The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) is an Evangelical Protestant denomination within Christianity. Founded by Rev. Albert Benjamin Simpson in 1887, the Christian & Missionary Alliance did not start off as a denomination, but rather began as two distinct parachurch organizations: The Christian Alliance which focused on the pursuit and promotion of the Higher Christian life and The Evangelical Missionary Alliance, which focused on mobilizing "consecrated" Christians in the work of foreign missionary efforts. These two groups amalgamated in 1897 to form The Christian and Missionary Alliance. It was only much later during the mid twentieth century that an official denomination was formed.As of 2006, there are 2,010 C&MA churches and approximately 417,000 members in the United States.

  • La Alianza Cristiana y Misionera (ACyM) es una alianza de cristianos evangélicos, unidos en iglesias locales, dedicados a cumplir la "Gran Comisión" entregada por Jesucristo a sus seguidores: Por tanto, id y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, enseñándoles todas las cosas que os he mandado a ustedes. . Fue fundada por el pastor presbiteriano de origen canadiense Albert Benjamin Simpson en 1887, evidentemente no como una denominación, sino que para organizar la movilización de cristianos en general al trabajo misionero en el extranjero . No fue sino hasta mediados del Siglo XX cuando se convirtió oficialmente en una denominación. En los Estados Unidos de América existen alrededor de 2. 000 iglesias aliancistas, con más de 420. 000 miembros activos. En Canadá, hay unas 440 iglesias, con más de 120. 000 miembros. En América Latina existen alredor de 1. 560 iglesias y más de 520. 000 miembros activos. En el mundo entero la alianza suma más de 12 millones de miembros, y está presente en más de 90 países. Antaño, las oficinas principales de la ACyM estuvieron en Nyack, donde Simpson fundó el Instituto de Entrenamiento Misionero . Las oficinas centrales de la ACyM se trasladaron posteriormente a Colorado Springs . El Dr. Gary Benedict es el presidente electo de la ACyM para el año 2007. (es)
