The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary<br />

Alliance<br />

The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance was<br />

formed in 1897 by the merger <strong>of</strong> two organizations<br />

begun in 1887 by Dr. Albert B. Simpson, The<br />

Christian Alliance <strong>and</strong> the Evangelical Missionary<br />

Alliance. The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance is<br />

an evangelical church that stresses the sufficiency<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, <strong>and</strong> Coming<br />

King <strong>and</strong> has earned a worldwide reputation for its<br />

missionary accomplishments. The <strong>Canadian</strong> districts<br />

became autonomous in 1981 <strong>and</strong> formed<br />

The Christian <strong>and</strong> Missionary Alliance in Canada.<br />
