Local & Global Connections

All of Jesus for  All the World

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

Our Mission–The Great Commission - Jesus’ last words before His glorious ascension into heaven were given as a commission to His disciples. This Great Commission remains a command—a mandate—to every believer in Jesus Christ. His Great Commission is the call of The Christian and Missionary Alliance.  For over 130 yeas, The Alliance has passionately worked towards completing Jesus' commission. We do the job together. The Alliance church family partners and stands with international workers in taking the whole gospel to the whole world.

We are excited for our missions emphasis conference coming up this weekend. Denise and Jim Manchester, from Envision Cleveland will be with us to share about missions and their work with Envision in Cleveland, OH. You are encouraged to participate in events scheduled Sunday and Monday, March 30 & 31. If you have questions, reach out to Alec Dorcheus, Pastor Ron or any member of the missions mobilization team.

Our Global Connection Partners

Envision Cleveland

Cleveland was once one of the great industrial steel towns of the mid-west, but during the last 5 decades Cleveland has experienced devastating change.  The population has decreased by over 50%, the educational system has fallen in to disrepair, and the prevailing attitude has been bleak.  But it is a new day, and Cleveland has been experiencing somewhat of a renaissance in its culture, direction, and potential. There is a growing conviction that the Lord is moving in powerful ways in the region.  Doors of kingdom opportunity are opening in the midst of a tough urban environment, a rapidly developing refugee population, and through the collaborative efforts of kingdom minded churches and organizations. Belgrade Alliance Church & Envision Cleveland are continuing to develop a unique partnership through prayer, financial support, short-term teams and internship opportunities.
