Update on Alliance North, Fargo, ND
Alliance North in Fargo closed at the end of May. Many people put their hearts, souls, prayers and finances behind this church planting project. One of the core values of the Christian and Missionary Alliance is that we take faith-filled risks which sometimes don’t turn out how we would like. Our sincere hope is to plant again in Fargo when God provides another planter and team. Jorde Hutton, who has been leading the church plant these last couple of years, is taking on a role of associate pastor at Community Alliance Church in Detroit Lakes and we are excited to see him continue to grow and thrive in ministry. If you have any questions about Alliance North feel free to contact Kyle Magstadt at the District Office.
