Mount Vernon Alliance Church

Mount Vernon Alliance Church is a congregation in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a global movement committed to the deeper life of intimacy with Jesus and global missions. The passion of The Alliance is to know Jesus Christ; exalt Him as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King; and complete His Great Commission. MVAC’s motto is First Christ, Then Change, It’s Really That Simple. It’s all about Jesus. Our love for Him compels us to tell other people about His great love and mercy for all mankind.

In the words of A.B. Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, "Let us never forget the special calling of our Alliance work. It is not to form a new religious denomination; it is not to duplicate a work already done. It is not to advocate any special system of theology. It is not to glorify any man or men. It is first to lift up Jesus in His fullness...to encourage and incite people of God to do the neglected work of our age and time among the unchurched classes at home and the perishing heathen abroad."

Mount Vernon Alliance Church was incorporated on April 24, 1945 to bring the light of Jesus Christ to Mount Vernon, NY. We were here when Mount Vernon was a wonderful place to live, we where here when South Mount Vernon began its economic, political, and social decline, and we are here now to bring the peace, order, stability, and salvation of Christ the King to our community. We purpose to lay a strong foundation to become the Third Place in our community; the place between home and work/school where the community can gather to be refreshed and equipped to be kingdom agents of positive transformation in the Mount Vernon community.
