WE DEVELOP KINGDOM WORKERS FOR INCREASING GOSPEL IMPACT.
Why do we exist?
The Alliance is a Christ-centered, Acts 1:8 family passionate about bringing the good news of Jesus to our neighborhoods and world. As the Eastern PA District of the Alliance, we fulfill this mission by developing Kingdom workers for increasing Gospel impact.
What do we mean by Gospel impact?
Through the person and power of Jesus, we are transformed in a way that flows to multiplication. The Gospel takes root in us, continuously changes us deeply, and grows to produce fruit that multiplies into the lives of others.
Where does multiplication take place?
We believe it happens centrally in churches. Churches are disciple-making communities of people being transformed by Jesus. These communities must be Gospel rooted, on faith-filled mission, and have courageous leadership.
Gospel transformation to multiplication through disciple-making communities is what we would describe as the essentials of church ministry. For more on this, listen to our Essentials podcast.
What does multiplication look like?
We will see regional networks of churches collaborating to raise up workers, plant churches, and impact regions. By owning the lostness of their region, each network would work toward every person having the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.

What role does our district have in multiplication?
The district is an initiating effort to see the church fulfill its mission to be disciple-making communities that multiply. To that end, we work together to equip workers, engage churches, and empower regional networks. These three areas of work are enhanced by our strategic planning, communications, and operations.
