From the beginning days, the figures in the emblem of The Christian and Missionary Alliance represent the centrality of Christ in a fourfold manner. 十字架 The Cross: 象徵神的獨子耶穌基督的死和復活作成每個信徒的救恩. Stands for salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God's Son. 洗濯盤 The laver: 象徵神使我們成聖的恩典, 使我們每日靠內住聖靈的能力從罪中得潔淨. Representative of God's grace of sanctification, that daily cleansing from sin by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. 油瓶 The pitcher: 油象徵聖靈之生命和肉身的醫治. 藉著信徒對神話語的順服而領受.
