Overview: When you see a towel, what does it remind you of? The gym? Laundry that needs folding? It’s a simple towel that teaches us about uncommon grace just days before Jesus’ arrest.
We’re offering a special Easter devotional series sent to your inbox Monday afternoons until Easter in addition to our regular FAC e-News on Fridays. Tap the button below to subscribe or to manage your email preferences:

Good Friday & Easter 
Easter is coming up on April 19/20 – the perfect opportunity to be a beacon of hope in our community! Who can you invite to experience Jesus’ grace this Easter at FAC? Invite cards are available at the Information Desks.
For Good Friday, we’re switching things up this year by offering 1 morning service at the Deerfoot and Southwest Campuses at 11:15 am. Learn more:
Ready to Get Baptized?
Baptism is a one-time, public declaration that shows you’ve said “yes” to Jesus as your personal Saviour. Our next baptism weekend is April 12/13! If you’re ready to take this step, let us know and we’ll help you get ready. Parents: if your child is interested in baptism, that’s great! Please connect with someone from DiscoveryLand or Student Ministries.
FAC As One: Sunday, June 8
We’re bringing all 5 FAC campuses together for Pentecost Sunday at Spruce Meadows (Sunday, June 8)! Invite your friends and join us for an epic worship gathering as one church, enjoy lunch on the grounds, and get your tickets to cheer on Cavalry FC that afternoon for a full day of fun together! (NOTE: Youth and Young Adults have the option to purchase reserved seating game tickets on Realm)
Short-Term Missions
Short-term mission trips through FAC vary in focus and location, but we always go with the posture of learning from and partnering with local churches and organizations as we join Jesus around the world! Our Ghana Team goes April 9-25 to serve with FAC International Workers Janice, Enoch, and Lucy who serve with Chinese International Missions in Ghana. Here’s how we can support them:
- Please pray for the team as they prepare to share the Easter story with approximately 500 children in partnership with the Evangelical Church of Ghana in Northern Ghana.
- To financially support this team, choose the “Short-Term Mission Trips” fund when giving.
- Stop by the FAC Deerfoot TV wall this weekend to write a prayer or encouragement note for the team to take with them this week!

“I am a child of God!”
“Before truly knowing Jesus, my life was marked by routine church attendance with my parents. As I grew older, I struggled to find personal motivation and connection to practice the Word of God. I came to know Jesus and decided to follow Him through a personal journey of seeking deeper meaning and connection,” shared Angela during her baptism last month.
