The C&MA is an alliance of evangelical believers in local churches committed to fulfilling the Great Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ. The C&MA is Christian. We are committed in the historic beliefs of the Christian faith and following Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The C&MA is Missionary. We are committed to reaching lost people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Alliance Mission Statement The Mission of the C&MA is to know Jesus Christ; exalt Him as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King; and complete His Great Commission: Evangelizing and discipling persons throughout the United States, and incorporating them into Christ-centered, community-focused congregations, Mobilizing them for active involvement in a missionary effort designed to plant Great Commission churches among both unreached and responsive peoples worldwide . The C&MA Logo The cross, the pitcher, the laver and the crown are the 4 symbols which join to illustrate our central theme in the Christian and Missionary Alliance. That is: Jesus Christ is our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King. The cross represents Christ our Savior. The laver represents Christ our Sanctifier. The pitcher represents Christ our Healer. The crown represents Christ our Coming King. Historical Background of the Alliance The Alliance traces its roots to the ministry and vision of Dr. Albert B. Simpson. A Presbyterian clergyman, motivated by the spiritual needs of the metropolitan multitudes in North America as well as by those of the unevangelized peoples in other lands, Dr. Simpson launched a vibrant ministry of evangelism and Bible teaching. He was joined by people from a variety of denominational backgrounds who also desired to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. They were compelled by a sense of urgency to take this message to all nations because of Jesus' statement in Matthew 24:14, "This gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." This new "mission society" soon became a major evangelical movement. Today it is a rapidly growing denomination committed to world evangelism with over two million members in over 10,000 churches in 54 nations.
