Storyline 75 Anniversary Edition

Three Leaders .... all for JESUS
All For Jesus ... it echoes off the
chambers of our heart and just feels
right. This is what we are longing for ...
living beyond ourselves ... all for Jesus.
Over the years this church has displayed
this desire, and now is our opportunity to
keep that theme going ... all for Jesus.
As I reflect on this celebration, I can’t help but think about the
shoulders upon which we stand. The sacrifices made motivate me
to lean in a bit harder and commit to live with more intent. So,
how does all for Jesus play out in my life, in our lives?
We live all for Jesus in the realization that He is worthy. Jesus
gave all for us so that we might live all for Him. We call that worship
– or a life that honours God. This propels us to connect ...
connect with Jesus with our heart’s devotion and connect with
others who have done the same. This connection makes us the
Church. It’s not the place we gather but the people with whom
we connect because of Jesus ... all for Jesus. In that connection
we will grow – grow to become more like Jesus. Jesus wants me
to think like He thinks, see like He sees, speak like He speaks, hear
His voice, have the mind of Christ. Out of the growth we willingly
serve Jesus by serving others, thereby leading to a life that
cannot help but share the love of Jesus locally and globally …
making Jesus famous ... all for Jesus.
First Alliance Church has been a great church and will be a great
church because we are all for Jesus. Let’s celebrate ... all for Jesus!
Scott Weatherford (Lead Pastor, 2009-present)
Life is a series of crossroad
moments. My story, your story,
our story is filled with choice points
that, at times, seem small and insignificant.
At other times our crossroad
moments can best be described as
Maalox moments – where the stakes
are high, the future is clouded in the
mist, and we feel the risk in the pit of our stomachs. This reality
hit the leadership of FAC in a new way in the early 2000’s
as we wrestled with a simple question: What is the next vital
step in being a people and a place that is “all for Jesus” and His
mission in the world? At our crossroad moment in 2002 we
realized that we could choose a path of playing it safe and settling
down OR travel a path of God-honoring adventure. This
church family chose adventure over safety and a strong stance
of sacrifice over settling down.
What intrigued us in 2002 was how the history book of FAC
revealed an amazing pattern of crossroad moments – 1938,
1955, 1969, 1980, 1987. These years involved major decision
points that stretched this church family to faithfully lean into
the future rather than resting on her laurels. So, in 2002 FAC
boldly embraced a further crossroad moment – to purchase
land, to design a great place for worship and service, to leave
a great home we had enjoyed for 36 years, and to shape a
dynamic ministry that would be “all for Jesus” in the decades to
come. Glory be to God!
Dr. Terry Young (Lead Pastor, 1998-2009)
I
have often said that Glenmore
Christian Academy was an idea
whose time had come. When I came on
the scene at FAC, I saw an opportunity for
our children to learn in an environment
where biblical teaching would not be
just one subject, but would permeate the
whole curriculum in each classroom.
From the beginning, our mandate was to partner with parents in
the education of their children, working with them to shape the
lives of those committed to our trust. This was a team effort. GCA
also provided a well rounded program outside the classroom
ranging from performing and visual arts to a strong physical
education program. Jesus Christ has always been the supreme
example of our educational principles and practice – and the
source for all our needs. A remarkable example of His provision
for us was when we lost our lease at our previous location and
were forced to move. After 18 months of faith, prayer, hard work
and sacrifice we opened the school at our present location – a
beautiful and functional campus.
Some have called me the founder of GCA. The facts are that I provided
a spark of inspiration at our very small beginning, but many
have provided the perspiration to make our school a reality. Truly,
we know that it has been His work and to Him belongs
ALL the glory. AMEN!!

THE CROSS
December 14-16,
1984 was the second
year the choir presented
Handel’s Messiah under
the direction of Elmer
Riegel. Elmer appointed
a committee of three to
undertake stage decoration.
Those involved were
Neil Bryan, Greg Hibbert,
and myself, Helena McMillan.
Asked what he envisioned as part of our design, he said, “I
would really like to see a cross.”
I looked up at the cathedral ceiling which fanned out above us
and wondered if we could put a cross in lights up there, and
then immediately deleted that thought.
Then Neil Bryan – who had a beautiful oratorical voice –
mentioned that he and his wife Katie were preparing to move
home, ‘down under.’ He said that he had a conference room
table that he believed was big enough to use to make a cross.
the cross up. They voiced the feelings of their group members,
saying the cross brought comfort, blessing, and peace. The
only thing that could be done was to have them return to
their groups and have all who wished the cross to remain to
sign a letter asking the Elders’ board to leave it up.
The decision was made to leave the cross up, where it remained
until the final service at 1201 Glenmore. The final
element of that service was carrying that cross out of the
sanctuary; the first services here in our current building began
with carrying that same cross to the front of the sanctuary. It
remains to this day.
I have often thought over the years, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful
if more of us could see a cross in the centre of our conference
room table?”
Pastor Grout was known to say that the most important thing
in our lives is what we are looking at. I choose to look at an
empty cross with the promise of light, life, hope and comfort
shining round about. | Written by Helena McMillan

We received the okay from several members of the Board of
Elders to remove the Christian and Missionary Alliance logo
from the centre front of the church, and replace it with a cross
which had florescent lights attached to the back – but only for
the month of December, since it was only a part of the stage
design.
The lights at the cross gave a soft glow that touched many
hearts. Together with the beautiful music we were all richly
blessed.
Just before the end of December two ladies from different
‘PSALM’ groups approached me asking how we could keep

Rev. P. Magnus (1939-1943)
1939 World War II Begins
Gail (Jespersen) Hunter began attending First Alliance
Church in the womb. Her first recollection of church
was watching her parents (pictured with Gail as a child, bottom left)
singing in the church choir and then falling asleep on her mother’s
lap. Her decision to follow Jesus came just a few years later, at
8 years old during a Pioneer Girls regular meeting.
“I remember hearing the Gospel presented and my heart
started pounding and I knew it was what I wanted to do.”
Attending Camp Chamisall from her eighth summer on – first
at Gull Lake and then at the present site in the Waiparous Valley
– became a favourite time of year and a place where her faith
flourished. Gail was baptized at 16 and remembers attending
the ground-breaking ceremony at the Glenmore Trail
location as FAC grew.
Music was always a part of the Jespersen family. Gail’s
first instrument was her violin, but she found her voice
in her late teens and sang her first solo at the Alliance
Youth Fellowship Christmas banquet. This led to music
ministry through a traveling singing group and
over 25 years as a member of the First Alliance
choir. Her gift of leadership was
cultivated and encouraged as
she became the first female
president of AYF and later –
after marriage to Jim Hunter
(thirty-seven years ago) and
four children – she became
the president of Mothers’
Fellowship as well.
But by far the
most vivid impression
of the
Jespersen home
while Gail was
growing up was
the intentional practice of hospitality.
“My parents would hunt down people they didn’t know in the
church foyer after Sunday service and invite them home for Sunday
roast beef luncheon.” She smiles. “There were always people I
didn’t know at our dinner table and it seemed normal!” She recalls
her mother, Norma, was an ‘amazing cook’ and her father, Stan,
could draw anyone out of their shell with his wonderful stories
and witty repartee. “Our home was always filled with people and
laughter.”
It was natural that food and hospitality became the norm in the
Hunter household as well – and more than just a way of life, it was
a way to support a growing family. From Gail’s Goodies, selling
Swedish Tea Rings at Christmas, to a full-fledged catering company
where the entire Hunter clan would cook and wash dishes
and serve hundreds, Gail turned the fine art of hospitality into a
thriving business.
But Gail began to realize that it was ‘more than just the food’.
A desire began to grow in her to love people through meals
and hospitality. In the late 90s, at a course designed to tap into
God-given gifts and desires, the facilitator asked, “If you could
do anything for God and know you couldn’t fail, what
would it be?” Gail’s immediate internal answer was ‘to feed
people in the church.’ In her discussion group, she laid out the
foundation for food ministry in the church, and the people around
her table were dumbfounded; people who had shared lofty ideas
of overseas work and large, complicated ministries. The idea was
beautiful in its simplicity.
“There is no social class or division around the meal table. Everyone
is equal,” she says. “The simple sharing of a meal can open the
way for deeper spiritual discussion.”
Hired by First Alliance Church in January of 2002 to feed the
people of the church as she saw fit, Gail began to write the book
on food ministry in the church.
“Harvest Ministries has two sides of the window. It isn’t just that

1941 We are officially incorporated as “The Alliance
Tabernacle” in Calgary with 18 members present.
1943 Now a congregation of 50 people,
the church moves to 13 th Avenue
we provide meals for other church ministries to facilitate their
work, but there’s the inside of the kitchen, too, and what happens
there.”
People work side by side in a place familiar to all; everyone has
a kitchen. Community is created in the middle of the work. The
Harvest kitchen is a teaching kitchen; a place where newcomers
feel comfortable to enter into service for the first time and
learn what it is to be part of a church family. Some will stay
there long-term as volunteers and others will move on to other
ministry work after a time.
Through more than two thirds of FAC’s history, Gail and her
family have attended this church, through years of blessing
and of trial ... and the plan is to stay fast to that tradition. “First
Alliance Church is our church. We believe in the God of our
church. We have always felt nurtured and challenged here. This
is our home and family.” | Written by Terry Schmidt
What legacy does Gail want Harvest Ministries to have?
“One of my ongoing passions is for other churches to catch
the vision and a glimpse of what food service ministry can
mean to their entire church. It brings in so many folks, as volunteers
and guests, and also frees up staff and others who are
called to minister in their gifted areas.”
The Hunter tradition in food and hospitality continues; Gail’s
son, Sterling, has been part of the Harvest staff for the past
couple of years.
“I am pretty thrilled that God moved in my son’s heart to join
me in God’s work here at FAC.”

1966: Foothills Alliance Church is planted
Dear First Alliance Church,
For the better part of your 75 year history, you have
served the purposes of God and the people of Calgary by
being a church driven by vision, passion and an abiding
dependence upon Jesus. The level of influence you have
consistently held in our city is staggering ... First is directly
responsible for the emergence of the faith community I
serve in Northwest Calgary. Foothills was birthed out of
First’s strong passion for the city during the 1960’s and we
are proud and grateful to be your oldest child!
We are so grateful for your presence and influence that
continues to challenge us all to be better for the glory of
Christ and for the Kingdom of God.
Much grace and blessing to you as you move forward
with and for Jesus!
Pastor Ian Trigg
Lead Pastor, Foothills Alliance Church
“Three years ago I moved here from
Toronto and I was looking for a new

me here. It [is] very home-based
and welcoming, so we decided to

To the Community of First Alliance:
From the other side of the Bow River, the community of Southview
Alliance Church extends our joy and thankfulness to our
mother church on her 75 th anniversary. It was 34 years ago that
First Alliance planted Southview. And really, Southview is just
one of the many expressions of First’s vision and commitment to
see as many as possible come to experience the incredible gift of
new life that is found in Jesus Christ.
So on this anniversary we want to say “Thank you!” . . . and
“Praise God!” . . . and “Keep on reaching out!” Our prayer for
you is an echo of the Apostle Paul’s prayer: “We thank our God
every time we remember you. In all our prayers for all of you, we
always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel
from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who
began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until
the day of Christ Jesus.” Happy 75 th ! (And we’re all just getting
started, aren’t we?)
In Christ, on behalf of Southview,
Clyde Glass
Lead Pastor, Southview Church

“When I moved to Calgary, I was
looking for a church with lots of
different services and activities
because I worked different shifts
and couldn’t always go to church at

connections with friends is definitely
what kept me at FAC. I met my husband

To First Alliance Church:
I extend my sincere congratulations on celebrating your 75 th anniversary ...
I have been deeply impressed by the remarkable people of First Alliance
Church. On every one of my visits I receive an extraordinarily warm
welcome, encountering only sincerity, kindness, and joy.
We began dreaming of building our
current current campus in 2002, when
average weekend attendance was 1,952.
You have continued to “defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and
needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked” (Psalm 82:3-4). I
commend the work you have done with resettled refugees and share
with you a concern for the Church abroad as Christians face a growing
wave of worldwide persecution. Once again, congratulations on your
75 th Anniversary. May God bless you in your many years to come!
Sincerely,
Hon. Jason Kenney
PC, MP Calgary Southeast
On my first day attending
FAC, a long forgotten physical warmth filled
my body and it kept me coming back because that
feeling, that peace, that deep, nameless emotion that
I could not grasp or put my finger on was filling up my
once hollow life.
What I couldn’t explain then was that this was an act of
the Spirit revealing the truth. A few weeks later I began
a new walk with God and He has been burning in me
ever since.
In the earlier stages of the new me I held a private
regret in which I wished I had given up my life earlier so
that I wouldn’t have wasted so many years.
It was later said to me that when you become a Christian,
you can look back and recognize events in your life
where God was in active pursuit. When I first heard that
truth, so much of my life became clear. I was able to see
that every experience that God gave me was to prepare
me to serve Him. I was able to let go of my past, and
that was when my world began to truly transform.
Christ came to dwell in me, and I in His words. I crave
and I try with all I have to live according to His way. He
is my shield and the guardrails down a difficult path.
And in return my life has grown to be about honouring
the Father. From household chores such as folding
laundry and washing dishes to how I serve my employer
(who has no idea who I actually work for) … my life is
for God and my life is God-breathed.
Once-“little” sins began to appear as big ones and
my habits began to change. I once worked in an office
where God was hated but Jesus in me is changing that
too. In an environment where lying and cheating is the
norm, I tell only the truth – and when you can only tell
the truth, everything behind it becomes more right.
From the inside out my life has changed, and the change
is ongoing.
I am becoming who I am supposed to be, and I want for
nothing in this world as I yearn for so much beyond it.
“Teach me Your ways so that I may know You” (Exodus
33:13) and open the eyes of my heart. •

Throughout the 75
years of FAC’s history,
the face of Calgary has changed dramatically,
increasing in cultural diversity. God is scattering
the nations to reassemble His people through
immigration in our generation according to His
purpose. The face of FAC has reflected the same
transformation.
A Muslim background woman, in Calgary for 10 years, started
to read the Bible for the first time because she had a recurring
dream which is described in Acts 2. She had never heard the
gospel before.
An Iraqi Christian woman lost her husband and came to Calgary
with two children as refugees. Through Life Group, she met a
Christian man to start a wonderful family.
A Muslim background geologist received an answer for his burdened
questions and became a Christian. God showed him visions
to convince him that Jesus is God, and His blood cleanses our sins.
A Taiwanese woman who accepted Christ as an international student
in Calgary has become a prayer warrior for the immigrants and new
comers.
A communist-background man from Czech Republic moved to
Calgary and married a Christian Venezuelan woman at ESL class.
He has been baptized and his whole family is serving at church.
A multi-ethnic Life Group gathered with 23 adults plus children;
they knelt down on the floor to pray for others in all different
languages, like what the first church did in Acts 2.
These all have happened at FAC.
God has allowed us to see the assembly of these mosaic pieces of
the life which is stirred by His Spirit right before our eyes at First
Alliance Church.
My prayer through this ministry is that every believer, regardless of differences
of cultures and languages, will finish this panoramic mosaic of
the gospel until our Lord comes again. Christ is all and He is in all.

October 2012: “The Exchange”
Sunday night service launches
It was approximately 44
years ago that my parents
first brought us to First Alliance
Church. As a young guy I started
to attend “Boys’ Brigade,” where I
first heard that I needed to have a
personal relationship with Jesus. I
remember our leader, Ray Hall, challenging
us to accept Christ because our future was not guaranteed
– God could call us home at any time.
Starting in grade 9 I attended “Alliance Youth Fellowship” (AYF).
Our leaders, Jim Dyck and Marshall and Marian Kricken,
made an eternal impact on my life. In grade 10,
because of the influence of these individuals, I gave
my heart and my life to Christ. In my college years I loved
attending our college group and was actively involved in leadership
there; it was through this group that I met my wife, Cheryl.
I think it was because of the godly influence Ray Hall, Jim Dyck
and the Krickens had on my life that I wanted to be involved in
youth. It started with my involvement with our college group,
and in the early years of our marriage, Cheryl and I led the high
“I want my life to be all for
Jesus, and I want our youth
living All For Jesus!”
school youth program at FAC. Looking back, one of my biggest
highlights of our early years of involvement was when one of
the youth kids came to me many years later and said, “I am in
youth ministry today because of your influence in my life.”
I took some years off to raise our own little youth group, but
when our kids were in high school I again became involved in
the high school youth program at church. The last number of
years I have also been involved in the ministry of Camp Chamisall.
I love being involved with youth and young adults and
having an impact on their spiritual journey (Cheryl says that’s
partly because I’m a kid at heart). It’s because of godly leaders
in my life when I was young who invested of themselves in
making me the person I am today that I want to reach out and
make a difference in the lives of our youth and young adults.
The reason? It’s ALL FOR JESUS … I want to make an eternal
difference in the lives of our youth today. I want to be His
instrument; I want my life to be ALL FOR JESUS; and I want our
youth living ALL FOR JESUS.
John Siebring has served on the Board of Elders as Treasurer, is
married to Cheryl and has four grown children actively involved in
various ministries.
“In recent weeks I have had opportunity to listen to some of my Grandpa’s (Rev. Lowell Young) sermons
from FAC in the 70s. I was blown away by his passion to preach the gospel so explicitly, so passionately, so beautifully.
Listening to these sermons has revealed more and more of God’s divine grace in my life. I am part of a legacy of men
who have faithfully preached the gospel of Jesus Christ for many decades. This can only be the grace of God. This is not
about a gene pool. This is not about some human aptitude for preaching. This is the grace of God in the Young family.
This is not the Young legacy. This is a legacy of broken men who have been touched by the unfathomable grace of our
God .... “ to read the rest; visit www.pastorbradyoung.com
