“If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So, faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” James 2.15-17

Corporately, we seek to meet spiritual needs that may be beyond individual congregation’s ability to fulfill. The CMA accomplishes this in Casey by organizing community worship events and services like; the Popcorn Festival worship service, community Good Friday services, a New School Year Prayer service, Baccalaureate service and others.
Perhaps most important, the CMA provides the platform for healthy relational needs between Casey’s CMA members and member churches. Support amongst and for Casey’s church leaders and ministers is a vital part of what we provide. An important part of Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane was for unity to reign amongst His followers; unity with God the Father, unity with himself and unity with each other (John 14:6-26). While maintaining our distinctives, we have experienced that together we can more effectively engage the calling which He bestows on us.
