Community Alliance Church History
We began providing God's work in 1935 as three Sunday Schools with Anna Hanson and Anna Person who were alliance missionaries to the Indian community at Vineland, now part of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe a neighbor to the City of Garrison. Sunday school began in Garrison for its young children in 1935. At about the same time two Sunday schools were started at a schools known at the time of Esden school (Bay Lake) and Echo school (five miles west of Garrison.
In 1937 Rev. Hubert Rupp came to Garrison, preaching 3-services each Sunday at Garrison and two additional area locations. He worked with very little help to build a church and parsonage in Garrison. In 1949 a second Rev. was acquired, Rev. Norman Werner. He provided services in Garrison and Esden location until Garrison Alliance Church was organized.
It was at this time the Esden location still having about fourteen members who continued to seek God’s word was still active. In 1951 Rev. Melvin Stombaugh began his ministry and with volunteer labor from the congregation a new church building and parsonage were built. It was at this time a youth group was formed. Rev. Palmer came as a fourth pastor and the church began another expansion project of adding a vestibule and full basement to provide Sunday school rooms and restrooms.
There were two morning services during the summer to accommodate tourism visitors. The church continued to grow under Rev. Jackson Stutler and Rev. Garfield Powell. Membership in 1975 reached a high of 87 members. It was at this time the church constructed a new sanctuary with a full basement and the purchasing of two adjoining lots. The church invested indebtedness of $30,000 and was debt free in 1977.
The church continued under faithful direction from four reverends and a new parsonage was then moved to the adjoining lot and a full basement and entry were added. The church and parsonage sit on four lots and the sanctuary can seat up to 150+people. In 1971 the Northwest District Conference was held at the Garrison Alliance Church.
Our church fellowship over the years and current fellowship has benefitted from the love and labor of many. And, although our brief history of our church deals mainly with facilities and numbers we continue to strive to impact our community and know it is important for our church to remain the "Light on the Corner” doing God’s work.

"I would rather train twenty men to pray, than a thousand to preach; A minister's highest mission ought to be to teach his people to pray."
