As with any organization, it is our intention to allow you to understand what we believe, why we believe it, and how it impacts what we do. Here is a brief overview of our primary beliefs. Further information can be found by following the links to pages specific to each item.
Statement of Faith:
The statement of faith of the Christian and Missionary Alliance contains 11 points. It defines the primary Biblical doctrines that we hold to and gives scriptural support to each item. It can be stated that we are a Bible believing church that depends on Jesus Christ for our salvation.
Salvation:
We believe that the Bible is true when it states that, "we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 ). We also believe that, "the wages of sin is death" and we are all bound for eternal separation from God in a literal Hell (Romans 6:23 ). But despite this plight "God so loved the world (you and me) that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (with God in a literal Heaven)" (John 3:16 ).

The C&MA Logo:
Our logo is more than just a picture to look at. It defines for us the Four-fold Gospel as given to our founder, A. B. Simpson, and reminds us of the work of Jesus Christ in our lives. We understand that Jesus is our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King, and that he has commanded us to complete the Great Commission as outlined in scripture.
At Edgewood Alliance Church, Pastor Gary Russell has created a church environment that seeks to show the love of Jesus Christ to all who attend. We are a family oriented ministry designed to meet the needs of regular attendees as well as those of our community visitors. This is a group of people who blend a mix of relevant contemporary styling with enough tradition to bring about fresh and useful ministries and worship.
We center our worship on our Sunday Morning Service and allow everyone to have a place to grow and serve through our Holistic Small Group Ministry. Whether you are a new born or 100 years young, God's Love is always here for you. We hope you will visit with us soon.
