ACMA is seeking to establish ACMA Local Chapters in cities across America that will connect and communicate with Children’s Ministers. These Local Chapters, while still being free to exchange ideas and share information in ways that fit them, will also serve as grass roots gatherings to meet the unique and ever changing challenges Children’s Ministers face.
ACMA will equip the Local Chapters each month by providing a discussion for the group offering guidance and growth. ACMA Leadership desires to encourage Children's Ministers through the Local Chapters, not manage them.
Local Chapters can consist of ACMA members and non-members.
If you would like to start your own Local chapter, please see the guidelines below.
LOCAL CHAPTERS
ACMA’s goal is to have a Local Chapter in every city across the United States. If you have a network group already established, add accreditation to it by establishing it as being an ACMA Local Chapter.
Be the one to start the Local Chapter in your city. If you would like to start a Local Chapter or register your existing group with ACMA, please complete the Local Chapter Application.pdf and email, fax or mail it to ACMA (form can be filled out online). Please note: The Chapter Leader will be listed as the contact person on this website.
Guidelines for a Successful Local Chapter: Download this guide for ideas to successfully manage your group - Guidelines Brochure.pdf.
