Our Mission

To join God in his mission of reconciling God and man.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19

Our vision


To give Christ’s living water to the Western Slope.


Our Values

Restore

To be made whole through Christ. Jesus is the source of our restoration. He is the one who brings us to the right place (relationship with Him) and the right condition (freedom). We believe that God wants to restore each one of us and that he uses us in his restorative process in the lives of our neighbors.

Belong

To be securely loved by God and his people.  Jesus desires a relationship with people including the most unnoticed people in our culture. He came to serve us and he wants us to love others like he does. This requires believers to move from being a “getter” to a “giver.”

Abide

To be so connected to Jesus, that I start to become like him.  Christ’s invitation to his followers is to be so close to Jesus that we draw our very life from him. As his people do this, it moves us from being focused on ourselves to being focused on Christ and other people.

MULTIPLY

To be a disciple who makes disciples. The exponential expansion of God’s kingdom is a theme woven throughout Scripture. The expansion of the kingdom of God is an expansion of his glory as individual disciples make disciples, groups multiply and church are planted. We are called to be multipliers both locally and around the world.

What we believe

As part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance we affirm the following doctrinal statement.


  1. There is one God (Deut. 6:4), Creator of all things (Rev. 4:11), who is infinitely perfect (Matt. 5:48), existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).
  2. Jesus Christ is the true God and true man (Phil. 2:6-11). He was sent by the Father (John 20:21), conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin, Mary (Luke 1:34-38). He died on the cross, the Just for the unjust (1 Pet. 3:18), as a substitutionary sacrifice (Heb. 2:9), and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood (Rom. 5:9). He rose from the dead according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest (Heb. 8:1). He will come again to establish His Kingdom of righteousness and peace (Isa. 9:6-7).
  3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person (John 14:16-18), sent to indwell, guide, teach, gift, empower, and bear His fruit in every believer (John 16:13; 1 Cor. 12:4, 11; Acts 1:8; Gal. 5:22-23). He convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:7-11).
  4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for our salvation. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice (2 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Tim. 3:15-17).
  5. Man and woman, created in the image and likeness of God (Gen. 1:27), fell through disobedience, incurring both physical and spiritual death (Rom. 6:23). Therefore, everyone is born with a sinful nature (Rom. 5:12), is separated from the life of God (Eph. 4:18), and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 3:25).
  6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all people (1 John 2:2). Those who repent and believe in Him are justified by grace through faith (Rom. 3:21-24), born again of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:4-7), delivered from the dominion of darkness, transferred into the Kingdom of God’s Son (Col. 1:13), granted the gift of eternal life, and adopted as the children of God (Rom. 8:14-16; John 1:12).
  7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly,1being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service.2 This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.3 (11 Thessalonians 5:23, 2Acts 1:8, 3Romans 6:1–14)
  8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the whole person (Isa. 53:4-5; Matt. 8:16-17). Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures (James 5:13-16) as privileges for the Church in this present age (Acts 4:30).
  9. The Church consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again by the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of His Body (Eph. 1:22-23, Col. 1:18), the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world making disciples of all peoples (Matt.24:14, 28:19-20). The local church is a body of believers in Christ (Eph. 5:30) who are called to love (1 Thess. 3:12) and joined together for the worship of God, edification through the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, proclamation of the gospel through word and deed (Luke 4:18-19), and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41-47).
  10. There will be a bodily resurrection of all people (Acts 24:15). Our Lord Jesus Christ will judge with perfect justice (Acts 17:31, John 5:28-30) as the unrepentant and unbelieving are raised to the conscious anguish of eternal separation from God (Rev. 20:15, 21:8, 2 Thess. 1:9), and repentant believers are raised (John 6:40) to the unending joy of eternal life with God (Ps. 16:11, Rev. 21:1-4).
  11. The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent4 and will be personal, visible, and premillennial.5 This is the believer’s blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service.6 (4Hebrews 10:37, 5Luke 21:27, 6Titus 2:11–14)



Our Movement

The Christian and Missionary Alliance is a worldwide family of Christians mobilized to fulfill the Great Commission by living out the fullness of Jesus Christ in personal experience, building His Church, and carrying His light to the darkest parts of our neighborhoods and the nations. Formed as an "alliance" of cross-denominational people in the 1880’s, the Alliance evolved into a world evangelization movement in the early 20th century and became an evangelical missions and church-planting denomination in 1974. While pastoring a Presbyterian congregation in New York City in 1881, C&MA founder, Dr. A.B. Simpson, witnessed the physical and spiritual plight of the city’s homeless, downtrodden and infirmed, and of its disenfranchised immigrant populations. This daily exposure moved Simpson to devote his life and ministry to taking the whole gospel to the whole world. Having experienced the all-sufficiency of Christ on a deeply personal level, Simpson articulated a core theology, proclaiming Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King. This “Fourfold Gospel” remains the spiritual foundation of The Alliance, the “deeper life” engine that drives us toward the completion of the Great Commission. Today, there are more than 2,000 Alliance churches in the United States, and approximately 18,000 fellowships in 81 countries around the world, where nearly 5 million Christians call themselves “Alliance,” united by an unquenchable passion to provide access to the gospel where no access yet exists.
