Now, more than ever

As we continue to emerge from the COVID fog, we emerge into a world where ministries face new and increasing challenges. Now, more than ever, it is time for Christian organisations to shine the light of Jesus more brightly into the world we temporarily inhabit. Now, more than ever, we need to be listening to the array of voices through whom God speaks. And now, more than ever, we need to be on top of our organisational game, so that our churches and ministries are fully effective.

Please join us in Brisbane for our 21st annual conference to be equipped, inspired and resourced for the challenges ahead - in the company of hundreds of outstanding colleagues!

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for the fantastic conference that CMA put on this year – I felt like a sponge soaking up so much valuable professional development. As an employee of a faith-based organisation, a board member of a Christian School and a (past) council member of my church, I found it incredibly affirming, provocative and relevant in so many ways. Many thanks again to everyone involved in bringing such a high standard of professional development to the conference – I will certainly (continue) to spruik its benefits to those around me."
