Alsfeldt United Church

In 2006, Alsfeldt will celebrate 155 years of faithfully serving God. Always part of a multi-point charge when the Evangelical United Brethren Church joined The United Church of Canada, we became a two point pastoral charge with Knox United Clifford. When you join us for worship you will be welcomed by greeters and our minister. Pew packs keep younger children busy as worship begins. Most Sundays the children attend Sunday School, after spending time sharing good news and talking with our minister. On communion Sundays the children remain with us through worship. Everyone old and young, members and guests are welcome to share in communion. Journey with us as we seek to know God more fully.
