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.

Church Family Announcements
Communion – Together, we celebrate all that the finished work
of Jesus – His death & resurrection - has provided for us. (Gluten and dairy free crackers are used.)
Benevolent Offering - Every Sunday that we celebrate Communion, a
Benevolent Offering is received at the sanctuary doors following the Worship Service. Benevolent offerings are used to give help, bless or encourage those in our church family, those who come to MAC asking for help and for completing Caring and Sharing hampers with perishable items.
