How to Give

There are 4 ways to give
1. By check. It is very important for checks to be made to The C&MA, NOT to marketplace ministries (MM) or to us. You should put “Wegner/MM” in the memo section of your checks. They should be mailed to: IFAP, PO Box 35000, Colorado Springs, CO 80935-3500.
2. Anyone wanting to set up a monthly automatic withdrawal from their accounts can do that if you prefer. You should send a letter (signed and dated) indicating you want to set up an automatic withdrawal intended for the Wegners and give the C&MA the amount you wish to give. Please include a voided check along with the letter. (It should be mailed to the address above)The transfer will take place each month on the 25th.
3. Give online at the Christian and Missionary Alliance website www.cmalliance.org. On the homepage find “Give” and click. Now find “Missions-donate now” and click. Where it says “Support a Missionary” you should put “Wegner-MM” (It looks like they are running out of room, but they aren’t) and click continue. This may appear that the gift will go to the GCF, but as long as your name and IFAP are in the name box, it will go to us. The rest is pretty clear and will walk you through the process.
4. Credit card gifts can be called in to the  donor accounting department. Their toll free phone number is 1-866-443-8262. Their hours are M-F 8:30-4:00 mountain time

The C&MA has a 6% administration fee and the rest will be deposited for us.
You will receive a receipt for tax purposes

Doctrinal Statement

Doctrinal Statement

1.There is one God who is infinitely perfect existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

---------

2. Jesus Christ is the true God and the true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom, righteousness and peace.

---------

3. The Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to dwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment

4. The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice

---------

5. Man was originally created in the image and likeness of God: he fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The portion of the unrepentant and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment; and that of the believer, in everlasting joy and full blessedness ---------

6. Salvation has been provided through Jesus Christ for all men; and those who repent and believe in Him are born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life, and become the children of God.

7. It is the will of God that each believer should be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sanctified wholly, being separated from sin and the world and fully dedicated to the will of God, thereby receiving power for holy living and effective service. This is both a crisis and a progressive experience wrought in the life of the believer subsequent to conversion.

---------

8. Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil are taught in the Scriptures and are privileges for the Church in this present age.

---------

9. The Church consists of all those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, which has been commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, making disciples of all nations. The local church is a body of believers in Christ who are joined together for the worship of God, for edification through the Word of God, for prayer, fellowship, the proclamation of the gospel, and observance of the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

---------

10. There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment---------

11. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal, visible, and pre-millennial. This is the believer's blessed hope and is a vital truth which is an incentive to holy living and faithful service
