History

Our congregation was begun in Springfield in 1951 in the home of a Freewill Baptist Church minister.  Subsequently, they bought a property.  After a time their minister moved on and then they could not get another Freewill minister that they agreed with.  At the suggestion of one of their families this congregation looked into the Alliance as a denomination to work with.  After talking to Alliance officials they began an affiliation with them around 1960, becoming an official Alliance church in 1961.  After deciding to move to Eugene and selling the Springfield church building, the congregation met in various places such as school lunchrooms, etc.  The church purchased the property it is now on and built a facility.  The congregation moved to its present location in Northwest Eugene in 1983.  Since becoming an Alliance church, there have been four pastors.  The current pastor, Glen Zimmermann, has pastored the church for the past 27 years.

Who We Are

There is a strong family atmosphere in the church with most families trying to fulfill, with God’s grace, the biblical mandate of husbands loving their wives, wives being subject to their husbands, and children being obedient to their parents.  Other attendees are older, single, widowed or divorced.  One quite noticeable attribute of the church is that even up to an hour after the morning worship service, people are still fellowshipping with one another.
