Alliance Kids is our Kids Church or Sunday School Program for children aged 2 through to 12 years. Alliance Kids runs during our morning church services during school terms. Here, children will learn and discover relevant Bible truths that they can apply to their lives. Using age appropriate worship, stories and activities we aim to support parents and help lay a spiritual foundation that lasts a lifetime.

Alliance Youth strive to create a fun and enjoyable environment in which young people can explore and grow their relationship with Jesus. It is a safe place to connect with other young people and leaders, and be supported as they journey through life and grow in spiritual maturity. We currently have 2 groups running;

- Impact Youth (Years 7 - 9)

- Alliance Youth (Years 10 - 12)

Alliance Youth meet on Friday nights at 7pm during school terms.

We believe strong family units bring stability to individuals and to our community. We have a desire for families as being a place for nurturing faith and fun. Seminars and workshops are often held throughout the year to support families as well fun events like going on a picnic, having a bush dance or hosting a movie night.

Here at Alliance we seek to cater for families by having a range of programs and ministries which suit all ages and stages of family life. These include Playgroup, Alliance Kids, Alliance Youth, Discovery Internship, Alliance Women, Alliance Men, small groups and more.

Small groups are a great way to get to know people in the church family. It is also a safe place to explore the scriptures, to grow in your faith, build relationships and share about your life. Many of our small groups testify how the time of fellowship, focusing on God’s Word and praying for each other is a highlight of their week.

We have small groups meeting all over Canberra on a range of days and times.

If you are interested in joining a small group contact Alberto or check out the small groups section and contact the group leaders directly.

We are being called by God to be women of faith who live passionately for Him. Women who love, speak and act with wisdom and grace. We encourage and support women to role model Jesus Christ at home, in the local body of believers and into all areas of our communities.

We do this by being leaning on God, loving those around us, being active in church ministries and gathering together at our regular women’s Wednesday Bible study group, Saturday café gatherings and participating in special events throughout the year.

In our women’s ministry, we want to encourage women to be excited about the presence of God displayed in and through them to:

- Follow Christ with passion and live authentically

- Grow in spirit & truth

- Love those around them

- Be motivated to action & service

- Enjoy life as a community of women

- Have fun

We are being summoned to be foundational men of God who live boldly for Him. Men who love, speak and act with wisdom and grace. We encourage and support men to role model Jesus Christ at home, in the local body of believers and into all areas of our communities.

We do this by being leaning on God, loving those around us, being active in church ministries and gathering together at our regular men's breakfasts and annual men's camp.

In our men’s ministry, we want to encourage men to be excited about the power of God displayed in and through them to:

- Follow Christ with passion and live authentically

- Grow in spirit & truth

- Love those around them

- Be motivated to action & service

- Enjoy life as a community of men

- Have fun

We believe prayer is vital in the Christian life and for the life of our church. God is honoured when His people humble themselves and come together in prayer. Transformation occurs when we pray in line with God’s will.

We have regular times where people can come together and pray, and we have a prayer team who can pray with you and on your behalf in difficult times. You can contact them using the prayer request link on the toolbar.

Wednesday Morning 7:15am – 8:15am

Saturday Night 7:30pm - 8:30pm

As part of the Christian & Missionary Alliance worldwide, our passion is not just knowing and following Jesus, but helping others know and follow Him. This begins with those God has placed in our spheres of influence and flows to those in other cultures who are searching desperately for meaning, significance, security, and love.

We seek to exalt Christ by personally engaging in His mission, particularly with those who have critically low access to the gospel. As they respond, we pray that they will build Great Commission churches that will go to the remaining dark places of the world.

We are committed to expanding the reach of the gospel throughout the world by

- Establishing new churches and communities of faith

- Discipling new believers

- Training new generations of church leaders

- Providing critical medical care

- Broadcasting the gospel over the airwaves

- Helping those displaced by war and disaster

- Digging clean-water wells in drought-stricken areas

- Sharing the gospel with prison inmates

- Restoring broken marriages

- Establishing schools and hospitals

- Providing career training for the unemployed

The C&MA Australia is currently engaged in the following mission areas: Australia (Indigenous Ministries), Thailand, Japan, East Africa, Indonesia, Cambodia, Fiji, Bali and Papua.

An internship program with Woden Valley Alliance Church is a unique opportunity for you to explore and discover more about who you are, to expand your faith, develop your gifts and to find out what serving in your local church, local community and in a missional context is all about.

Often as young people we have a desire to serve God but are unsure where, when or how. This internship program has been designed to offer you a wide range of opportunities to discover, sample, learn, and explore who God has created and called you to be. You will be able to immerse yourself in the local church in some key ministry areas and at the same time, connect with the community in a number of ways and also look at serving cross culturally. The whole internship program has been established so you will be able to gain valuable experience, be challenged, stretched, nurtured and encouraged to grow as you serve God intentionally for a period of 18 months.

Our internship program is open to people who are over the age of 18 years, are committed to growing in their faith, developing their spiritual gifts and serving the Kingdom of God.

There are 2 options in the journey:

- Be part of the Discovery Internship Program AND study a Diploma of Christian Studies with ACOM (Australian College of Ministries)

- Join our Discovery Internship Program AND be enrolled in some form of formal training which could be used in Ministry. Eg Family Counselling, Bible College, Social Work, Nursing etc

This training pathway is provided in partnership with the Australian College of Ministries (ACOM). ACOM is a Member Institute of the Sydney College of Divinity who offer internationally recognised higher education awards.

Study with ACOM is Austudy & Fee-Help approved through the Sydney College of Divinity, for students who meet the Australian Government criteria. Visit [www.studyassist.gov.au](https://www.studyassist.gov.au/) for details.
