News & Events

On-going Class - "Life in the Spirit" Join us in this Bible-centered class designed to help you understand what the Holy Spirit is doing in the world today and how the Spirit of God actively shapes your daily life. In this class, led by Pastor Ron, you will discover how to live a Spirit-filled life and the transformative journey the Holy Spirit can lead you towards. This 12-week class is open to everyone. Each class is a stand-alone class, so come when you can. Wednesdays @ 6 PM -  Fellowship Hall

Community Prayer    Following the Living in the Spirit class for community prayer, we gather each week for a focused, refreshing time of intentional prayer.  It’s a simple, heartfelt space to seek God together and intercede for the needs around us. Everyone is encouraged to come!
 
Fall Ladies Retreat Ladies! You are invited... to be still. To rest. To listen. You are invited to take some time away from the chaos of life to breathe. To renew your relationship with Jesus and be surrounded by laughter & love. Join us for our annual ladies retreat. Meet new friends and encounter Jesus in a powerful way. Space is limted. Registration & more information online. Talk to Kayla Marks with questions. October 2 - 4 | Mountain Top Retreat 
 
Men's Bible Study   Attention Men of Belgrade Alliance...Fred Heinrichs is gearing up to lead an all men's bible study. If this is something you're interested in, reach out to Fred or the office for more information. The study is call The Quest for Authentic Manhood and it brought to us by Robert Lewis of Men's Fraternity.  This will be a 24-week in depth study on everything God intended when He created Adam.  You will gain a new sense of masculine identity by obtaining a personal manhood vision, and gain answers to questions men often ponder such as: How does on become a man?, Is there a moment when it happens?, and How should masculinity be expressed today?. This will be an opportunity to meet other men who are asking similar questions, and it is a time search your heart with the goal finding a clearer, richer, and nobler masculinity for yourself. The study will take place at Belgrade Alliance Church at 6 PM every Tuesday starting on September 15th.
