History of C & MA

The Christian and Missionary Alliance began in 1887 by Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson. The C&MA family includes over two million people in 75 countries. Worldwide we are linked to other believers who share a passion to reach those without Christ through The Alliance World Fellowship.

We have a history rich in ministry. The cornerstone of our National Office building in Colorado Springs is a visual reminder of our roots. It was first laid at the Gospel Tabernacle in New York City in 1889.

The message of The Christian and Missionary Alliance is Fourfold: Christ our Savior, Christ our Sanctifier, Christ our Healer, and Christ our Coming King.
