CMA is a professional association charging annual membership fees in return for membership benefits. Our members are those who have leadership or management roles in Christian churches, missions, schools and ministries, as well as Christians who are marketplace managers, business owners, or just interested in management and faith. Our desire is to build a thriving community of members who share a passion for excellence in management, and who participate in a way that leads to mutual benefit.

Members must agree to a Code of Practice.

Members may be individuals or organisations. Membership benefits include:

Regular Australian Publications

National Conference

We bring in speakers and workshop facilitators from around Australia and the world, and our four conferences so far have contained a total of well over 150 individual sessions (all available on tape or CD here).
