Who We Are

Our Passion

Jesus commissioned His followers to Go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). This command expresses the heart of the Father—to reconcile lost people to Himself.

Captured by Jesus' love for us, we desire other to enjoy the same genuine Great Commission Call relationship with Christ.

Our driving passion—why we exist—is to know Christ and complete His Commission. This compels us to reach our own communities with the good news of Jesus.

For the Alliance family it doesn't stop in our own cities. With ministries in seventy-five countries, reaching the lost is a cause for which we are willing to go, quite literally, to the ends of the earth.

Our Calling

Jesus instructed His followers to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind...and to Love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39).

Love is not optional for Christians. We who have experienced the great love of the Father must share His love with others. A.B. Simpson

Following the lead of our founder, Dr. A. B. Simpson, the C&MA is caring for the refugee, the sick, and the lost through relief work, clinics, schools, and other acts of compassion. This often gives us opportunity to share the message of Christ's saving love. We make it a priority to establish churches so that those who come to Christ will have the support and discipleship of a church family.

Love in action—word matched by deed—this is The Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Our Family

If you were to visit ten Christian and Missionary Allisance churches across the country and/or around the world, you would find each one refreshingly distinct. Diverse ethnicities and worship styles characterize our movement. In a unique way our diversity serves to unite the Alliance family as we choose to focus on Christ and matters of eternal significance. Diverse & United

We agree on the basic tenets in God's Word, preferring not to split hairs over endlessly debatable issues. We celebrate our multifaceted movement as an expression of God's wonderfully creative nature.
