We are better together

Tucson Ministry Alliance gathers local congregations and ministries together monthly to grow in relationships, knowledge, and action. TMA is committed to transformation in Tucson through unity and collaboration for the glory of Christ Jesus and the health, well being, and prosperity of the entire community.

What to Expect

  • $10 per person.
  • 11:30am to 1:00pm.
  • Catered lunch for those who register in advance.
  • Presentation by a local expert in the field of that month’s topic.
  • Testimonies of what God’s already doing.
  • Focused prayer with others around the issues and needs.
  • Strategic fellowship with other pastors and ministry leaders.
  • Resource tables for upcoming events and topic-related ministries.

Guiding policies

Resource tables are provided each month, and ministry leaders are welcome to stand by them so that interested people can come to them to learn more about their ministry. Please allow others to initiate, rather than you recruit.

Everyone in the room has a ministry they believe in. If we start announcing one, we’ll have to announce 100. Therefore our general policy is not to make announcements about upcoming events. Exceptions have to be pre-approved by the TMA administrative team.
