The name Allegiance was suggested by friend (James Hood) and we agreed that one word could really say a lot. God can minister through one whose Allegiance and loyalty is to Him.
Consisting of members that have been involved in the Gospel music ministry since 1985. Allegiance is a part-time Southern Gospel Group that started out as a Trio in 1994.
The group started out as A.C. Cooper III (lead vocal), Mike McKinney (tenor vocal) and Ivan McNelly (baritone vocal). The same three members served together in ministry until late 2007. Kenneth McKinney, Mike’s brother, served as Bass vocalist 2005-2006. Along with Todd Black as sound Engineer.
At the end of year 2007, our lead singer (A.C.) made a career move out of town, but returned late 2015. Encouraged by everyone to re-join, the group resumed our ministry early 2016.
Currently without a band, we use custom studio soundtracks as musical accompaniment. Strong point is our song variety. We have a song selection that ministers to all age groups.
