Our Denomination: The Christian and Missionary Alliance
What began in 1887 as a deeper life and International Workers movement to mobilize churches, has become the Christian and Missionary Alliance [C&MA], an evangelical denomination with a major emphasis on world evangelization. It maintains a “big tent” stance in reference to many doctrinal matters, encouraging believers of diverse backgrounds and theological traditions to unite in an alliance to know and exalt Jesus Christ and to complete His Great Commission.

More than 1,100 C&MA International Workers serve in 49 nations and Alliance churches are found in 66 countries and territories. With emphasis on establishing churches among unreached people groups and responsive populations worldwide, the C&MA is involved also in many types of specialized missions such as communications, medical work, translation, and relief and development aid.

Menomonie Alliance Strategic Partnership
The Menomonie Alliance Church is in the process of establishing a strategic partnership with the Mongolia International Ministry of the C&MA. The purpose of the partnership is to increase awareness of the C&MA's work in sharing the gospel with unreached people groups and to contribute resources to further the work of the missionaries in Mongolia. Some of the components of the strategic partnership might include:

Menomonie Alliance Missions
Like the denomination we're a part of, Menomonie Alliance Church has an emphasis on world evangelization. Several members serve as career missionaries and dozens from our fellowship have participated in short-term International Ministries projects across the globe. Opportunities abound for the International Ministries-minded.

How You Can be Involved

International Ministries Team members keep us informed about International Ministries work in the world. They plan the annual International Ministries Conference that highlights the work of the C&MA. The group helps coordinate International Ministries activity in the church. Interested in joining or helping out? Contact a member of the International Ministries Committee:

Alliance Women also have a special focus on International Ministries. Projects they coordinate include collecting used eyeglasses and canceled stamps, and packing "care packages" to encourage International Worker friends around the world.

Short Term International Ministries opportunities are available. Whether through the C&MA denomination or through other International Ministries agencies, members from young to old have served in a variety of ministries throughout the world. Short-term International Ministries scholarships are available. Contact a member of the International Ministries Committee if you're interested in going yourself.

Mixers are held the second Sunday of each month. Join us as we hear from career and short-term missionaries, and other speakers and learn about what is going on in the world of International Ministries.

International Ministries Giving Opportunities

Great Commission Fund: Unlike other organizations, the C&MA does not require its International Workers to raise their own support. Instead, they and their ministries are financed through what we call The Great Commission Fund. C&MA churches and individuals give to this fund regularly. Pledges are received annually during our International Ministries Conference, or you can give to the fund by designating "GCF" on your offering envelope. Click this link to learn more about the Great Commission Fund.

CAMA Services: “CAMA” stands for Compassion and Mercy Associates. “Services” refers to a variety of relief and development ministries that flesh out the good news of God’s love for people — body and soul. Combined, the two words refer to compassionate servants ministering to people in crisis situations through word and deed. You can give to CAMA's work by designating "CAMA" on your offering envelope. Click this link to learn more about CAMA.

March Offerings: Held every time a "fifth" Sunday appears on the calendar, March Offerings support designated International Ministries projects. In the fashion of our African brothers and sisters, we "march" forward during the worship services to give spare change we've collected. Pick up a cup to collect your spare change at the International Ministries bulletin board in the foyer, and watch the bulletin, church newsletter or your mailbox for information about our next designated project.
