Community Outreach
Cultural Festival
Saturday, August 24th, 2024 was our first annual Cultural Festival. It was a blast! Our community is extremely diverse and we thoroughly enjoyed celebrating that. Various members of our church family, and friends, hosted tables of their home country, featuring homemade treats. Participants received a “passport” and collected stickers of different countries while getting savory tastes of foreign lands. Visitors could also enjoy face painting at our children’s ministry table, learn about our CONNECT youth group (grade 6-12 students), our Tender Hearts Preschool, or engage with local community services like Drug & Alcohol Prevention, Emergency Services and CPR, or enjoy the bounce house! Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2025 dates!
If serving others is on your heart, consider getting involved in our various events and outreach opportunities. If you have a passion for reaching lost people, a willingness to serve sacrificially, and a desire to learn & grow, we want to help you be the church. Contact our office if you’re interested (fac@firstalliancehbg.com) in getting involved with our Outreach Ministry.
Some of our annual Outreach events have included:
Trunk or Treat
Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

Over the years we have partnered with the PA Central Food Bank for various service projects. Small groups have gone to help sort food. Volunteers helped during the pandemic to pack boxes. For Advent season 2022, we did a non-perishable Food Drive and donated over 100 pounds of goods (about 12 paper grocery bags). We’re so thankful for the tangible impact CPFB has in our community.
Global Kids Harrisburg
Mark and Cheryl started attending FAC the fall of 2022. Having previously served the C&MA through Envision in Atlanta, they moved to Harrisburg to be closer to their daughter and her family. They bring a huge heart to reach non-native born families by “empowering global kids for life and service”.
