The Christian & Missionary Alliance
CHRISTIAN: We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We are a redeemed people through a personal faith in Jesus Christ. We exalt Christ, not our experience. We trust in God, not in ritual. We seek to serve others, not self. We cultivate fellowship, not sectarianism. The Christian and Missionary Alliance was founded by Dr. Albert B. Simpson, a minister who was deeply moved by the spiritual needs of people in this country and around the world. He founded the first Bible Institute in America and was the author of many hymns and books. However, the emphasis of A. B. Simpson's ministry was always Jesus Christ.
MISSIONARY: More than 1,000 Alliance missionaries are serving in 47 countries around the world. These missionaries are involved in evangelism, church planting, Bible translation, theological education, medical work, and emergency relief work. Today the Alliance has over one million members in more than 8,000 churches around the world. Our middle name is "missionary."
ALLIANCE: We are known as "the Alliance" because we are an alliance of people from many different traditions who are united in our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to make Him known to the world. We are a fellowship of people who love the Lord and love each other. We gather to worship God, grow in our faith, and reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
