Alliance is multiplying.

At Alliance Bible Church we are endeavoring to launch another gospel-preaching, Jesus-obsessed, mission-focused church in Northern Ozaukee county called Lakeside Alliance Church. It will be a strategic partner of Alliance Bible Church in the region. Beginning in Port Washington, Lakeside Alliance Church will be gathering momentum from those who call Alliance Bible Church their home church and from others in the Northern Ozaukee area. These individuals and families will partner together to help those in the local communities discover Christ. Making this bold move as a church is the next step in fulfilling the vision of seeing revival take place in Southeast Wisconsin.

Who?

Who will lead?

Jon Vallier will be the new Lead Pastor of Lakeside Alliance Church. Currently, we are aiming for a second full time pastor, 3-5 elders, and 25 additional key leaders, along with many more volunteers to serve and assist with the launch of the new church.

How will this effort be paid for?

We are raising the funding through Alliance Bible Church, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and others, while maintaining the goal of long-term financial freedom and sustainability for the new church.

Where will the new church meet?

We are currently exploring potential options for gathering on Sundays and throughout the week in the Saukville and Port Washington area. Please pray for God’s gracious provision in this search.

When?

When is the launch taking place?

We are planning to launch Lakeside Alliance Church in the fall of 2023.

Why?

Why are we multiplying?

We believe that the church was made to expand and to pursue multiplication. Making a bold move at this time is underpinned by three key reasons:

God’s Calling
God’s Provision
God-Sized Need

We believe that our first ministry work needs to be praying for the people in Northern Ozaukee County. Pray that God would soften the hearts of people in the area, and that He would give this new effort favor in the eyes of the local communities.

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.
