THE HEART OF WHO WE ARE
Our DNA
Built on the fourfold Gospel of the Christian & Missionary Alliance — Jesus as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King — this is the mission that runs through everything we do.

Our DNA is not a program or a strategy. It is the Gospel itself — expressed through the four truths that the Alliance has held for over a century. These four declarations about Jesus define what we preach, how we pray, the way we serve, and the urgency with which we live. They are the heartbeat of Amour Du Christ Church.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

Hebrews 13:8

JESUS, THE SAVIOR

The Cross Changes Everything

Salvation is the foundation. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God offers forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life to every person who believes. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. We preach this truth with urgency and with love — because the Gospel is the power of God for salvation.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

JOHN 3:16

JESUS, THE SAVIOR

Total Restoration

Jesus heals — body, mind, soul, and spirit. In His earthly ministry, He touched lepers, gave sight to the blind, and freed the oppressed. He is the same today. We pray boldly for healing, trusting in His sovereign compassion, and we care for one another because that is what He has shown us to do.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."

1 PETER 2:24

One Jesus. Four Truths.
One Mission.

THE C&MA FOURFOLD GOSPEL

The four foundational truths of the C&MA that anchor our church in the fullness of who Christ is.

JESUS, THE SANCTIFIER

Made Holy by the Holy Spirit

Salvation is the beginning, not the end. Jesus calls believers into a deeper life — one marked by holiness, surrender, and the filling of the Holy Spirit. He transforms our desires, our habits, and our character from the inside out. We are set apart not by our effort, but by His power working within us.

"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

JOHN 14:26

JESUS, THE SANCTIFIER

He will return in Glory

We live with eternal purpose because Jesus is coming again. His return gives urgency to our mission, hope in our trials, and perspective in our daily lives. We are not building for this world alone — we are preparing for a Kingdom that will never end. Until He comes, we work, we pray, we preach, and we invite.

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

REVELATION 22:20

The Christian & Missionary Alliance

Amour Du Christ Church is a part of the C&MA: a global family of churches committed to the Great Commission. The Alliance was founded on the belief that the deeper life in Christ and the urgency of global mission belong together. We carry that legacy forward in Cleveland and beyond.

How Our DNA Shapes Our Church

LIVING IT OUT

These four truths are not just theology — they shape how we gather, serve, and go into the world.

BECAUSE JESUS IS SAVIOR

We Preach the Gospel Without Compromise

Every sermon, every Bible study, every outreach begins with the truth that Jesus saves. We don't water down the message or preach another Gospel. Paul said, "We preach Christ crucified" — and that is our commitment, even when it is countercultural. We call every person to faith, repentance, and a living relationship with the Savior.

BECAUSE JESUS IS SANCTIFIER

We Pursue Holiness in Community

We are not content with surface-level Christianity. Through discipleship groups, character formation, accountability, and deep teaching on maturity, we encourage every believer to submit fully to the work of the Spirit. Growing in holiness is not about perfection; it is about surrender, daily obedience, and being transformed into the image of Christ.

BECAUSE JESUS IS HEALER

We Pray Boldly and Care Deeply

We believe in the healing power of Jesus, and we practice it through prayer, through visiting the sick, through feeding families, and through caring for widows, the elderly, and vulnerable children. Compassion is not an optional ministry; it is the natural overflow of a church that knows a God who restores.

BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING

We Go with Urgency and Hope

If Jesus is coming again, then every day matters. We train believers to share their faith, we send people into their neighborhoods, workplaces, and nations, and we build a culture of invitation. The Great Commission is not reserved for pastors — it is the calling of every single believer. Until He returns, we go.
