Freshwater Community Church is part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. The Alliance (or C&MA) was birthed in 1881 when A.B. Simpson organized a small group of believers devoted to experiencing Jesus in His fullness and making Him known to New York City’s marginalized dock workers. Through his deep encounters with Jesus, Simpson preached the Fourfold Gospel: Jesus as our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King.
Today, the Alliance continues to carry out its All of Jesus for All the World vision by caring for suffering and overlooked people through 2,000 U.S. churches and more than 700 international workers serving in 70 countries. Freshwater is part of the Central District, which covers eastern Ohio and all of West Virginia.
