The church I have been going to for a bit over a year (The North-Eastern Christian and Missionary Alliance) is not a very large one, and is located in the outer north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It is part of the "Christian and Missionary Alliance" grouping of churches, which became a recognised denomination relatively recently.
The author and preacher A W Tozer was a minister in the C & M A.
It is my hope to take some photographs of us, and place them here on my website, along with some more information.
As you would guess, it is a missionary-orientated church; that is to say its congregation actively supports a number of individuals and families out in the mission field, either as people who spread the actual Gospel, or those whoare professionally located (such as doctors, teachers, engineers) in remote undeveloped countries where they are permitted to share their faith freely, or even as support staff (such as the Far East Broadcasting Service).
We have a web page at http://www.pastornet.net.au/cma_adl.
This is where I went to church until about a year and a half ago, when due to changed meeting times I needed to find somewhere else because of the difficulties associated with being a carer. It is a wrench to leave folk you have regarded as family for some seven or eight years.
It also is not a very large one, and is located in the inner north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It has a web page at http://www.citywide-ca.net
It is called Citywide Christian Assembly, and people come from all directions across the city to meet on Sundays, and for a range of weekday activities. There is a young adults' group, a teenagers' group, a 'Kids' Club', a mothers' playgroup for even younger people, a ladies' group which meets both in the daytime and also on an evening (for working ladies), and also a monthly mens' breakfast.
Here is another shot of the lawn outside the main entrance, where small people can also play in the safety of a fenced off area with a minimum of supervision. Click on this one and again you will be taken to a larger picture on a new browser page.
There is an orchestra which presents music regularly, but not every week - because the thinking is that the musicians need to have time to worship themselves as well. Likewise we also have a small mixed choir which from time to time presents worship songs arranged in harmony. They also help the worship leader (they have a roster of several of these) to lead the congregational singing during church.
Nothing flash, just an old timber framed church building which the previous owners no longer wanted, and the congregation been working on it inside and out to make a real good family worship centre over a 20 year period.
