Nathan's Shoe Box Ministry
This ministry seeks to provide children in our community with needed shoes. Financial donations to this ministry are always appreciated. Gifts should be clearly marked, “Nathan’s Shoebox.”
Prayer Meetings
Sunday Mornings at 9:00
Tuesdays 6:00 - 8:00pm
​
Our first work as a congregation is that of prayer. As Jesus teaches, we need to ask, seek, and knock--and as we do, the Lord is pleased to answer. While it is certainly right and good to pray privately, Scripture also teaches us the great value of praying together. In fact, some of God's greatest answers come as His people gather and call out to Him.

CAMA and Missions
CAMA is an excellent means of helping those who are struggling to recover from natural disasters, which have impacted Alliance church families. Please visit the CAMA web site to learn more: camaservices.org. You are welcome to donate directly through PAAC. Checks should be made payable to PAAC and be marked "CAMA Disaster Relief."
