Pastor Jim Jensen and his wife, Marj, have been at Faith Alliance Church for the past 37 years and Pastor Jim has always stated that the church's purpose is to glorify God in all we do, to share the love of Jesus Christ and the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with others, and to teach the truths of God from the Bible. Our motto is "Experiencing A Great God Through Great Faith."
The church first began in 1935 when God brought Rev. Ervin Bruckner from Milwaukee to Quinney to share Jesus Christ with the Oneida Indians in the Stockbridge area. As Rev. Bruckner stepped out in faith and moved his family north, God blessed him and provided a small, old empty church building in Quinney which he purchased for $200.00. To share the gospel out of their love for the Lord Jesus was their reason for coming. The church was formally organized in 1941 and joined the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination that is committed to teach, preach and live in accordance with God's Word, the Bible, and to share the message of Jesus with the whole world.

In 1960, by faith, the small congregation purchased the Lutheran Church on Grand St. in Chilton. The name Grand Street Alliance Church was adopted and the congregation began to grow. In the mid-1980's, as we saw demonstrations of God's faithfulness over and over, the name of the church was changed to "Faith Alliance Church".

In 1988 land was purchased on State Street in Chilton for a new church. The church was finished in 1995 with much of the work being done by congregation members. Within a very short time the church was paid for and all the glory again goes to God.

But the greatest demonstration of God's grace, goodness and mercy has been seen in individual lives. People have come to know Jesus Christ personally and their lives have been radically transformed by the working of the Holy Spirit. Forgiveness of past hurts, healed marriages, victory over addiction and changed lifestyles and attitudes are works that only God can do. As we have walked with Him in faith we have witnessed all of these things. We believe God is the head of our church and we strive to do His will and believe that His best for us is yet to come.
