Originally known as Fremont Chinese Alliance, Silicon Valley Alliance Church settled in Milpitas in the late '90s. With a strong emphasis on evangelizing, this church strengthens its members through Bible study and prayer, then commissions them to reach out to friends, family and co-workers. At Alpha Course events, that are held in 1o-week sessions, those curious about God are able to explore the meaning of life, faith, and Christianity in a relaxed, casual setting.
