What Is the Christian and Missionary Alliance?

The Christian and Missionary Alliance is an alliance of evangelical believers joined together in local churches. We are "Christian" because we believe and follow Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We are "Missionary" because we are committed to reaching lost people with the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Since our beginning in 1887 we have grown to over 2,000 churches in the US and Canada with ministries in 56 countries around the world. We hold to the inerrancy of Scripture and believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King.

The Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination is committed to evangelism, discipleship, and church planting among unreached and responsive peoples worldwide. We train and send into service only those who are sound in faith, filled with the Spirit of God, and have a passion for reaching those without Christ. The Alliance is committed to good stewardship. In the use of funds we practice economy consistant with efficiency.

The Christian and Missionary Alliance message is that Jesus Christ is adequate to meet the needs of the whole individual. He is exalted as:

• the living Word of God
• the supreme Revelation of divine love
• the sacrificial Lamb of God who alone provides salvation for humankind
• the sufficient One for every need of body and soul; the only hope for a world of lost people
• the Coming King
