Hi Alliance Friends-Below is a very basic Statement of Faith. It is one that I have used in another ministry. It is "cross-denominational" and I think you'll find these truths to be basic to all Christians. I especially LOVE #6! That's a picture of this Alliance!Thanks!Lorie~ One God in three Persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit~ Jesus Christ’s deity, virgin birth, sinless humanity,

Hi Alliance Friends-Since Biltmore Baptist was not an option for our next meeting, we will meet at Merrimon Ave. Baptist Church. We will meet there on Sat. June 13th at 9AM. Just so you know, the church will be having a men's breakfast that morning...but that should have little impact on us. There will be signs directing people from the Alliance to the room where the meeting will take place.
