The Christian and Missionary Alliance (The Alliance, the C&MA) was birthed in 1887 from a vision of Pastor A. B. Simpson in New York City, who became heartbroken over the plight of the homeless, the immigrant, and the marginalized. Today, we share his passion to offer tangible help and lasting hope to the worlds neediest people.

We believe that from the beginning of time, God set in motion a loving plan for humanity that is carried out in each of us through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. We believe the best way to see this plan fulfilled is by extending His love to those who have yet to experience it.

Through over 1,900 churches in the United States and nearly 700 workers in 70 countries, we pay forward the love of Jesus to suffering and overlooked people in our communities and throughout the world through a wide variety of developmental and compassionate care projects and initiatives.

Because the C&MA is a Christ-centered global movement, we place a high value on employing a diverse, multicultural workforce to accomplish His Great Commission. Accordingly, we will be proactive throughout our hiring process to embrace and cultivate racial and ethnic diversity among our U.S. National Office staff.
