The Christian and Missionary Alliance is an alliance of evangelical
believers, joined together in local churches, committed to fulfilling the Great
Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19 and 20 instruct
us,
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey
everything I have commanded you" (NIV).
We are Christian because we
believe and follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We are
missionary because we are committed to reach lost people with the good
news of
Jesus Christ.
Our Mission statement reads, "The Christian and
Missionary
Alliance is committed to world missions stressing the fullness of Christ
and
preaching the gospel to the end of the earth.
Since our beginning
in 1887
the Alliance has grown to 2,100 churches in the United States and
Canada. We
have ministries in 54 countries around the world.
What do Alliance people believe?The Alliance
emphasizes the
need for genuine spiritual conversion to Christ, a spirit-filled life
and
effective service.
The doctrinal statement of The Christian and
Missionary Alliance was adopted in 1965. It has been reaffirmed in
succeeding
years and stands as an understandable statement of evangelical belief.
We teach
the centrality of Christ expressed as "Jesus Christ our Savior, Sanctifier,
Healer and Coming King. |
