To improve the quality of life of our neighbours, by providing hope, compassion, and help to those who are hurting and in need.

Mission

Neighbourlink Parkland is a collaboration of volunteers from Christian ministries in Parkland County, Stony Plain, and Spruce Grove, Alberta.

We are so blessed as a non profit organization for the many volunteers that willingly give and serve to meet the needs of the community. Neighbourlink Parkland had the honor of recognizing the many years of service Dick Lutz has provided, including being Past Chair of the Neighbourlink Parkland Board. Thank you to those that took the time to come and honor Dick. "Each of you should use whichever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10. Thank you Dick for serving others and blessing Neighbourlink Parkland!

Volunteers Bill and Rose Almdal

Being “Good News to Our Community” is nothing new to those who call Stony Plain Alliance Church (SPAC) home. It has been part of our culture for 80 years. Those who know Bill and Rose Almdal would agree that they have embodied this aspect of our vision in extraordinary ways over their 17 years at SPAC. Bill has filled a number of roles in a variety of local community organizations and Rose recently began a ministry in Zihuatanejo, Mexico teaching mothers who live at the dump how to sew. They are always looking for ways, here and abroad, to connect local churches to the needs of their surrounding community. One of their deep passions over the past decade has been their involvement with Neighbourlink Parkland. SPAC has supported Neighbourlink over the years through our provision of financial donations, volunteers, gifts in kind and in a directorial role. Bill and Rose continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community and abroad.
