OUR MISSION
Exemplifying the Unity
of the Faith
Our kingdom mission is to exemplify “UNITY IN THE FAITH.” By embracing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and adhering to its true meaning, we are called to serve the body of Christ. However, it is crucial to remember that our ultimate goal is to return to heaven and be united with our master. Therefore, until that day arrives, we are entrusted with the responsibility of joining in fellowship in the bond of love.
What We Believe
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, unalterable word of God, written by holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
God
We believe in one God who is infinite in power, Holy by nature, attributes, and purposes, omniscient and omnipresent.
The Holy Trinity
We believe that He was revealed to us as Father in creation, Son in redemption, and the Holy Spirit in his comforting grace that never leaves those who trust him.
Jesus Christ
We believe that in Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, for it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwells.
The Virgin Birth
We believe in the virgin birth, that was both human and divine, God manifested in the flesh.
Death, Burial & Resurrection
We believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Christ's Ascension
We believe that He ascended on high and has sent His Spirit, the Holy Ghost, which was poured out at Jerusalem and is still filling the hearts of those who diligently seek Him today.
Water Baptism
We believe in the baptism and water immersion, and the name of the father, son, and Holy Ghost, for the remission of sin, and baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the spirit gives utterance. This constitutes the new birth.
Holiness
We believe in a holy, sanctified life, divine healing, communion, and foot-washing, and the rapture of the Saints when Jesus returns in a cloud of glory to take His bride with Him.
Our Chief Aim
Our chief aim is to glorify our savior, who is Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from the iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
FROM THE PEN OF THE PRESIDING PRELATE
Apostle Jonathan A. McClaren, D.Min
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is with great honor, humility, and apostolic responsibility that I address you as the Presiding Prelate & Apostle of the Ark City Alliance. In a time where the Body of Christ is being called to greater clarity, consecration, and Kingdom alignment, we stand committed to being a prophetic and apostolic voice—strengthening leaders, fortifying ministries, and advancing the agenda of Heaven in the earth.
The Ark City Alliance was established with divine intentionality to serve as a covering, a resource, and a catalyst for pastors, churches, and leaders across regions and nations. We are not merely an organization, but a movement—one that is rooted in sound doctrine, driven by spiritual excellence, and sustained by authentic relationship. Our mandate is to equip leaders with the tools necessary to build effectively, lead courageously, and serve faithfully in their respective assignments.
As we move forward, we are placing a renewed emphasis on unity, accountability, and spiritual development. It is imperative that in this hour, leaders are not isolated but interconnected—sharpening one another, standing together in truth, and advancing with a shared Kingdom vision. Through our gatherings, convocations, leadership initiatives, and strategic impartation, we are cultivating an environment where growth is intentional and purpose is fulfilled.
I charge every leader connected to this Alliance to remain steadfast, disciplined, and committed to the call of God upon your life. Let us continue to build with integrity, lead with compassion, and pursue God with unwavering passion. The work before us is great, but so is the grace upon us.
Together, we will continue to stand as a citadel—strong, unmovable, and impactful—raising leaders who will influence generations and expand the reach of the Kingdom of God.
