Historically, a staff salary has been incorporated into the Fund budget used to oversee and administer it. In 2019-2020, the staff salary has been incorporated into the General Fund along with other personnel salaries. The Justice and Compassion Fund is now a flow through fund where all monies go directly to supporting its mandate.

This results in eleven Elders; though we usually have ten, the bylaws allow a maximum of 12, and an additional one was added to enable continuity of roles as Elders move off the Board in the next couple of years.

Foothills has coped with the loss of those going to Glacier Ridge. Moved by Ken Chapman, seconded by Sandy Palmer, to accept the Pastor’s report as included in the Annual Report and verbally highlighted by Ian Trigg. Carried. Those being nominated for the Nominating Committee are Susie Epp and Sandra Stevenson.

Carried b) Vote and Collection of Ballots. Ballots were distributed by the Tellers to the members in attendance and collected. TREASURER’S REPORT: BUDGET Jim Palmer presented highlights from the Treasurer’s Budget Report, some of which was circulated previously to the membership and congregation. Questions: Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten is a separate entity with separate budget. Is there a BOE-approved policy with guidelines for rental groups? Yes. Do we have term limits for staff members to allow for turnover and the hiring of promising young staff? Longer-term employees receive higher wages, a budget consideration. Discussed often in Personnel Committee, but no fixed terms currently. Regular evaluations. “Senior” or l ong-term staff lend maturity and stability; need to balance with younger staff. Additional Special giving opportunities— Slide reflects giving to approved special offerings. Congregation supports additional missions besides what is in budget. Could JCC fund be applied to Glacier Ridge? Has been discussed by BOE, Policies limit what JCC can be used for; CRA has rules for prudent use. BOE can change policy and can take this point under consideration. Surprise at “intense” support of GRC; why are they not “launched” and selfsupporting? WCD Launch process explained in FACs. Suggestion to present a balance sheet; very complicated; best available on a request basis for those who are interested. We are audited annually, with good reports. Suggestion to limit projects instead of trying to fund multiple causes. There is a tension between finance and faith. Fixed-cost funds (General Fund, mortgage) are doing okay. The “flow-through” funds (Missions, Compassion) do not distribute more than is taken in; if we don’t receive the budgeted amount, we don’t spend it. MOTION 1 APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL RESULTS—Moved by Jim Lees, seconded by Ferdinand Randshuizen, that the report on the 2018-19 Foothills Alliance Church financial results be accepted as presented.

Gord Miller closed the meeting in prayer. ADJOURNMENT — Moved by Terry Hawley, seconded by Doug Fowler, to adjourn the meeting. Carried. This has been a year like no other for us all! I’ve joked many times that “I must have slept in that morning at Bible College when they taught us how to lead the church in a season of pandemic!” I also missed the addendum on “how to write an annual report message in a season of pandemic!” Our world changed forever when we decided, during the second week of March, that all our public ministries would be temporarily suspended. We had no idea how long this would last. Our best guess was that there would be no public gatherings until at least midway through the summer but here we are in October, slowly beginning to open up again. There’s so much I could say about this season but let me shorten it to a profound sense of gratitude. First to the One who said, “I will build my church and the very gates of hell will not prevail against it.” If I didn’t believe in a good and kind and sovereign God, I’d easily succumb to the conspiracy theorist’s judgment that this whole COVID thing is a giant social experiment to inflict chaos on us all! But I do believe in a good and kind God and believe he still has all things in control. He has been so faithful and so gracious and so present and I am so thankful. I’m also beyond grateful for our leadership team at Foothills, both staff and Elders. Our team stepped up to the challenge of providing online ministry with great passion, creativity and enthusiasm. So many have worked so hard that it would take pages to mention them all but please know that we have been profoundly blessed with amazing leadership from our Elders and Staff that truly matches the biblical truth: “For such a time as this!” To find ways to say thank you to the Foothills family is no small challenge. Financially, last April our Board allowed us to reach into our reserve fund to keep our minstries moving forward. Remarkably, by the gracious hand of God, and your generous giving, we not only didn’t need to access any of our reserves, but actually added to that reserve fund. God’s faithfulness and your extravagant generosity continue to amaze me! But it’s not just our finances that brings me gratitude. It has been the many expressions of prayer, kindness, support and hope that has truly added wind to my sails these past seven months. I’m thrilled with the manner in which our children’s ministry team, under Heather Malkinson’s leadership, found a way to run 7 camps for kids this summer. I’m grateful for how Patti Love and her team have carried on our vibrant Intercultural Ministry online. Our youth adult ministry team leaders have truly stepped up to find ways to care for the youth and adults of our church. I’m so thankful for Jerry and the volunteers who found a way for us to complete last Spring’s Alpha and get the Fall session launched. I say it often but I so love being your pastor and feel so blessed by God to be a part of such a caring, trusting, encouraging church family. So while I think we’ve mostly survived many of the potential perils of the pandemic, the question of “what’s next?” is clearly before us. As you know, we are early into our relaunching of ministries and weekend services. We are meeting live for our Sunday morning services with the best protocols and practices we know to provide the safest experience for our family. In addition, we continue to provide the best weekend online church experience. Rebecca Schnell, our Worship Arts Director, and her team have given so much and worked so hard – we are all greatly indebted to them. The majority of our ministries are happening this Fall, most in-person and some online. I’m so grateful for the creativity and passion of our Pastors and lay leaders who are making this happen. We still don’t how long we will live in a world caught in a pandemic. The implications of this reality will continue to impact us deeply. Yet our passion to find pathways to enable people to know God and love others and reach neighbours and serve the world are just as important to us as ever. We will not shy away from finding creative ways to help people grow in their experience with God and in their discovery of authentic biblical community. The call to serve others in our church and in our community has never been clearer and more necessary than it is right now. Here are a few other priorities before us right now: To increase our focus on volunteer engagement and training To develop a plan to eliminate our mortgage (currently sitting at $2.1 million) To foster new and manageable strategies to grow us as disciples of Jesus To support our parents in influencing their children to follow Jesus To continue to develop strategies in reaching and serving our community – especially in our Justice and Compassion Ministry and our Intercultural Ministries For each ministry to develop a clear discipleship strategy To see the Alpha ministry continue to expand in both numbers and impact To address impending replacement of the HVAC system for our roof top units in the original building We don’t want to be presumptuous about what the future holds but nor do we want to live in a holding pattern as we see how ministry can happen in a pandemic world. God is still sovereign and still committed to building his church. We prayerfully anticipate all He longs to do both in us and through us as we extend the heart and will of Jesus to those in our community. Thanks for your prayers and your faithfulness. Greater is he who is in us that he who is in the world. He is building his church and it is so exciting to see that happen. Thank you for your faithfulness and your prayers. It is such a privilege to serve Jesus alongside of each of you! Bless you and let us continue to be a blessing to our neighbours and our community! Pastor Ian LEAD PASTOR IAN TRIGG COVID-19 HOW FOOTHILLS ADAPTED TO THE PANDEMIC Foothills, like many other churches, has been profoundly impacted by COVID-19. In March, we had the challenging task of connecting with our Foothills family and friends, while being mandated to stop in-person meetings and practice physical distancing. Our pastors moved their studies, groups and one-on-one meetings online. Our worship team worked diligently to create an engaging online experience. Here are some of the ways we saw God at work in our ministries: KNOW GOD Average weekly LIVESTREAMS between March 1 to September 13 (relaunch) 2,315 People attended Christmas Eve Service 1,599 People attended Easter Service online 2,348 LOVE OTHERS Life Groups successfully moved online Total ministry events and meetings 166 22 Young Adults went to Camp Nakamun 858 150+ Alpha attendees online EASTER SERVICES - A DEEPER LOOK: Churches across Alberta were mandated to stop in-person services in March. Foothills had just started rehearsals for their annual Easter production, which reached a record of 4,825 people last year. With less than a month notice, Foothills had to find a way to engage people online. With Good Friday and Easter quickly approaching, some churches in Calgary made the difficult decision to cancel their services. The worship and pastoral team at Foothills banded together, deciding to create an unforgettable online experience. Even though Foothills encountered a significant challenge, we were able to reach into more than 1,500 homes.

The Nominating Committee’s mandate is to “nominate sufficient qualified candidates to fill the number of specified board positions.

The Nominating Committee is responsible to ensure that all persons being nominated for eldership meet the qualifications required by Scripture, as well as required by the Local Church Constitution and Bylaws.

STEVE PLETT Since 1993, Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten has been making a positive Christian impact in NW Calgary. With full enrolment, our school services 166 families annually (142 Preschool and 24 Kindergarten). Our Educators support learning through play. Play provides limitless possibilities for learning and development. Through play, children naturally learn about their surroundings, express their thoughts and feelings, advocate for their own points of view and learn to respond to other people’s perspectives. Our students hear the message of Christ through worship singing, Bible stories and prayer. We encourage our students to show the love of Christ to their fellow students through sharing and praising, and to their parents by helping and obeying. They also show Christ’s love to their community by purchasing items for the Calgary Food Bank, for Operation Christmas Child, by filling Baby Bottles for the Pregnancy Care Center and playing board games with the church seniors. In the 2019/2020 school year, we expanded our services and started providing in-house Early Intervention Services. Through our programming, which we named “Solid Foundations,” we assess and provide support for children with special needs (i.e. ESL, speech, occupational therapy, behaviour, etc.) Solid Foundations allows us to offer families early intervention services not readily available at other schools. In March, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to offer families support and education online. Teachers opened online classrooms and connected with children and families through Zoom. To end our year, staff hosted drive-by “graduations.” For more information about our school, check out our website at school.foothillsalliance.com. PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM 2019-2020 I.

GARRICK FRYKLIND BYLAW AMENDMENTS Preamble The board is recommending that the Foothills membership adopt bylaw changes to give the board of elders the option to use proxy voting and virtual congregational meetings. This is to accommodate gathering restrictions when in place (eg COVID-19) and allows for members greater access to the meetings. Foothills Alliance Church operates under the Constitution of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. The Local Church Constitution (LCC) outlines the operational policies for churches, including those policies which are at the discretion of the local congregational membership. These are placed into our bylaws. Bylaws are required to be filed with the denominational office and the government, as Foothills is corporately chartered as a charity. The following bylaws changes are proposed. Changes are in red. Article II Government Bylaw 4 The quorum for any meeting of the membership shall consist of members present. For the purpose of determining quorum, a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by electronic means approved in advance by the Board. New Bylaw 8 At the Board’s discretion any meeting of the membership can include participation by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities that permit participants to vote and communicate adequately with each other during a meeting of members in the manner provided by the policies and procedures of Foothills Alliance Church. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting. You will note that we are using a proxy vote before the membership votes on this motion. With the pandemic the courts and the Alberta Government are allowing boards to approve bylaw changes with immediate effect if they are a benefit to the membership. In this case to allow for members to vote by proxy versus being forced to attend an in-person AGM. The Board of Elders have approved these changes. The members must approve board approved bylaws revisions at this AGM. Article V Amendments Bylaw 1 These Bylaws may be amended from time to time by a three-quarters (3/4) majority vote at the annual meeting or a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose. Under the Alberta Societies Act “special resolutions” must have a three quarters (75%) majority. “Bylaws Amendments” are defined as a special resolution. Foothills Alliance is registered with the Alberta Government as a ‘branch’ of the C&MA WCD (Western Canadian District). The WCD is registered under the Alberta Societies Act. The Alberta Societies Act supersedes the LCC and our bylaws. That is, Foothills bylaws amendments have required a 75% majority to pass irrespective of what our bylaws state. This is not a new change. The Alberta Societies Act had this stipulation since 2000, it has just been missed. Bylaws change are not typically a controversial issue. The reason this is more relevant is that the change to allow women as elders is a bylaw change and 75% vs simple majority (50%) is relevant. In fact, the policy committee had to check our women as elder’s bylaw amendment vote that Foothills members had in 2009. We assumed at the time that we needed 2/3 majority when in fact we needed a 75% majority. Luckily, we passed with a 76% majority. The National Office was required to change the LCC this last Assembly as a two-thirds for passing special resolutions was written into our governing documents and this needed to change for churches in Alberta registered under the Societies Act. Bylaw Motion Motion adopt the highlighted changes to the Foothills Alliance Church Bylaws. Article II Government Bylaw 4 The quorum for any meeting of the membership shall consist of members present. For the purpose of determining quorum, a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by electronic means approved in advance by the Board. New Bylaw 8 At the Board’s discretion any meeting of the membership can include participation by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities that permit participants to vote and communicate adequately with each other during a meeting of members in the manner provided by the policies and procedures of Foothills Alliance Church. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting. Article V Amendments Bylaw 1 These Bylaws may be amended from time to time by a three-quarters (3/4) majority vote at the annual meeting or a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose.

HORIZON CHURCH This past year saw us launch a weekly Sunday gathering, and our average weekly attendance doubled in size. We continued to run regular Alpha courses to engage U of C students, and we began an ESL ministry that met in a local cafe in Brentwood. When the pandemic began and forced churches into moving online, our leadership team sensed that the Holy Spirit wanted to use COVID to lead us into new ways of thinking and operating as the church. Since June we have made the pivot to becoming a network of house churches that meet every Sunday morning in homes as well as together throughout the week. We currently have five house churches that meet together, with plans to begin two more in the coming months. We have an ‘all- in’ gathering coming up this month which will be a chance for our entire church to come together for worship. We would appreciate your prayers for that service, and for our leaders as we continue to make this shift! Please pray that many would hear and respond to the good news about Jesus through the efforts of our house churches. GLACIER RIDGE CHURCH Glacier Ridge Church (GRC) launched fall 2018 with its first public service on September 16. At GRC we want to be a people who are on a Journey with Jesus, who Invite Others to join in that journey, and be Together Transformed into the image and character of Christ. While we spent the first year and a half of our existence primarily meeting at Ken Taylor School in Evanston, we also worked to establish a more permanent space for our church. In March 2019 we entered into an agreement to lease 5000 square feet in the Royal Vista business park. In September 2019, the Calgary city council approved our rezoning and development permit applications. In October we received our Building Permit and construction began. We completed our construction, with magnificent contributions from dozens of volunteers in planning, guiding, laboring, painting, cleaning, decorating and set up on February 29th. We deeply appreciate Foothills support and expertise in our building project and your financial assistance with the build out costs. We held our first service on March 1, 2020 in our new location and were able to get one more service in before we were forced to close for Covid-19 lockdown. While our building project consumed significant time and energy, we celebrated 3 baptisms in the Bow River this year at our St. Patrick’s Island park picnic! Again, we supported Ken Taylor’s school Christmas hamper program and enjoyed a great relationship with the school. We look forward to using our new location to serve our surrounding communities, reach people for Christ and see them transformed into his image. We are so grateful for Foothills! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements – we continue to covet them. On behalf of GRC, Pastors Cam and Eric CLICK ME FOR FAQ ABOUT GLACIER RIDGE CHURCH! CLICK ME FOR FAQ ABOUT HORIZON CHURCH!

VISION PRAYERO God, we long, with all our hearts, for a transforming journey with you where you are making us to be a people who know you, love others, reach neighbours and serve the world.

General (Ministry) Fund$1,895

Building Fund$550

Missions Fund$450

Justice & Compassion Fund$125

General (Ministry) Fund

PersonnelMinistryFacilitiesAdministrationDistrictTransfers to Building and MissionsSurplus (Deficit)

The General Fund supports the main ministries and functions of the church, including the cost of day to day operations. In Apr 2020 the board asked donors to redirect all giving to the general fund. The board transferred $237K from the general fund to the building and missions funds in Q2 2020. Personnel expenditure of $1,438 is net of federal grants of $160 for a total personnel expenditure of $1,598. The 2019-2020 deficit of $80K will be covered by prior year surpluses.

Building Fund

Bank Loan RepaymentCapital Facility UpgradesBuilding Fund Emergency ReserveBuilding Fund Cash Reserve

Three quarters of the Building Fund is used to make our mortgage payments which will continue until Nov 2025 based on the current schedule. The rest of the Building Fund is used to complete planned (preventative) and unplanned (unexpected repairs) capital projects required to maintain our building and technology assets. With Covid we paid only interest for the months Apr, May andJune. For 2020-2021 we paid only interest for Jul and Aug. Remaining mortgage balance as of June 30 2020 is $2.1M. Actual Total includes $150K transfer from the General Fund, $514k less $150k = $364 that was donated directly to the Building Fund.

Justice & Compassion Fund

The Justice and Compassion Fund is used to relieve poverty, restore dignity, work against injustice and help promote the kingdom reign of Jesus. Historically, a staff salary has been incorporated into the Fund budget used to oversee and administer it. In 2019-2020, the staff salary has been incorporated into the General Fund along with other personnel salaries. The Justice and Compassion Fund is now a flow through fund where all monies go directly to supporting its mandate.

Missions Fund

Moved by Ken Chapman, seconded by Sandy Palmer, to accept the Pastor’s report as included in the Annual Report and verbally highlighted by Ian Trigg. Carried.

Those being nominated for the Nominating Committee are Susie Epp and Sandra Stevenson. Moved by Lawrence Stalder, seconded by Gord Miller, that Susie Epp and Sandra Stevenson be members from the congregation on the Nominating Committee for the year 2019/20. Carried.

b) Vote and Collection of Ballots. Ballots were distributed by the Tellers to the members in attendance and collected.

TREASURER’S REPORT: BUDGET Jim Palmer presented highlights from the Treasurer’s Budget Report, some of which was circulated previously to the membership and congregation.

Questions:• Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten is a separate entity with separate budget.• Is there a BOE-approved policy with guidelines for rental groups? Yes.• Do we have term limits for staff members to allow for turnover and

the hiring of promising young staff? Longer-term employees receive higher wages, a budget consideration. Discussed often in Personnel Committee, but no fixed terms currently. Regular evaluations. “Senior” or l ong-term staff lend maturity and stability; need to balance with younger staff.

• Additional Special giving opportunities— Slide reflects giving to approved special offerings. Congregation supports additional missions besides what is in budget.

• Could JCC fund be applied to Glacier Ridge? Has been discussed by BOE, Policies limit what JCC can be used for; CRA has rules for prudent use. BOE can change policy and can take this point under consideration.

• Surprise at “intense” support of GRC; why are they not “launched” and selfsupporting? WCD Launch process explained in FACs.

• Suggestion to present a balance sheet; very complicated; best available on a request basis for those who are

• interested. We are audited annually, with good reports.• Suggestion to limit projects instead of trying to fund

multiple causes. There is a tension between finance and faith. Fixed-cost funds (General Fund, mortgage) are doing okay. The “flow-through” funds (Missions, Compassion) do not distribute more than is taken in; if we don’t receive the budgeted amount, we don’t spend it.

MOTION 1APPROVAL OF F INANCIAL RESULTS—Moved by J im Lees , seconded by Ferdinand Randshuizen, that the report on the 2018-19 Foothills Alliance Church financial results be accepted as presented. Carried.

ADJOURNMENT — Moved by Terry Hawley, seconded by Doug Fowler, to adjourn the meeting. Carried.

This has been a year like no other for us all! I’ve joked many times that “I must have slept in that morning at Bible College when they taught us how to lead the church in a season of pandemic!” I also missed the addendum on “how to write an annual report message in a season of pandemic!” Our world changed forever when we decided, during thesecond week of March, that all our public ministries would be temporarily suspended. We had no idea how long this would last. Our best guess was that there would be no public gatherings until at least midway through the summer but here we are in October, slowly beginning to open up again.

There’s so much I could say about this season but let me shorten it to a profound sense of gratitude. First to the One who said, “I will build my church and the very gates of hell will not prevail against it.” If I didn’t believe in a good and kind and sovereign God, I’d easily succumb to the conspiracy theorist’s judgment that this whole COVID thing is a giant social experiment to inflict chaos on us all! But I do believe in a good and kind God and believe he still has all things in control. He has been so faithful and so gracious and so present and I am so thankful.

I’m also beyond grateful for our leadership team at Foothills, both staff and Elders. Our team stepped up to the challenge of providing online ministry with great passion, creativity and enthusiasm. So many have worked so hard that it would take pages to mention them all but please know that we have been profoundly blessed with amazing leadership from our Elders and Staff that truly matches the biblical truth: “For such a time as this!”

To find ways to say thank you to the Foothills family is no small challenge. Financially, last April our Board allowed us to reach into our reserve fund to keep our minstries moving forward. Remarkably, by the gracious hand of God, and your generous giving, we not only didn’t need to access any of our reserves, but actually added to that reserve fund. God’s faithfulness and your extravagant generosity continue to amaze me!

But it’s not just our finances that brings me gratitude. It has been the many expressions of prayer, kindness, support and hope that has truly added wind to my sails these past seven months. I’m thrilled with the manner in which our children’s ministry team, under Heather Malkinson’s leadership, found a way to run 7 camps for kids this summer. I’m grateful for how Patti Love and her team have carried on our vibrant Intercultural Ministry online. Our youth adult ministry team leaders have truly stepped up to find ways to care for the youth and adults of our church. I’m so thankful for Jerry and the volunteers who found a way for us to complete last Spring’s Alpha and get the Fall session launched.

I say it often but I so love being your pastor and feel so blessed by God to be a part of such a caring, trusting, encouraging church family.

So while I think we’ve mostly survived many of the potential perils of the pandemic, the question of “what’s next?” is clearly before us. As you know, we are early into our relaunching of ministries and weekend services. We are meeting live for our Sunday morning services with the best protocols and practices we know to provide the safest experience for our family.In addition, we continue to provide the best weekend online church experience. Rebecca Schnell, our Worship Arts Director, and her team have given so much and worked so hard – we are all greatly indebted to them. The majority of our ministries are happening this Fall, most in-person and some online. I’m so grateful for the creativity and passion of our Pastors and lay leaders who are makingthis happen.

We still don’t how long we will live in a world caught in a pandemic. The implications of this reality will continue to impact us deeply. Yet our passion to find pathways to enable people to know God and love others and reach neighbours and serve the world are just as important to us as ever. We will not shy away from finding creative ways to help people grow in their experience with God and in their discovery of authentic biblical community. The call to serve others in our church and in our community has never been clearer and more necessary than it is right now. Here are a few other priorities before us right now:

• To increase our focus on volunteer engagement and training • To develop a plan to eliminate our mortgage (currently sitting at $2.1 million) • To foster new and manageable strategies to grow us as disciples of Jesus • To support our parents in influencing their children to follow Jesus • To continue to develop strategies in reaching and serving our community – especially in our Justice and Compassion Ministry and our Intercultural Ministries • For each ministry to develop a clear discipleship strategy • To see the Alpha ministry continue to expand in both numbers and impact • To address impending replacement of the HVAC system for our roof top units in the original building

We don’t want to be presumptuous about what the future holds but nor do we want to live in a holding pattern as we see how ministry canhappen in a pandemic world. God is still sovereign and still committed to building his church. We prayerfully anticipate all He longs to do both in us and through us as we extend the heart and will of Jesus to those in our community. Thanks for your prayers and your faithfulness. Greater is he who is in us that he who is in the world. He is building his church and it is so exciting to see that happen. Thank you for your faithfulness and your prayers. It is such a privilege to serve Jesus alongside of each of you!

Bless you and let us continue to be a blessing to our neighbours and our community!Pastor Ian

COVID-19HOW FOOTHILLS ADAPTED TO THE PANDEMIC

Foothills, like many other churches, has been profoundly impacted by COVID-19. In March, we had the challenging task of connecting with our Foothills family and friends, while being mandated to stop in-person meetings and practice physical distancing.

Our pastors moved their studies, groups and one-on-one meetings online. Our worship team worked diligently to create an engaging online experience. Here are some of the ways we saw God at work in our ministries:

EASTER SERVICES - A DEEPER LOOK:Churches across Alberta were mandated to stop in-person services in March. Foothills had just started rehearsals for their annual Easter production, which reached a record of 4,825 people last year. With less than a month notice, Foothills had to find a way to engage people online.

With Good Friday and Easter quickly approaching, some churches in Calgary made the difficult decision to cancel their services. The worship and pastoral team at Foothills banded together, deciding to create an unforgettable online experience. Even though Foothills encountered a significant challenge, we were able to reach into more than 1,500 homes.

NOMINATINGCOMMITTEE REPORT

The 2019 – 2020 Foothills Alliance Nominating Committee consists of: Susie Epp(congregant), Sandra Stephenson (congregant), Karen Vine (elder), Allen Adrian (elder) and Ian Trigg (lead pastor). The Nominating Committee’s mandate is to “nominate sufficient qualified candidates to fill the number of specified board positions. Women and men are eligible to be elected as elders provided they meet all other qualifications in the bylaws. The Nominating Committee is allowed to present as many candidates as it finds suitable. The Nominating Committee is responsible to ensure that all persons being nominated for eldership meet the qualifications required by Scripture, as well as required by the Local Church Constitution and Bylaws. The nominating process involves meeting several times for candidate interviews and prayerful consideration. Prayer and reflection inform each step. With COVID-19 restrictions relating to in-person meetings, the board has decided to allow our members to vote via proxy. The management of the proxy is a task for tellers. The tellers are required before the AGM to manage the proxy vote. The board asked the Nominating Committee to bring forward names for members willing to be tellers for the 2020 AGM. The Nominating Committee hasrecommended these tellers for the 2020 AGM, which has been approved by the board. Motion: The Nominating Committee moved that Chris Boelcke, George Coutts, Ken Draper, Dave Anderson be appointed as tellers for the 2020 AGM. The board asks the members to approve these named tellers.

Foothills Elders are elected for one-year terms, for a maximum of six consecutive terms.

Since 1993, Foothills Alliance Preschool and Kindergarten has been making a positive Christian impact in NW Calgary. With full enrolment, our school services 166 families annually (142 Preschool and 24 Kindergarten). Our Educators support learning through play. Play provides limitless possibilities for learning and development. Through play, children naturally learn about their surroundings, express their thoughts and feelings, advocate for their own points of view and learn to respond to other people’s perspectives. Our students hear the message of Christ through worship singing, Bible stories and prayer. We encourage our students to show the love of Christ totheir fellow students through sharing and praising, and to their parents by helping and obeying. They also show Christ’s love to their community by purchasing items for the Calgary Food Bank, for Operation Christmas Child, by filling Baby Bottles for the Pregnancy Care Center and playing board games with the church seniors. In the 2019/2020 school year, we expanded our services and started providing in-house Early Intervention Services. Through our programming, which we named “Solid Foundations,” we assess and provide support for children with special needs (i.e. ESL, speech, occupational therapy, behaviour, etc.) Solid Foundations allows us to offer families early intervention services not readily available at other schools. In March, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to offer families support and education online. Teachers opened online classrooms and connected with children and families through Zoom. To end our year, staff hosted drive-by “graduations.” For more information about our school, check out our website at school.foothillsalliance.com.

BYLAWAMENDMENTS

PreambleThe board is recommending that the Foothills membership adopt bylaw changes to give the board of elders the option to use proxy voting and virtual congregational meetings. This is to accommodate gathering restrictions when in place (eg COVID-19) and allows for members greater access to the meetings.

Foothills Alliance Church operates under the Constitution of the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada. The Local Church Constitution (LCC) outlines the operational policies for churches, including those policies which are at the discretion of the local congregational membership. These are placed into our bylaws. Bylaws are required to be filed with the denominational office and the government, as Foothills is corporately chartered as a charity.

The following bylaws changes are proposed. Changes are in red.Article II Government

Bylaw 4 The quorum for any meeting of the membership shall consist of members present. For the purpose of determining quorum, a member may be present in person, by written signed proxy, or by electronic means approved in advance by the Board. New Bylaw 8 At the Board’s discretion any meeting of the membership can include participation by telephone, electronic or other communication facilities that permit participants to vote and communicate adequately with each other during a meeting of members in the manner provided by the policies and procedures of Foothills Alliance Church. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting.

You will note that we are using a proxy vote before the membership votes on this motion. With the pandemic the courts and the Alberta Government are allowing boards to approve bylaw changes with immediate effect if they are a benefit to the membership. In this case to allow for members to vote by proxy versus being forced to attend an in-person AGM. The Board of Elders have approved these changes. The members must approve board approved bylaws revisions at this AGM.

Article V Amendments Bylaw 1 These Bylaws may be amended from time to time by a three-quarters (3/4) majority vote at the annual meeting or a special meeting of the membership called for such purpose.

Under the Alberta Societies Act “special resolutions” must have a three quarters (75%) majority. “Bylaws Amendments” are defined as a special resolution. Foothills Alliance is registered with the Alberta Government as a ‘branch’ of the C&MA WCD (Western Canadian District). The WCD is registered under the Alberta Societies Act. The Alberta Societies Act supersedes the LCC and our bylaws. That is, Foothills bylaws amendments have required a 75% majority to pass irrespective of what our bylaws state.

This is not a new change. The Alberta Societies Act had this stipulation since 2000, it has just been missed. Bylaws change are not typically a controversial issue. The reason this is more relevant is that the change to allow women as elders is a bylaw change and 75% vs simple majority (50%) is relevant. In fact, the policy committee had to check our women as elder’s bylaw amendment vote that Foothills members had in 2009. We assumed at the time that we needed 2/3 majority when in fact we needed a 75% majority. Luckily, we passed with a 76% majority.

The National Office was required to change the LCC this last Assembly as a two-thirds for passing special resolutions was written into our governing documents and this needed to change for churches in Alberta registered under the Societies Act.

Bylaw Motion

Motion adopt the highlighted changes to the Foothills Alliance Church Bylaws.

HORIZON CHURCHThis past year saw us launch a weekly Sunday gathering, and our average weekly attendance doubled in size. We continued to run regular Alpha courses to engage U of C students, and we began an ESL ministry that met in a local cafe in Brentwood. When the pandemic began and forced churches into moving online, our leadership team sensed that the Holy Spirit wanted to use COVID to lead us into new ways of thinking and operating as the church. Since June we have made the pivot to becoming a network of house churches that meet every Sunday morning in homes as well as together throughout the week. We currently have five house churches that meet together, with plans to begin two more in the coming months. We have an ‘all-in’ gathering coming up this month which will be a chance for our entire church to come together for worship. We would appreciate your prayers for that service, and for our leaders as we continue to make this shift! Please pray that many would hear and respond to the good news about Jesus through the efforts of our house churches.

GLACIER RIDGE CHURCHGlacier Ridge Church (GRC) launched fall 2018 with its first public service on September 16. At GRC we want to be a people who are on a Journey with Jesus, who Invite Others to join in that journey, and be Together Transformed into the image and character of Christ. While we spent the first year and a half of our existence primarily meeting at Ken Taylor School in Evanston, we also worked to establish a more permanent space for our church. In March 2019 we entered into an agreement to lease 5000 square feet in the Royal Vista business park. In September 2019, the Calgary city council approved our rezoning and development permit applications. In October we received our Building Permit and construction began. We completed our construction, with magnificent contributions from dozens of volunteers in planning, guiding, laboring, painting,cleaning, decorating and set up on February 29th. We deeply appreciate Foothills support and expertise in our building project and your financial assistance with the build out costs. We held our first service on March 1, 2020 in our new location and were able to get one more service in before we were forced to close for Covid-19 lockdown.While our building project consumed significant time and energy, we celebrated 3 baptisms in the Bow River this year at our St. Patrick’s Island park picnic! Again, we supported Ken Taylor’s school Christmas hamper program and enjoyed a great relationship with the school. We look forward tousing our new location to serve our surrounding communities, reach people for Christ and see them transformed into his image. We are so grateful for Foothills! Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements – we continue to covet them.

On behalf of GRC,Pastors Cam and Eric
