Crown is offering a new opportunity to work in a creative access country with C &MA international workers who are involved with relationship building through an English Language Center. Prayer and helping with events at the center will be the main focus.

Students are invited to go to Jaraboccoa, Dominican Republic to serve with Student’s International.

From the very beginning in 1916, Crown College has been aligned with the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination. While students attending Crown come from many different church denominations, Crown is one of four Christian and Missionary Alliance colleges in the United States. Today, more than five million Christians, from 81 different countries, call themselves “Alliance.”

The Alliance is a light-bearing, Jesus-centered missions and church-planting movement with deeper life at its heart.Instead of being a denomination intent on building its own kingdom, the Alliance are a people who take action out of a love for Jesus Christ that compels them to fulfill His last command on earth: The Great Commission.
