TEAM is a member of the Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA), an association that serves more than 9,000 members working in more than 4,500 organizations worldwide. The former Christian Management Association and the former Christian Stewardship Association joined together in April 2008 to create Christian Leadership Alliance—the nation's leading resource for enhancing the organizational effectiveness of churches and para-church ministries.

CLA seeks to build the body of Christ by building people—enhancing the effectiveness of Christian organizations and large churches. We recognize that organizational effectiveness begins with individuals, and that the role of the leader as a faithful steward belongs to all who are called to serve through governance, leadership, management or resource development.
