Who we are
At Andover Alliance Church, we have a simple hope: to see people come to know Jesus Christ and grow in their Christian faith. For 10 years, we've been helping spread God's good news here in our hometown and throughout the world, and we pray that God will continue to use our congregation. Whether you've been attending church for years or haven't stepped into a sanctuary in decades, we hope you'll come and join us Sunday if you're looking for a church in our hometown.
When you come to join us for the first time, one of our greeters will be glad to help you become comfortable. If you'd like, they'll help you find the nursery (which is fully staffed and safely run), restrooms, sanctuary and, of course, coffee after the service.
During the service, you'll hear our faith expressed in the songs we sing, prayers we offer up and our pastor's preaching. All parts of our service are grounded in the Bible, which we are committed to upholding. At Andover Alliance Church, we agree with the Apostle's Creed and Nicene Creed, which we may read during the service. The Apostle's and Nicene Creeds are two of the most ancient Christian creeds, and you'll find they are upheld by almost all churches today.
After the service, join us for a cup of coffee and give us a chance to get to know each other. Say hello to our pastor and anyone else you see. We'd all love to hear your story and share ours with you.
No matter what your Christian background is (or isn't), we hope you'll join us on Sunday. Here at Andover Alliance Church, you'll find people of all sizes, stripes and colors, and we welcome everyone--including you. Our services start at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. every Sunday.

Leader Bio:
It’s been my privilege to be the pastor of the Andover Alliance Church since March 2009. I grew up in East Greenbush, NY (just outside Albany) to Godly parents who were very involved in the church. I attended Hudson Valley Community College, Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary. It was at Nyack that I met my gorgeous wife Sandi. We’ve been married since 1991 and have 2 wonderful daughters, Emily and Elissa.
It was at Nyack that I started a puppet ministry. Sandi joined the puppet team and the ministry has grown over the years as we involve more people and more puppet friends. Our puppet team here at Andover Alliance has performed at the Maple Fest, the local school, many area churches and senior citizen facilities.
Before coming to Andover, I pastored in C&MA churches in New Jersey, the Adirondacks, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. It is my passion to see people develop life changing relationships with Jesus Christ. My preaching is Bible based with an emphasis on its relevance to us today. I believe that the church needs to be a resource for the community, so I choose to be involved in civic activities as much as possible. I’m a member of the Andover Lions Club, Treasurer of the Andover 4th of July Committee, and serve as hospital chaplain. I’m also on the District Evangelism Committee. I begin each day with exercise and I’m an avid runner.
That’s enough about me. Why not come and visit? Tell us about you. Â

"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
