The Christian & Missionary Alliance

Grace Fellowship is part of an international family of churches called the Christian & Missionary Alliance. While C&MA churches embrace many different styles of ministry, what you'll find in any C&MA church is a genuine love for Jesus, a passion for missions, and a desire to work alongside other Christian groups to fulfill Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The C&MA teaches what is called "the Fourfold Gospel," which presents the sufficiency of Christ in four separate but unified parts. Each of the four parts is symbolized in the C&MA logo.

The Cross reminds us that Jesus is Our Savior.

We understand that sin has separated us from God, and we are incapable of saving ourselves from the punishment we deserve. Jesus died on the cross to take our punishment upon Himself, and those who believe in Him are forgiven and reconciled to God. Faith in Jesus and what He has done on the cross for us is the only way that people can be saved. Those who believe in Jesus will be welcomed into heaven and spend eternity with God and all who have believed. Those who do not believe will not be welcomed into heaven and will spend eternity separated from God in hell with all who have not believed.

The Cup reminds us that Jesus is Our Sanctifier.

We understand that we are incapable, in our own strength, of living in a way that pleases God and serves His purposes. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to dwell in all who believe, so that we may have power to understand, hate and overcome sin; understand, love and grow in righteousness; and effectively do our part in carrying on Jesus’ work.

The Pitcher reminds us that Jesus is Our Healer.

We understand that the healing and deliverance Jesus did during His time on earth is something He continues to do in and through the church today. We are incapable of healing ourselves, but He heals us through prayer, through doctors and through medication. When He chooses not to heal us, He gives us strength to endure sickness and injury as we look to Him for help.

The Crown reminds us that Jesus is Our Coming King.

We understand that Jesus went from earth to heaven and now lives and reigns over the universe with God the Father, until a predetermined time when He will return. Jesus will come personally and visibly to initiate the final events that will lead to His eternal reign and our eternal destinies.
