The Christian and Missionary Alliance
in Canada
pdf version of this article
Who we are
We're people like you, seeking the best for our families, our city, our nation and the world. We want to bring glory to God by winning others for Christ and mentoring them in their new-found faith. We're Christian because we believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We're Missionary because we're committed to reaching people worldwide with the Gospel. We're an Alliance of believers from various backgrounds working together to help each other and make our world a better place to live.
 
Our Logo
Our logo is made up of four symbols:
  • The pitcher symbolizes Christ our Healer. It contains oil to anoint the sick for healing.
  • The cross typifies Jesus Christ, our Saviour. He died on a cross for our sins and only through him can we be made right with God.
  • The crown stands for Christ our Coming King. He will personally come back to this earth again and reign forever.
  • The laver illustrates Christ as our Sanctifier. The laver was like a big basin used in God's temple in the earliest years. It represents the daily cleansing from sin by the Holy Spirit's power.

In a nutshell

  • Within the Alliance worldwide there are more than four million members and adherents, participating in over 14,000 churches in 81 countries.
  • Every two minutes someone comes to faith in Jesus through Alliance ministries.
  • As of Dec. 2007, there were 57 Canadian Alliance international workers in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia; 35 in Latin America; 40 in Africa; 83 in Asia; and 11 serving in Quebec or working with new Canadians.
  • More than 118,000 members worship in 424 Alliance churches across Canada.

Carrying out our mission

Pastors, administrators and lay delegates from local churches meet every two years for General Assembly, the highest legislative body of the Alliance in Canada. Policies approved by General Assembly are administered by a Board of Directors and put into practice by the National Ministry Centre staff and district offices. The national leadership consists of the President and three Vice-presidents responsible for Global Ministries, Strategic Interface as well as Finance and Operations.
 

Here at home

Canada is divided into six districts. Each one has a District Superintendent and staff who provide resources and guidance for local churches in areas of church growth, leadership training, Christian education, missionary conferences, multicultural ministries, pastoral care and church planting. Our work involves multicultural ministries, church education, ministries to men and women, chaplaincy and parish nursing. Each church is distinct, with diverse ethnicities and worship styles.
