About Us:

Ferndale Alliance is a family friendly, Christ centered church that explores God's Word (the Bible) and expresses our worship in a positive and contemporary style. (And yes, we still do some of the great old hymns!). Currently our pastor is taking us "through the Bible" to help us understand the many different and wonderful ways God works in our lives.

Though the building we meet in is over 100 years old (it was once named the First Swedish Baptist Church of West Ferndale), FAC began in 1987 when 2 families (who were part of the Northwood Alliance church in Blaine) felt God wanted a similar congregation in Ferndale. The first service began on September 11, 1988 under the leadership of Pastor Jon Mutchler and his wife Diane.

Our pastor is a man who has a heart for this community and is committed to helping families find God's Message for them in the good and bad of life. Jon is also active in the area "music scene" (he is a professional pianist) and along his wife Diane (a former Ferndale school teacher), they have built 2 homes here. They have been married 21 years and raise six awesome kids, some who serve in various ministries around the church.

The folks here at FAC are families you likely know from our community. They come from different walks of life and come in all shapes and sizes. Some have been Christians "all their lives." Others have just begun their journey with God. And still others here are exploring and learning before them jump in with both feet. So, whether young or old, new or mature, FAC is a healthy and safe place to be!

We are part of a larger group (an "alliance") of churches called the Christian and Missionary Alliance that has churches across the country and around the world. Our churches emphasize living the life Jesus wants for us and sharing that dynamic and life changing news with others. Yes, we have some core beliefs and values about God and the Bible that guide us on our journey to know God.
