As in so many cases, the story of Slave Lake Alliance had a humble beginning. The summer of 1971 began with Sunday School meetings, morning Bible study and evening service each Sunday held on the premises of C J Schurter School.

Sod was turned at the present location in spring 1975, and construction of Phase 1 began. On December 7, 1975, the first service was held in the new sanctuary. The dedication service was held on January 18, 1976.

In 1980, the two-floor learning centre was built, adding much-needed space to the existing structure. It housed Sunday School classrooms, office space, a banquet hall, a kitchen, and a fireside room.


The year 2000 saw the expansion of the sanctuary and foyer. This increased the seating capacity and added two offices and extra foyer space.
