Purpose of the Christian and Missionary Alliance

The purpose of the Christian and Missionary Alliance is all about Jesus and its mission is to fulfill his final request with his followers. C&MA believes in action. Its motto is "Living the Call Together". It is committed to building up fully devoted followers of Christ to come together and build healthy churches, which according to C&MA are to be "unified as the Body of Christ through the indwelling."

The Statement of Faith established by C&MA in 1965 defines that it as an evangelical Protestant Denomination. The summary of the statement faith is that only one God exists as a Trinity, and that Jesus Christ is both God and man and regards that Jesus' died as a substitute for others and was resurrected, ascended to heaven and will return to His Kingdom. The statement of faith goes on to assert that the Holy Spirit exists as an inner activating spirit and force, teaches and empowers believers.

C&MA believes that God's mission can be completed through his Church. To this end, the Alliance focuses its resources and efforts to the development of local churches, in USA and the world over. At the bottom rung are the fully devoted followers of the church who build churches for serving people as ministry centers to find and bring back the "lost" people.

C&MA believes that the primary mission of Jesus was, in His own words, "to seek and to save what was lost" - (Luke 19:10). Being "lost" means being without Christ and being in a place of torment, the place the Bible calls hell.

C&MA believes that "lost" people matter to God and He wants them to be found. The passion to reach out to people that was instilled within Rev. A. B. Simpson, the founder of C&MA, still lives within the Alliance. It strives to reach out to people with no knowledge of Jesus Christ and introduce them to him.
