About Adele Vallier – Alliance Bible Church – captivating generations with the satisfying gospel of Jesus Christ

As the daughter of a pastor, the gospel was not an unfamiliar concept to me. However, I was given a fresh appreciation of God’s love and grace after spending my high school years living for myself and the approval of others. I realized that life lived without Jesus is dark and empty, and that it is only with Jesus that we can possess a full and abundant life. Once I turned back to Him, I experienced a peace and joy that I hadn’t realized I was missing. Thanks be to God for His mercy and forgiveness, and that the prodigal son can return to the open arms of his (her) Heavenly Father! Nothing in this world can compare with the joy and peace that comes from knowing Christ, and I am passionate about seeing people meet Jesus and allowing their understanding of Him and His love to shape their lives.

It is a privilege to partner with the staff at Alliance to “captivate generations with the satisfying gospel of Jesus Christ”. I particularly enjoy Children’s Ministry because kids are often open and receptive to God’s Word in a way that adults aren’t. I appreciate their unique perspective and entertaining comments and questions. Kids are lots of fun and I’m excited about making church one of their favorite places to be!

I studied Biblical Studies at Moody Bible Institute where I met the love of my life, Jon Vallier. We have four incredible sons and one average golden retriever. We live in Port Washington where I enjoy sunrises, audiobooks, homeschooling, playing outside, playing the piano, and making and eating good food.

Membership

Membership is a spiritual, public commitment to worship, grow and serve at our particular Church. We hope that you will get acquainted with our church and, most importantly, Jesus Christ.

Although you are welcome to attend without obligation, we encourage you to learn about us and the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA). At Alliance Bible Church, we encourage a firm commitment to the local church. Christ was so committed to the church that He gave His life for it, and then directed His apostles to establish local assemblies of believers everywhere.

The first step in becoming a member is attendance at our Membership Matters Class. This is held several times per year, and is an overview of the basic truths of Christianity and the unique ministries of our church.

The second step is to indicate your desire for membership by filling out and submitting an application form for prospective membership.

The third step is to meet with our leadership (Elders) privately to give a personal testimony of faith in Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

The fourth step in becoming a member occurs at a worship service when we publicly extend the right hand of fellowship to those who have met the preceding requirements.

Membership is viewed as a covenant of commitment to God and His people in this local body of believers.

We would be happy to further explain the organization of Alliance Bible Church and expectations for membership. For more information, please see a Pastor or an Elder.

Water Baptism

Water baptism is as an outward expression of inward faith. Water baptism expresses our identity in Christ. However, like a logo to a ball team, it does not determine that identity.

We schedule water baptisms a few times a year. Spiritual and practical preparation is available through the Baptism Orientation Class which is conducted a week or two prior to the baptismal service. The class is for those desiring to know more about the Scripture’s teaching on baptism and/or for those desiring to be baptized. Once a baptism is scheduled, the congregation is notified via the ABC eNews (a church wide email), and the church bulletin.

For more information on water baptism, see the Christian and Missionary Alliance information link.
