Mission 1:27 is the orphan care ministry at First Alliance Church. We strive to support adoptive and foster care families, educate the church body in how we can come alongside of these families, and promote and become involved in care for orphans both locally and throughout the world. |
James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (NIV) |
Mission 1:27 Support Group - Every 2nd Saturday
Our support group meets every 2nd Saturday from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the CRASH Student Services building on our church campus. After taking the summer off, this group will relaunch on October 12th! Child care is provided.
We have several adoptive and foster care families who are church members and regularly attend this group. We invite you to come, and are open to any families - you do not need to attend First Alliance to come! If you have any questions, please fill out a contact form at the bottom of this page. |
Coffee Shop Ministry - Mission Grounds Cafe
Some of the families who form the core of our Missions 1:27 group also run the coffee shop at First Alliance, "mission grounds." This coffee shop is open before Saturday night services from 5:30 - 6:00 pm, and Sunday mornings during our 9:20 and 11:00 services. All profits go to either a designated mission or ministry, which changes monthly. If you are interested in helping out at mission grounds cafe or want to know more about it, please fill out a contact form at the bottom of this page! |

There are so many ways you can get involved in orphan care here at First Alliance! Some of the special events we have been involved with in the past include: being a host site twice for the Empowered to Connect Simulcast Conference, sponsoring His Little Feet choir, contributing toward the content of Orphan Sunday, helping with a VBS missions project that supported Kyampisi Childcare Ministries in Uganda, organizing an adoption fund at FAC that helps with adoption costs, and more! We hope that you will join us as we strive to live out James 1:27.
