CMA is a nonprofit, non-denominational membership association for leaders and managers of Christian churches and organisations. Formed in 2002 as a result of collaboration between Australian Evangelical Alliance, with headquarters in Melbourne, and Wesley Mission Sydney, CMA has grown to many hundreds of members from all around Australia, as well as a small number of international members.

CMA is driven by the desire to:

• Promote management as a high calling in ministry, and recognise the value of the spiritual gifts of administration.
• Prevent viable ministries failing or struggling, because of poor management.
• See ministries become more effective at whatever God has called them to do.
• Fill the gap in resources in the area of Christian management.
• Develop training opportunities for people whose ministry role is chiefly managerial.

Our mission is 'Maximising Ministry Effectiveness', and we seek to accomplish this by way of our Six Strategic Thrusts.

We address issues such as leadership, governance, church administration, CEO leadership, marketing, finances, fund raising, legal issues, HR and more.

We have had four successful national conferences, attracting a combined total of over 1000 delegates, and an ever-expanding number of smaller events as well in various locations. CMA is a ministry of Australian Evangelical Alliance Inc., governed by our own national board, and we have a full time National Director, based in QLD. CMA Membership starts at $75 per year (or $35 for electronic-only membership).
