Kamloops Alliance Church exists to be Rivers of Life, flowing to our city and beyond.

We accomplish this by being passionate followers of Jesus who want to help others be the same. We feel called to worship fully, follow passionately and serve with intensity and we want to invite you to experience this community.

Through the summer, KAC has two weekend worship services to fit your schedule, Saturday at 6:30pm, or Sunday at 10am. We also livestream our 10am service for you to keep up to date when you are unable to attend.

When you arrive expect to be part of a diverse, multi-generational group, where we encourage people to feel comfortable to come as they are. You will likely hear a combination of contemporary Christian music and traditional music and as part of our Worship Service, you will hear from our Pastor a message that is relevant, and biblically based. During all three worship services we have a fully functioning Children’s Ministry spanning Birth to age 12. Most of all you can expect to feel welcomed, encouraged, and loved when you attend Kamloops Alliance.

If you have any questions on the weekend, our Guest Services people in the lobby will be happy to help, and if you have any other questions feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you at one of the weekend services soon.
