WHO WE ARE
About the Central Pacific District
MISSION & VISION
“We exist to build Christ’s Kingdom in the CPD and the World.
We will accomplish this by:
resourcing, equipping, multiplying, and sending believers, leaders, and churches with the CMA.”
IN THIS PROFOUND CALLING
Your job is to support, minister to and encourage your congregation. Our job is to support, minister to and encourage you! …and we do this together as an Acts 1:8 family.
Our Vision is twofold: to assist and support our churches and leaders to fulfill their own vision while working together to fulfill our common Matthew 28 vision as C&MA churches for both local and global impact.
Our Mission is to facilitate belonging, engagement, and teamwork among our churches and their leaders to create true synergy, because we can do more for the cause of Christ together than we can alone.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
All over the world, the Alliance family is celebrating Jesus. He is the one true hope for humanity in this life and for all eternity.
Jesus – Our Savior
The cross reminds us of His sacrificial death and resurrection as atonement for the sins of humankind (Acts 4:12).
Jesus – Our Sanctifier
The laver represents the daily cleansing from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Jesus – Our Healer
The pitcher represents oil to anoint the sick for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing (James 5:15).
Jesus – Our Coming King
The crown represents our blessed hope in Christ’s imminent return (Acts 1:11).
The four parts of the C&MA logo represent the four keys of our christ-centered statement of faith.
