We are happy to announce that at General Council 2023, ACLD launched a new disciplemaking program: Project 2819: Developing Disciplemakers.
What is Project 2819?
Project 2819 is a subscription-based discipleship curriculum library.

Great Commission Day 2023 |
When your church gives to the 2023 Great Commission Day Offering, it launches gospel presence among lost, suffering, and overlooked people in the world's remaining hard places.
Choose a day or weekend before June 30 for your church to come together in prayer and giving to send the good news—in word and deed—to places where it has yet to be shared.
By now you should have received a poster and an invitation to help promote GC Day to your congregation. The rest of this year’s campaign resources will be made available in a digital format. These resources—which include printable bulletin inserts, video segments, promotional announcements, presentation slides, instructions for your church treasurer, and campaign graphics—will enable you to promote the offering during Sunday morning worship or through email, social media, and any other digital communications used by your church.
Links to these digital resources can be found at cmalliance.org/gcday and have been emailed to your church.

September is Church Multiplication Month
|
Multiplication is core to the mission of the Church. Planting churches has always been—and continues to be—the best way to win the lost, disciple them into loving, nurturing, communities of faith, and develop them into winsome disciple makers. This is how Christ’s Kingdom is multiplied on earth!
The Alliance is and has always been a church-planting movement, and church multiplication is vital to the fulfillment of our Acts 1:8 mandate and our All of Jesus for All the World vision. God is always opening new windows of opportunity to plant churches among marginalized, least-reached populations in our cities, suburbs, and rural areas. As His people, we seize opportunities to walk through the doors He opens.
This September, The Alliance will be celebrating Multiplication Month. Please plan now to designate one Sunday in September as Church Planting Sunday in your church. Later this year, the National Office Church Multiplication team will be sending digital resources to help you convey the importance of church planting to your congregation and explain how they can be a vital part of a multiplication movement.
Stay tuned for a leader's guide and printable/digital promotion materials to use as needed!
