Another large Alliance Church in the Okanagan Valley, The Oliver Alliance Church was built in 1990 and is an impressive white building with red trim. There is a plaque attached to an interior wall of what would be the narthex that B managed to photograph through a window. It reads as follows:

For The Glory
Of God
1990

Alliance Church

"The Evangelical Era (1947-1974)
Following World War II, many people began moving to the cities, and the C&MA continued to move forward. The tabernacles were exchanged for traditional church buildings and many C&MA churches moved to the suburbs.

In 1974 the C&MA officially declared itself to be a denomination, along with a sweeping restructuring of the organization. During this time, Dr. A.W. Tozer and Dr. Louis L. King greatly influenced The Alliance. Dr. King as head of the missionary effort began to implement the indigenous church policy-envisioning each national church of the C&MA as self-supporting, self-propagating, and self-governing entity."
