About the C&MA
This page presents background information on the Christian and Missionary Alliance in Australia and overseas. The Goldfields Alliance Church is part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Australia Inc, which in turn belongs to the wider body of the Christian and Missionary Alliance World Fellowship.
We are Christian because we believe and follow Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. We are Missionary because we are committed to reaching nonbelievers with the good news of Jesus Christ.

That commission clearly instructs us, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." Matthew 28:19,20
