Oswego Alliance Church is a member of the alliance, Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) denomination.
The Alliance (C&MA) began in 1887 through the work of Dr. Albert Benjamin Simpson. Initially intended as a missionary resource for mainline denominations, today the C&MA includes over two million people in 75 countries.
Mission Statement of the C&MA
We desire to know Jesus Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King and to complete His Great Commission. The Alliance will fulfill His Commission through:
- Evangelizing and discipling persons throughout the United States,
- Incorporating them into Christ-centered, community-focused congregations, and
- Mobilizing them for active involvement in a global effort designed to plant Great Commission churches among unengaged, unreached and responsive peoples worldwide.
The Four-Fold Gospel
The cross, laver, pitcher and crown are the four symbols that join to illustrate the central theme in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, that is: Jesus Christ our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King. The globe represents our mission in the world.
