THE CHRISTIAN AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE

We are an Alliance of evangelical believers, joined together in local churches and dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission given by Jesus Christ. We maintain a “big tent” stance in reference to many doctrinal matters, encouraging believers of diverse backgrounds and theological traditions to unite in an alliance to know and exalt Jesus Christ and to complete His Commission. That Commission clearly instructs 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” (Matthew 28:19,20,NIV).

What is our Vision for the Future?

Under the banner, “Completing Christ’s Commission,” and the leadership of Dr. Gary M. Benedict, president, The Alliance is streamlining its ministries to regain a movement spirit in the framework of a denomination, refocusing resources on unreached people groups overseas and underevangelized communities in the United States.

Our Mission:
The C&MA exists to know Jesus Christ, exalt Him as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King; and complete His Great Commission.
It is the conviction of Alliance people that we will be in a better position to achieve our mission if we become a denomination that has the qualities of a movement.

Our Vision:
The Christian and Missionary Alliance will be a movement of Great Commission Christians who are glorifying God by building Christ’s Church worldwide.
To achieve this vision, a strategy has been developed that consists of six components. The resources of the C&MA are focused on these strategic initiatives:

1. Develop Healthy Local Churches
2. Identify Workers for the Harvest
3. Train Called Workers
4. Multiply Churches in the United States
5. Multiply Churches Worldwide
6. Establish a Strong Support Base
