Purpose Statement

"United by belief in the sufficiency and relevancy of Jesus Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King, and our commitment to world evangelization, the Western Pennsylvania District exists to facilitate the development of healthy Great Commission churches."

Our Mission as The Christian and Missionary Alliance is:  To know Jesus Christ; exalt Him as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King; and to complete His Great Commission.

The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  (Matthew 28: 18-20, NIV)

• Lost people matter to God!  Our mission is to find them.
  
• Prayer is vital for Christian life and service.  Our priority is to seek first His Kingdom in prayer
  
• Everything we have belongs to God.  Our responsibility is to be wise stewards.
  
• God wants His people to become His fully devoted followers.  Our devotion expresses itself through love for God and love for others.
  
• Without faith, it is impossible to please God.  Our planning and practice take God-pleasing risks.
