In 1882, Dr. A.B. Simpson, a Canadian immigrant pastor of the Thirteenth Street Presbyterian Church in New York City, founded what would become Alliance University.

The legacy of the University continues to empower and equip students in their spiritual, intellectual and social formation preparing them for lives of service to Christ and His Church and to society in a way that reflects the Kingdom of God and its ethnic diversity.
