CMA Mission Goals

Responding to the call of the Gospel, we seek to:

EMPOWER CONGREGATIONS: by nurturing, strengthening, and resourcing congregations and ministries, enabling them to be faithful stewards in their mission to proclaim the Gospel as viable and responsive church bodies in their respective neighborhoods, towns and cities.

SUPPORT A MINISTRY OF CLERGY AND LAY PERSONS: by raising up and sustaining capable leaders of vision and integrity to serve the local and global Church, including preparation for ordained ministry.

SUSTAIN A COLLECTIVE VOICE FOR SOCIAL WITNESS: by encouraging the study, proclamation, and living of justice and peace in the Church and in the world.
