Our Values

Experience God

“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Mark 13:30–31)

Experience God

We believe that the foundation of every transformed life is a genuine encounter with God. At Alliance, we strive to create opportunities where hearts can be touched, minds renewed, and lives changed by the presence of God. Our worship is expressive, our teaching is rooted in Scripture, and our hearts are open to the movement of the Holy Spirit.

Empower Believers

“We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.” (Romans 15:1–2)

Empower Believers

Discipleship is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to walking with individuals on their spiritual journey—equipping, encouraging, and edifying one another through prayer, teaching, and authentic relationships. At Alliance, believers are nurtured into leaders and sent out as change agents for the Kingdom.

Engage Community

“Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Romans 5:12)

Engage Community

We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. As a church family, we are actively engaged in meeting the needs of our local community and beyond through outreach, partnerships, and compassionate service. Our Caribbean heritage fuels a vibrant culture of hospitality, resilience, and joy that makes every individual feel seen and valued.

History of Alliance

1922
Alliance is Born

Alliance Tabernacle (affiliated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance) was birthed in a tent meeting during the summer of 1922 by a dedicated evangelistic committee from the Gospel Tabernacle in New York City, now known as First Alliance Church. What began as a spark of revival has since grown into a century-long flame of spiritual vitality in Brooklyn.

1948
Alliance Has a Home

Guided by prayer and in consultation with denominational leadership, the church board sold a previously owned property and purchased the land where the current sanctuary now stands. The original structure, built for $100,000 (including land), became a sacred space for worship, growth, and community outreach. In 2004, the church was lovingly remodeled and expanded to accommodate future generations.

2010
Pastor C. Galbreath Begins

In 2010, Rev. Dr. Charles O. Galbreath assumed leadership with dynamic passion and fresh vision. Under his care, Alliance embraced its identity as a “Church with Deep Roots, New Branches, Bearing Fruit in the Name of Jesus Christ.” His leadership saw the birth of new ministries and the establishment of the CRC Community Development Corporation, deepening the church’s impact in the borough of Brooklyn.

2012
Serving Our Community

A significant milestone came in 2012 with the establishment of the Sarita Jean Older Adult Club (Senior Center), in partnership with Fort Greene Council Inc. This ministry continues our long-standing commitment to serve the holistic needs of our community—mind, body, and spirit.

2021
Paid Off Our Mortgage

Alliance celebrated a financial milestone in 2021, paying off the mortgage from the 2004 remodel. In conjunction with this achievement, we reclaimed our historic name—Alliance Tabernacle Church—a name that honors our founding and prepares us to step boldly into our second century of mission.

2022
Returning to Our Roots

In December 2021, the mortgage was fully paid, reaffirming God’s faithfulness and positioning us for future ministry. We stepped into 2022 with renewed focus, returning to our roots and preparing the soil for new spiritual growth.

What We Believe

We stand firmly on the unchanging truths of Scripture and the doctrinal statements of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Our faith is not merely theoretical—it is the foundation of our worship, mission, and daily living. We hold to the following core beliefs:

From the Triune nature of God to the hope of Christ’s imminent return, each article of our faith is a testimony to the grace, power, and promises of God. We invite you to explore what we believe—and more importantly, to experience the God in whom we believe.
