Thank You Note from Steve Riley |

Dear SPA family,
I never imagined that I would have the privilege of serving among you in the South Pacific Alliance family, especially for so many years. I am so thankful. Because of you, I have grown closer in my walk with our Lord Jesus. Thank you.
For the many expressions of love you have shown to me over the years through cards, texts, emails, or in person and more recently at the July 6 event at The Grove. Thank you. Read More...

Every August, our newly licensed workers attend Resonate and this year it was in Colorado Springs. Great relationships and friendships were established during this conference.
We also had a "fun" district activity that will be remembered forever. Here are some photos of this memorable time. |

Social media provides a powerful and effective means for C&MA SPA licensed workers to engage those whom they serve. As such, any information posted by C&MA SPA licensed workers is expected, both in content and tone, to uphold the C&MA SPA mission and the National Office values of Spirit empowerment, gratitude, ownership, servanthood, trust, authenticity, and honor. Employees and licensed workers should exercise particular caution with regard to posting items of a political or theologically divisive nature. |
