Intersested in being invloved, here are just a few possible ways for that to become a reality.

Alliance Women

We are a U.S. ministry partner of The Christian and Missionary Alliance
that is committed to developing vibrant women's ministries in
districts and local churches. We pursue the following objectives:

Fellowship: To encourage a sense of community among women through the building of healthy relationships/friendships by the transforming power of Christ.
Discipleship: To encourage the study of God's Word and to inspire women to follow Christ through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Outreach: To equip women to share God's love and the message of the Gospel with family, friends and neighbors.
Missions: To involve women in the world-wide ministries of the C&MA through intercession, short term missions, the support of overseas workers and their families, and an annual project that services specified needs in various countries.
Prayer: To encourage corporate and individual worship and intercession for local, national, and worldwide ministries.

The Great Commission Fund

Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)

¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

What is the GCF? Unlike other organizations, The Christian and Missionary Alliance does not require its missionaries to raise their own support. Instead, missionaries and their ministries are financed through what we call The Great Commission Fund (GCF). C&MA church members and friends give to this fund regularly.

What are the advantages of the GCF?
• It supports the most-significant cause in history: reaching lost people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• It places missionaries in their countries of service quickly.
• It frees up missionaries to concentrate on their ministries instead of on raising funds.
• It develops a stronger team spirit among missionaries on the field.
• It insures that well-qualified missionaries (not just good fundraisers) are sent to the mission field.

What are the effects of the GCF?
Because of the GCF . . .
• Every two minutes, someone prays to receive Christ through the worldwide outreach of Alliance ministries.
• Every hour, three patients, many of them ravaged by AIDS, receive physical and spiritual care through C&MA medical work.
• Every day via 43 radio broadcasts, people who have had no gospel witness hear the good news.
• Every week, nearly 3,000 new believers are baptized.
• Every month, 253 churches and church groups join the worldwide Alliance family.
• Every year, 9,635 students are trained and equipped for ministry through 125 overseas Alliance theological schools.

How can you give to the GCF?
Many individuals give to the GCF by a Faith Promise made through their local churches. Some people give one-time gifts. Other people give regularly through our secure online giving site. And still others give through their estate, utilizing the services of The Orchard Foundation.

Alliance Men

C&MA MEN’S MINISTRY
"Be strong, show yourself a man and observe all the Lord your God requires." 1 Kings 2:2-3

Our mission is to:

Walk humbly with God (Isaiah 6:1-9)
Shepherd our families responsibly (Eph 5:24-33; 6:4)
Relate to one another honestly (Rom 12:17; Phil 4:8)
Share the Gospel passionately (Matt 28:18-20)

Our vision is to become a movement of men growing in intimacy with God and living a Great Commission lifestyle.

We are Men who seek to:

Live under the Lordship of Jesus Christ (Eph 2:21-22).
Understand that the battle is the Lord’s and is to be fought in the spiritual realm and in the fullness of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:7-8; Eph 6:10-13).
Work together to hasten the return of our Lord through ministry and service to our churches, workplaces, communities, districts, nation and the world (Matt 24:14; 1 Cor 12:14-26).
