Partnerships
From its founding, the Alliance has sought to move beyond models of mission rooted in conquest, colonialism, and charity. We reject the assumption that faithful witness begins with bringing answers or fixing others. Instead, we pursue a decolonizing approach to partnership—one rooted in mutuality, listening, and shared leadership. We believe we are transformed not by bringing God to others, but by discovering the Spirit already at work among one another.
Partnership Core Values
Partner’s Expertise
We recognize our partner’s expertise in their context, trusting and following their lead in building capacity to create justice.
Mutuality
We learn alongside communities who have been marginalized recognizing the wisdom that arises in struggles for liberation.
Accompaniment
We minister alongside our partners to grow a vibrant church and a deeper relationship with God.
Solidarity
We believe that work for justice draws us closer to one another and deeper into the love of God. The Spirit moves through our work with one another in this journey. We celebrate all who are called to ministry, empowered by the One who loves us to join hearts and hands.
Respect
We value spirituality and wisdom across lines of culture and faith, treasuring friendship and understanding with accountability.
