ABOUT CIRCLE DRIVE
ALLIANCE CHURCH
Circle Drive Alliance Church first began meeting in 1933 in a little white wood-framed church on 13th Street.
After an 11 year period of growth and several venue changes, the community moved again and became known as University Drive Alliance Church. By the early 1970’s the church planted 7 alliance churches in the city and continued to grow. Under the leadership of Rev. Walter Boldt, the congregation decided to enter another building project, and in 1979 moved to the current location, and became known as Circle Drive Alliance Church. In 1990, Rev. Eldon Boldt became Senior Pastor of Circle Drive Alliance Church and lead our church with a deep vision to reach our neighbourhood and impact our city.
In 2020, Pastor Eldon retired after 30 years of ministry.
From 2021-2023, Pastor Jon Cook served as our Lead Pastor.
In 2023, we hired Bob Claxton, a Transition Pastor, to lead Circle through the process of finding the next Lead Pastor for Circle.
In 2026, we called Pastor Prince Thomas to serve as our Lead Pastor.
