The
Appleton City Ministerial Alliance meets throughout the year providing
community services and opportunities for the area churches to gather together
for worship. Additionally, the ACMA
helps people through the region in a variety of ways. In 2023 the ACMA founded the Tony Reynolds
Memorial Scholarship, which is a $1000 scholarship awarded locally to an area
student pursuing continuing education post-high school. Some in the community have asked about the
ability to make donations directly towards the scholarship fund that are not
used in other ACMA endeavors. At any
time, you may make donations towards the ACMA and we encourage you to do
so. You may make donations at any of our
community meetings, or feel free to contact one of the ministers serving in the
ACMA for more information.
