March 22/23, 2025
Most of us don’t carry cash anymore. With payment methods like tap and e-transfer, it’s easy to be seduced by the dopamine hit of consumerism. Is it time to take inventory of where our “coins” go? How can we use our money as a conduit of God’s grace?
We’re offering a special Easter devotional series sent to your inbox every Monday until Easter in addition to our regular FAC e-News on Fridays. Tap the button below to subscribe or to manage your email preferences:

Spring Prayer Retreat
Feeling maxed out these days? Give yourself the gift of a soul re-set on Saturday, April 5 at FAC Deerfoot. This free Prayer Retreat will feature interactive prayer stations designed to refresh your relationship with Jesus, offered from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. Drop-ins are welcome; come and go as you’re able.
Good Friday & Easter
It’s more important than ever that we join Jesus in bringing His hope to the world. Easter is April 19/20 – the perfect opportunity to be a beacon of this hope! Let’s be praying about who we can invite to celebrate Easter at FAC; invite cards are available at the Information Desks.
- Good Friday: We’re switching things up this year by offering 1 morning service at the Deerfoot and Southwest Campuses on April 18 at 11:15 am. Learn more:
