Life is a journey filled with questions, challenges, joys, and moments that shape who we become. We believe every step matters, and here at Foothills, we're convinced that Jesus is at the center of the life we were created to live. He offers hope, truth, purpose, and a relationship that transforms everything.
As a church, we exist to help people take meaningful steps toward Jesus. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning after being away, or have been following Jesus for many years, we want to walk alongside you as you grow in Him.
Our vision is simple:
Know Jesus Deeply
We want to help people encounter Jesus through Scripture, prayer, worship, and community, growing in a personal and life-changing relationship with Him.
Follow Jesus Fully
Following Jesus is more than believing certain truths—it's learning to live like Him every day. Together, we seek to become people who reflect His character, obey His teachings, and surrender every area of life to His leadership.
Share Jesus Boldly
The good news of Jesus is too good to keep to ourselves. We want to be people who live and speak with courage, sharing His love, hope, and truth with our neighbours, our city, and the world.
Wherever you find yourself on your journey, you are welcome here. We would be honoured to support, encourage, and walk alongside you as you discover more of who Jesus is and the life He invites you into. You don't have to navigate life alone—let's follow Him together.

Our Story
Foothills began as a church plant out of First Alliance in 1965. A group of about 20 families who lived in the NW part of Calgary came together and built their first sanctuary in Brentwood. Several years ago, we completed a major expansion to our present facility, which virtually doubled our square footage and has created numerous opportunities for new ministries.
These are exciting days for the Foothills Alliance Church family as we celebrated our 60th Anniversary in October 2025. Anniversaries are natural times to pause—to look back with gratitude, to take stock of where we are today and to prayerfully discern where God is leading us into the future. As someone once said, it is important to think about our future because that is where we will spend the rest of our lives. Yet while the future is still being written, it is equally important to tell the story of our past—our story—because it reminds us of God’s faithfulness across generations.

Our Denomination
Founded in the 1880s, The Alliance Canada is committed to Jesus and his mission. We are a group of approximately 440 local churches in Canada, and we send people to live on mission locally and globally.
The Alliance Canada grew out of the vision of Rev. Albert Benjamin Simpson, who was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in 1865 and became the pastor in one of Canada’s most prestigious pulpits. During the next number of years, the Holy Spirit revolutionized his life, making him more passionate for neglected people and people living in poverty at home and around the world.
This passion to draw people into the fullness of life in Christ, both locally and globally, is what unites the churches of The Alliance Canada.
