Our Purpose – The purpose of Morden Alliance Church is to glorify
God and extend God’s blessing.
Our Vision – Connecting With People, Connecting With God.
Our Affiliation – MAC is part of The Christian and Missionary
Alliance (C&MA) family of churches in Canada and around the world. Prayer of the Canadian Alliance Church family: “O God, with all our hearts, we long for You. Come, transform us to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused people, multiplying disciples everywhere.” Our Beliefs – The Alliance believes in the historic doctrines of the
Christian faith, including God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the inerrancy of the Bible, and that the only way to God is through Jesus. A Statement of Faith is available at the Info Booth.
Our Leadership – The Board of Elders is elected by MAC members
to work with the pastors in giving direction and oversight to everything the church does.
