At the suggestion of the District Superintendent, the original core group that formed Forest Grove Alliance church came out of the Lawson Heights Alliance church. Others from the other Alliance churches joined this group before they held the first public service. Pastor Ernest Regier was asked to lead this new venture. The services started on September 7, 1986 in the Forest Grove school.

The school auditorium was the church home for the first seven months. Clare Gitzel, who had helped Pastor Regier in the church plants in Prince Albert and at Lawson Heights, again joined in this new venture.

While the new congregation settled in, the church was already eyeing property in the area. They rented a house on seven acres of choice property for a parsonage. It became a delightful quiet haven for the Regiers in the winter months.

After seven months in the school, they moved the Sunday services to the Saskatchewan School of Performing Arts building. People gathered during the week for Bible Studies and fellowship in various homes.

In 1987, the church was incorporated. By 1988, the average Sunday morning attendance was 106 people.

The steady growth of the membership made the construction of their own church building important. The church is located in the Erindale district, and became known on relocation as the Erindale Alliance Church. Three years of using school auditoriums came to an end in the fall of 1989. The dedication of the facilities was held on October 29, 1989.
