The Alliance family will be meeting for our Alliance Council in Columbus, Ohio, May 30–June 4, to celebrate what God is doing in and through us and to seek His heart as we move forward.
Realizing that many will be unable to attend for the entire week, we are inviting you to Alliance Family Day on Saturday, June 3. Several special events have been planned for us to come together and celebrate who we are as a Christ-centered, Acts 1:8 family. Whether you come with your family or friends from church, you won’t regret making a day of it! So fill up a car or a whole bus and join us in Columbus!
In anticipation of Alliance Family Day, be sure to visit the Alliance Council 2017 Web page for event live stream and additional media from Columbus.
