Life is a journey, full of questions, challenges and incredible wonders. We believe that every step of this journey is significant, and here at Foothills, we’re deeply convinced that God has so much to say about the journey you’re on. He offers wisdom, guidance and purpose that can transform how we see and experience life.
As a church, we exist to help you explore and take steps on this journey in meaningful ways. Our mission is to create clear and accessible pathways for everyone—no matter where you are on your spiritual journey—to grow closer to God and live out His purpose for your life. We are here to help you:
Know God. Whether you're discovering Him for the first time or seeking to deepen your relationship, we want to walk alongside you as you experience His love and truth.
Love Others. We’re passionate about building authentic, life-giving relationships where community and belonging are found.
Reach Neighbours. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us by sharing hope and extending compassion.
Serve the World. From our local neighborhoods to the global stage, we believe God has called us to serve and bring His light to every corner of the earth.
Wherever you find yourself in life, you are welcome here. If we can support or encourage you in any way, it would be our greatest honour and privilege to journey with you. You don’t have to navigate life alone—let’s walk this path together.

Mission Statement
Foothills exists to create pathways for you to Know God, Love Others, Reach Neighbours and Serve the World.
Our Beliefs
Know God • Cross
A representation of our steeple in the middle of the logo shows creating pathways to Knowing God is at the center of everything we do.
Love Others • Two Lines/People in Proximity
We are better together! The two lines of the "F" in the logo represent that we always create pathways to be in a community together.
Reach Neighbours • Hand/Extended Offer of Help
An abstract representation of a helping hand illustrates our value of reaching out beyond ourselves to create pathways for those around us to seek God, community, and support.
Serve The World • Outermost Element
The outermost element indicates our value for opening doors and creating pathways to serve people locally and globally as we radiate God's redemptive work into the community and beyond.
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.
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.
