If you want to see Godâs work come alive, youâve got to see ALC for yourself. A living example of the ideal definition of a church, ALC is not just a building; itâs the people who worship there. ALC was founded in 1981 by Dr. Ed Montgomery and his wife Saundra Elaine. The first church was located inside a small officeâa mere 1800 sq footâon 5900 Allday Drive. The congregation consisted of 31 people, including the pastor and his family. With the churchâs beginnings in place, Dr. Montgomeryâs vision began to take form. The â80s brought a membership explosion and ALC was moving on up. ALC moved to its 2ND location, across the streetâjust a few feet awayâto 5901 Allday Drive. But even in their larger new home, the congregation and Dr. Edâs ministry continued to grow.
