Ministries
The Elma Christian & Missionary Alliance family seeks to extend God’s love to everyone we meet; to walk with our neighbors through the steep challenges life brings, and to introduce them to the One who offers true hope, discipling and mentoring new believers to become healthy, passionate Jesus followers. We do this through participating in and supporting local and regional ministries. We also provide support at the national and international efforts of the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination which has over 500,000 worshipers, speaking 38 languages, in 2,000 churches. More than 40% of U.S. Alliance churches are non-majority culture, making us one of the most diverse evangelical church families in America.
Children and Youth
Our children are God's blessing, and our future.
Children's Church
During Sunday service, while their parents enjoy the main worship service, the children are released with their teachers to their classroom where they train them up to know God's word and find the truth of Christ in this broken world. The children are taught through an age-appropriate foundational Bible-based curriculum that is both fun and educational. We have three age groups: Seedlings (Infant through 3 years old), Faith Sprouts (Preschool through 1st grade), and Faith Explorers (2nd through 5th grades).
Care-A-Lot Preschool
The heart behind Care-A-Lot is to lead children to Jesus in all we say and do. We will learn a monthly memory verse, read Bible stories, and pray as a class. We also strive to help children develop the skills they will need for kindergarten with an emphasis on social skills such as following a routine and interacting with their peers. We understand that all children have their strengths and areas where they can grow, and we want to do all we can to help them be successful.
