Welcome to New Life Alliance, a member church of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. New Life Alliance began as a calling from God upon the life of two people Pastor Kelvin McKnight and his wife, Penny McKnight. Pastor Kelvin began to pursue the idea of full-time ministry in the fall of 2001, working with Pastor Robert Goldenberg. As Kelvin and his wife began to pray about where God would lead them, they started getting a real burden for the people of Oneonta.

      By the time Kelvin came on staff in May 2002 at Circle Drive Alliance Church, God had already created a plan to build a daughter church of Circle Drive Alliance in Oneonta, New York. In July 2003, God gave Kelvin and his team the name of the new church and the "New Life Alliance" was conceived at Circle Drive Alliance Church. Our plans call for small groups to begin in fall 2003, and public services to start in April 2004 or so.
