Teachers at Foothills Alliance School are university-educated and maintain a high standard of professional development. This year, educators focused learning on needs-based education and challenged each other to expand their understanding of what education looks like in the Early Childhood classroom. Foothills Alliance School is a loving Christ-centered community that encourages lifelong learning and growth for staff, students and families.

MINUTESANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM)

NOVEMBER 1, 2020

QUORUM - Foothills Alliance bylaws states quorum is members present; a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by electronic means approved in advance by the Board.

In-person attendance 56; approx. 97 watched on livestream. Members voting in-person 46; members voting by online proxy 76.

OPENING PRAYER Gord Miller, Chair of the Board of Elders, welcomed those in attendance, both in the room and on livestream, and opened the meeting in prayer. Gord explained the effort and details of this AGM, and thanked Tereasa Basaraba, Dayla Lahring and Lawrence Stalder for their time and effort in preparation. This meeting is very different from previous meetings due to the pandemic, including options to vote by proxy and “attend” via livestream. Gord explained how the online proxy vote was conducted; the proxy votes will be combined with the in-person votes today to determine decisions and election results.

CALL TO ORDER – Gord read from Rev. 4: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. Worthy are you to receive glory and honour and power.” This is the language of heaven, the voice of his created, and we walk into the presence of the Lord God Almighty. Pastor Ian prayed to ask God’s blessing and direction on our meeting. Gord then called the meeting to order.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA Moved by Brent Epp, seconded by Charlene Anderson, to adopt the agenda as circulated in the 2019/2020 Annual Report. Carried.

APPROVAL OF 2019 ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES DATED JUNE 2, 2019Moved by George Coutts, seconded by Doreen Randshuizen, to approve the Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Minutes (June 2, 2019) as circulated in the 2019/2020 Annual Report. Carried.

LEAD PASTOR’S REPORTPastor Ian Trigg expressed gratitude for and pride in staff and leaders who adjusted ministry operations quickly during the pandemic. First focus was how to navigate; we will discuss how to move forward.

In Mark 9, a boy with a demon was brought by his father to Jesus in Galilee and Jesus healed him. “All things are possible” for those who believe, and the father prayed in desperation. God is calling us to a deeper level of prayer; we need to listen to Jesus more carefully.

Pastor Ian expressed gratitude to the Board of Elders, both Board Chairs this year—Terry Hawley and Gord Miller, and Jim Palmer and Allen Adrian whose terms as Elder have ended. The Western Canadian District (WCD) has also supported us in many ways.

Additional highlights: 2020 devotional series has been a way to connect during COVID-19.

Treasurers have had to make hard decisions during COVID. The re-launch team, headed by Ken Chapman, and Carla Olsen Draper at the pastoral team level, have researched and worked hard to enable us to safely return to services and activities.

What is coming: financial goals in annual report, goal to eliminate debtDiscipleship and disciple-makers, lay engagement; pray first. We can plan, try to be organized, and have creativity, but need to listen to Jesus overall to find out what God wants to do at and through Foothills.

Moved by Tim Gibbons, seconded by Lloyd Anderson, to accept the LeadPastor’s report as included in the 2019/2020 Annual Report and verbally highlighted by Ian Trigg. Carried.

MOTION 1APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL RESULTS—Moved by Lawrence Stalder, seconded by Bill Cormack, that the report on the 2019/20 Foothills Alliance Church financial results be approved as circulated in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Carried.

MOTION 2APPROVAL OF BUDGET—Moved by Lawrence Stalder, seconded by Greg Young, that the 2020/21 Budget for Foothills Alliance Church be approved as circulated in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Carried.

Pastor Ian clarified that a large part of the deficit would be due to decreased rentalincome. He also commented that many Foothills people give directly to many other missions.

Lawrence showed a slide of the current status of the 20/21 budget as of Oct 31/2020.

Lawrence thanked Jim Palmer for his excellent work as Treasurer over the last several years.

BYLAW AMENDMENTSMoved by Lawrence Stalder, seconded by Ken Chapman, to adopt the highlighted changes to the Foothills Alliance Church Bylaws as presented in the 2019/20 Annual Report. Carried.

Article II Government Bylaw 4 The quorum for any meeting of the membership shall consist of members present. For the purpose of determining quorum, a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by eletronic means approved in advance by the Board. New Bylaw 8 At the Board’s discretion any meeting of the membership can include participation by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities that permit participants to vote and communicate adequately with each other during a meeting of members in the manner provided by the policies and procedures of Foothills Alliance Church. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting.

Article V Amendments Bylaw 1 These Bylaws may be amended from time to time by a three-quarters (3/4) majority vote at the annual meeting or a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose.

QUESTIONS/ANSWERS: • What happens to a proxy vote if a motion changes at the meeting? There is a

question on the proxy asking the member to select one of the following:OPTION A: On any amendments or additional issues that arise, my proxy holder may vote on my behalf in any manner as the proxy holder sees fit. OROPTION B: On any amendments or additional issues that arise, my proxy holder shall abstain from voting on my behalf.

Our proxy only had one proxy holder. If the question was contentious then the member should be allowed to select their proxyholder.

The board is only planning on using proxies in exceptional circumstances such as a pandemic. Robert Rules of Order recommends that not-for- profit organizations should not normally use a proxy.

• In contentious issues, two proxy holders would represent each side of theissue. Who decides what is a contentious issue? All AGM motions are reviewedby the board. The board motions are a simple majority; however, if we get to apoint where there is a material split, we typically hold the decision for prayer and

• additional discussion and seeking the Lord’s direction. An example of this wouldhave been the decision to allow women as elders. The board deliberated on thisitem for over a year on their own before bringing this forward to the members.

RESULTS OF ELDER ELECTION—Gord Miller announced that the following wereelected to the Board of Elders for the year 2020/21: Sharon Anderson, Matt Chan, Garrick Fryklind, Terry Hawley, Gord Miller, Seyi Odewale, Steve Plett, Lawrence Stalder, Mandy Trask, and Karen Vine.

Tellers counted both votes in the room and online proxy votes.

MOTION FOR THE DISPOSITION OF BALLOTS—Moved by Allen Adrian, seconded by Dave Anderson, that the ballots used for the election of Elders and members of the Nominating Committee be destroyed. Carried.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION—Peter Dyck reviewed the characteristics of elders and led a prayer of consecration over the newly elected Board.

ADJOURNMENT—Moved by Karen Vine to adjourn the meeting. Carried.

Respectfully submitted, Sharon Anderson, Board Secretary

Resiliency. It appears to be the word of the year. Phase one of the pandemic thrust us all into a world of innovation, collaboration and trepidation! We’ve all faced adversity and trials before – but nothing like COVID. It threw us into unknown waters and we did our very best to survive. I’m incredibly proud of the “resiliency” our leadership community displayed in those days. The Board met weekly. The staff completely shifted in a matter of days from in-person ministry to online programming. I was so proud of us all! Surely, we would stay afloat for these few months of pandemic. All would be back to normal by August? Perhaps September! We could do this! We’re a resilient people!

Then Phase two landed upon us. It severely tested our resolve to stay hopeful and engaged. We grew tired of saying “you’re muted!” We ran out of home improvement projects. Netflix felt more like an addiction than a friend. We became incredibly familiar with “Zoom fatigue” and grew weary of masking our faces (and our feelings). The common call from health officials, political leaders and pastors was to “persevere.” We resonated with feelings of weariness and struggled to feel connected. Our hope for a return to something resembling “normal” was now pushed back to January. We became more aware of not only the limitations of restrictions, but the losses of restrictions. People’s mental health challenges were becoming increasingly obvious. Social isolation was leading to emotional vulnerability. We all felt at least a taste of it.

Then came Phase three, and if COVID wasn’t concerning enough, we were introduced to variants. The pandemic became far more personal and “in here” more than “out there.” We had five staff member families alone who faced COVID. Many of us encountered the virus personally. Some were mildly sick. Others devastatingly so. One much-loved member ended up on a ventilator. Resiliency and perseverance seem like impossible demands. We are tired. We are so done with all the upheavals.How does one write an annual report amidst such realities? We normally celebrate all that God has done in a space like this. Well … we appear to be surviving! Thriving seems like a stretch in defining us right now. We’re working hard to stay connected, but I daily fear some are falling through the proverbial cracks. Last week, we had our first baptism in an entire year. (That grieves me deeply to write – though it was a beautiful moment!) There have been thousands of phone calls, hundreds of walks, a handful of porch prayers prayed and occasional meetings at the church. Our pastoral staff has worked so hard to serve, teach, lead and pray for us all. I’m deeply grateful for all they’ve done. I could spend pages writing about each of them, but let me highlight two who have gone so far above and beyond. Carla Olsen Draper has repeatedly put her hand up to lead and serve throughout this pandemic. She has been our principal voice on managing all things COVID and has led with dedication and wisdom. And Rebecca Schnell has given stellar leadership to our weekend service programming. She has been gracious, kind, creative and authentic through it all, and her team has been amazing. Every pastor has stepped up and served well, we are dearly blessed. I also want to thank our leaders and writers of The 20/20 Project. It has been such a gift to keep us somewhat connected to Jesus and to each other. I anticipate the daily reads greatly. And you as a congregation have exceeded my wildest dreams as the faithful people of God. You have loved. You have given. You have hoped. You have encouraged. You have blessed. You have trusted. You have persevered. I’m sograteful to be a part of the Foothills Family.

What comes next? I’m more than a little weary of trying to predict the future! I know we will continue to innovate and collaborate. I know we will persevere and press on. I know we will lament “family only weddings” and other losses due to social isolation. I know we will do our best to care for each other. I’m hopeful we will gather again sometime in the next month or two. I anticipate a significant fall season of regathering, reconnecting and refocusing our efforts to be the church Jesus gave his life to build. But of everything I know and hope and anticipate, I rest most deeply in the promise of Jesus that “He will build his church and the very gates of hell will not prevail against her.” He will use this pandemic to bring glory to his bride and honour to his mission. Our passion to know God will grow deeper and stronger. He will deepen our understanding of and appreciation for authentic biblical community. We will love each other more intimately and intentionally. We will continue to find ways to reach our neighbours and share the wonder of Jesus with them. And we will continue to serve our world with the hope and grace of Jesus. There are some initiatives coming that I can’t wait to share with you! We will soon relaunch with even greater resolve and resiliency and great days are ahead. I honestly believe this!

Thanks for your faithfulness and for joining us in this transforming journey. The God we serve is able to do abundantly more than all we could ever ask for or imagine. May that truth live in us deeply and sustain us in all the journey. I’m so grateful for you and that you are an integral part of all God wants to do in us and through us.

As always, be safe, be strong, be kind, be well – and be filled with hope in Jesus!So grateful to be your pastor!

COVID-19HOW FOOTHILLS ADAPTED TO THE PANDEMIC

Like many other churches, Foothills has been profoundly impacted by COVID-19. We believe God called us to steward our people well, and to live as People of the Book. This means that in an ever-changing world, we stay grounded in the inspired Scriptures.

As we’ve had to pivot from meeting in-person to online several times, our pastoral and support staff have shown great resliency and adaptability.

Pastors moved their studies, groups and one-on-one meetings online, and our worship team worked diligently to create an engaging online experience. Here are some of the ways we saw God at work in our ministries:

HORIZON CHURCHOver the past year, we’ve shifted much of our focus and our energy towards equipping people to make disciples on a micro-level. We have gender-specific Discipleship Groups of three to five people that meet together each week to read the Bible, pray with one another, and help each other grow into greaterChristlikeness. These groups exist as an extension of our Community Groups (our small group ministry). As we continued to respond to the challenges of the pandemic, we found that focusing on empowering leaders to invest in these Discipleship Groups has made a significant difference in the overall health and engagement of our church.

In the last six months, we were able to baptize three adults, and have seen our church experience growth to the point that we have been able to create two part-time staff positions on our leadership team, with the vision to develop church planters for new multiplicative works in the coming years. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support as we continue to show and share the kindness of Jesus, helping others to find and follow him!

GLACIER RIDGE CHURCHGlacier Ridge Church (GRC) launched fall 2018 with its first public service on September 16. At GRC we want to be a people who are on a Journey withJesus, who Invite Others to join in that journey, and be Together Transformed into the image and character of Christ. We held our first service on March 1, 2020 in our new location in Royal Vista. Starting in June 2020, we have been able to be open for in-person services for much of the time of the Covid restrictions by holding two services and are very thankful for the location that God provided for us. While it has obviously been a very challenging year in so many ways, we are thrilled to report that we have seen three professions of faith during the last year and are looking forward to holding a river baptism this coming summer! We alsooffered two evenings of Alpha online this past spring and had 23 participate between the two evenings. We are delighted to report significant progress in a number of participants’ journeys with Jesus. We continue to pray for fruitfrom our mission.

Again, we supported Ken Taylor’s School’s Christmas hamper program and continue to enjoy a great relationship with the school. We look forward to using our new location to serve our surrounding communities, reach people for Christ and see them transformed into his image. We are so grateful for Foothills! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements – we continue to covet them.

On behalf of GRC,Pastor Cam

Since 1993 Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten has been making a positive Christian impact in NW Calgary. The school offers Preschool, Kindergarten and Early Intervention Services to children aged three to six. With full enrolment, our school services 166 families annually (142 Preschool and 24 Kindergarten).

The 2020/2021 school year has been anything but typical. With COVID-19 mitigation protocols in place, the school was able to reopen to in-person learning in September of 2020. Enrolment was affected by concerns regarding the transmission of the virus. This year, the school served 86 Preschool students and 22 Kindergarten children. To date, there has not been any in-school transmission of the virus, but some classes have at times had to temporarily move online due to Government guidelines or children testing positive from outside sources.

The school continues to offer top notch education while providing support, stability and normalcy for children and families during the pandemic. Our students hear the message of Christ through the teaching of social thinking, Bible stories and prayer. We encourage our students to show the love of Christ to their fellow students (sharing, praising), their parents (helping, obeying) and their community (giving, sharing, service – Operation Christmas Child, Veteran’s Food Bank, etc.).

Teachers at Foothills Alliance School are university-educated and maintain a high standard of professional development. This year, educators focused learning on needs-based education and challenged each other to expand their understanding of what education looks like in the Early Childhood classroom.

Foothills Alliance School is a loving Christ-centered community that encourages lifelong learning and growth for staff, students and families.
