In fact, the 22,000 churches planted by the C&MA throughout the world have resulted in a global Alliance family of more than 6 million Christ followers and counting in this generation alone!
One of our church plants, The Table Church and Bison Christian Fellowship, is featured on C&MA website -

Helpful Hints
1. The hard-copy English and Spanish "Instructions" and "Worksheets" may be found in the upper right- hand corner of the program under "How-To-Docs" (near the "Sign Out" area).

Developing churches do not have membership; they will have only adherents, which is entered on line 4. Accredited churches have members and adherents.
