Membership

Your membership in the ALLIANCE will provide you with the best of partnership opportunities, connecting resources and networking capabilities. Our website will be the location to find all of our current members. Our national media awareness initiatives also serve as a mechanism to tell others about your orphan care/adoption ministry. We are looking forward to a FULL DISCLOSURE TOOL on our web site where potential ministry partners can find out more about each one of us. We appreciate your patience and support as we develop this wonderful tool.

Membership Guidelines:

Our vision is to see every orphan experiencing God's unfailing love and knowing Jesus as Savior.

Our mission is to motivate and unify the body of Christ to live out God's mandate to care for the orphan.

The core values and standards of the ALLIANCE include:

1. A signed statement of faith
2. A commitment to provide or aid in the discipleship of children.
3. Accredited membership with the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability (ECFA), affiliate membership or the active pursuit of membership with ECFA.
• We understand that ECFA is not something organizations can achieve overnight. For more information, click here to read FAQs regarding ECFA and Christian Alliance for Orphans (pdf) or visit ECFA's website.
4. Adoption agencies must only place children in loving, Christian families, based on a written statement of faith consistent with the Alliance' Statement of Faith (unless country/government restrictions do not allow for this distinction).
5. Participate with full transparency and accountability in the disclosure tool to be set up on our web site. This is for the purpose of serving the Church and one another.

Again it is our desire to honor the Lord Jesus Christ in all we do by following best practices with integrity to fulfill our vision and mission.
