Are there any Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA) people participating on CFcom? I've suggested to the moderators that in the forum, 'Christian Communities' that the C&MA be added.
It's a strong world-wide missionary denomination. I'm ordained with the C&MA Australia and have identified myself as Baptist as many of the C&MA beliefs parallel Baptists.
Wikipedia's entry on this denomination states:
The Alliance says it is about 6 million strong worldwide. Even here in Australia, there are more ethnic churches (Chinese, Vietnamese) than Caucasian churches.
The 22nd Canadian Prime Minister who served from 2006-2015, Stephen Harper, attends a C&MA church in Ottawa, Ont.
I'm interested in knowing if there are some already on CFcom who are missionary minded and identify as C&MA.

The Christian and Missionary Alliance has experienced steady and significant growth since its inception. In 1925, there were just 25,000 members in 392 churches.[15] Membership reached 50,000 members in 1950 and by 1976 had reached 150,000.[15] In 2006, there were 417,008 members in 2,010 congregations.[15] While membership is concentrated in the American Midwest and Northwest, the denomination is well represented throughout the United States.[16] Pennsylvania has the largest number of both members and congregations.[16] As of January 1, 2011, there was recorded more than 2,000 U.S. churches with a combined membership of more than 430,000 regularly gather to celebrate Jesus in multiple languages, according to the C&MA website.
