About Alliance Kids
Alliance Kids exists to equip leaders of the next generation of resilient followers of Jesus!
Through resourcing, training, and connectivity, we bring quality tools and engagement for faith formation in children.
Alliance Kids is a vital part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA), a Christ-centered Acts 1:8 family committed to equipping leaders and churches to bring the hope of Jesus to every corner of the world.
As part of the C&MA’s U.S. Church Ministries, our mission is to empower church leaders for the critical work of discipling children—raising resilient young believers who are deeply rooted in their faith, confident in their identity in Christ, and ready to live boldly for His Kingdom.
The C&MA is anchored in Jesus Christ, relying on the Holy Spirit’s power to fulfill the Great Commission by sending believers into every sphere of society with the Gospel. At Alliance Kids, we believe discipleship begins in the local church and includes children as vital participants in God’s redemptive plan.
We equip leaders with the tools, resources, and training they need to cultivate spaces where children are intentionally discipled, taught biblical truth, and invited into Great Commission living—embracing their role in advancing God’s restoration and light in a broken world. We do this throughout the Alliance and in partnership with Alliance Youth.
We are passionate about creating a culture where children feel seen, known, and loved—foundations that foster resilient discipleship. Through our intentional partnerships with church leaders, we are shaping a generation prepared to stand firm in their faith, carry the hope of the Gospel, and make a lasting impact for Christ in their communities and beyond.
