About Missoula Alliance
Missoula Alliance Church (MAC) is committed to serving the community in meaningful, need-meeting ways with the hope that more and more would come to experience the life-changing grace and truth of Jesus.
Missoula Community
Missoula Alliance Church has been doing ministry in Missoula since 1957. We have seen generations of people come to know Jesus and experience life change. Through different buildings, addition of staff, and changes in Missoula culture, Missoula Alliance Church has always been a place to embrace our community to show them the love of Jesus.
MAC prioritizes equipping people in the church to be the church. If we aren’t caring well for each other, we have no reason to think we can take care of our city and love people as God calls us to.
Mission and Vision
We are about embracing and extending the life-changing grace and truth of Jesus.
Jesus said, “I will build my church.” We believe this happens in two ways: Committing to growing as people by embracing Jesus’ grace for ourselves, and then seeing new people added to God’s family as we extend Jesus’ grace to others.
Being a part of MAC means growing in grace alongside others who also need grace, taking one step after another toward Christ.
Beliefs and Values
Missoula Alliance Church is a part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The C&MA supports 700 international workers in 58 nations and partners with churches in 70 countries and territories. MAC’s beliefs align with the mission and vision of the C&MA and their statement of faith. To read more about the C&MA’s scripturally grounded views on a number of other relevant topics (such as sexuality and abortion), visit the C&MA’s statements and perspectives page. For a better understanding of MAC’s leadership structure as it relates to the C&MA’s governing documents, please read our church By Laws.
