Church Leadership

Church Leadership Academy
The Church Leadership Academy (CLA) assists in the development of local-church leaders through training that focuses on Great Commission, disciple-making ministry.
Our courses encourage the development of leaders who give evidence that they are called to plant and grow healthy Great Commission churches. Our ministerial path provides training for those who are called to the ministry in mid-career, and for those whose first language is not English.

Internet Accountability
With the increasing number of C&MA leaders, pastors, and missionaries facing the allure of Internet pornography, we believe it is vital and strategic that we be “wise as serpents” in protecting Alliance people. Covenant Eyes is a way to accomplish this.
How it works is simple. A person's Internet usage is tracked and a report of that usage is sent to two accountability partners designated by that user.
The leaders of Covenant Eyes have agreed to greatly reduced prices for C&MA subscribers. You can access this service by going to www.covenanteyes.com and clicking on “Sign up now!” Then follow the instructions. You will come to a place where you can enter one of the promotional codes found in the eCommunity forums giving you the reduced price. Please note that by following the covenant eyes link, you will be leaving cmalliance.org website.

Pray.
The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.
Give.
You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.
Serve.
Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
