I have recently connected with CMConnect and Michael Chanley. My interactions have been wonderful. All of my questions have been answered in a timely manner. I am very much looking forward to attending their conference later this spring. The community that I am a part of in connection with CMConnect is a positive, uplifting and Christ-centered place to engage other leaders in children's ministry. I'm glad to have found this organization.
Those who work for this organization have intentions that are focused on God and sharing with others what he has blessed them with. This is not only reflected in their actions but in their kindness and dedication in serving others.
I went on a life changing mission trip to Belize! I love CMConnect and their heart for children and children’s ministers.
I've supported this ministry since it began and I'm a huge fan of the work they are doing. Michael and his team are genuine and authentic.
What a honor it is to be apart of a group that is consistently praying for this team. CMConnect is doing great things, and the impact they are making is unfathomable. I hope that one day, I can be apart of this team and to serve alongside them. The founder, Michael Chanley, is passionate about Jesus and it's evident in the way he leads.
I am humbled and honored to be able to be a part of CMConnect and work with them. Through them, I have been able to train teachers and workers in Honduras, Guatemala, and Kenya so they can further the Kingdom.

CMConnect is a great ministry that I have been privileged to be served by, and am now honored to be part of their team. I love their heart for children and their desire for all kids to come to know God through connecting, serving, and advancing children's workers around the world. They offer several different training opportunities throughout the year and great friendships are built through those trainings.
CMConnect is an ever-evolving nonprofit that has been able to successfully change with the times and continue to maintain their integrity in a world where many companies hide their inner dealings, choosing instead to focus on their own wallets.
Honored to be a small part of this important team!

Excited to see how this ministry has grown and honored to be a small part of the team making it work. Absolutely thrilled to see what God is going to continue doing in the future!
CMConnect helped us establish an ongoing relationship with another nonprofit in Belize. We were able to jump right in with outreach to children in underprivileged areas without missing a beat! This year will be our third consecutive year working with CMConnect, as it has become a fruitful partnership! <
CMConnect does a great job of connecting people for ministry. They are experienced and helpful in equipping the workers for their specific area of service. They keep Christ at the center of the mission while providing great leadership and focus.
I was fortunate to be able to meet Michael and the CM team on a Kidsmin Leadership Retreat in Belize. It was phenominal! I gained friendships, inspiration, practical knowledge for Ministry and most of all rest, reflection and relaxation! Everthing was so well organized and the planning was superb! I was even able to go zip-lining (to see things from a new perspective!) I can't wait to attend a conference in the States! I'm sure it will exceed my expectations as well! Thank you Michael and CMConnect!! Your expertise is invaluable!!

CMConnect is a wonderful organization and I absolutely love their heart for missions, families and kids! It was such a privilege getting to travel with them to belize and they’ve been such a blessing to me and so many others!!
I love the heart and soul of CM Connect! When you look at Christ's teaching to take care of the least of these and His heart for children, it is easy to see how CM Connect's vision, values and goals reflect those of Christ. I love that they intentionally look for other ministries with which to partner to impact the lives of children around the globe in tangible ways! - Jen Dupin, Elevate Dance Ministry
The thing that I love most about CMConnect is that they really care about people! Their end goal is simple. To connect people with others to share resources, provide training and build relationships across the world. Their heart and their passion for equipping people to share the gospel of Jesus is evident in everything that they do. I am so thankful that I found this group! I have made so many new friends and their wealth of knowledge and expertise has been such a great blessing to me in my ministry.
I have been to several Children's Ministry seminars, conferences and events. When I was invited to my first CMConnect conference I was expecting the same ol' same ol', but boy was I pleasantly surprised when I saw the number of sessions, the topics were so relevant it was hard to pick from them all. CMConnect offers the sessions on video after the seminar, so I was able to see everything I wanted to! I have never walked away from a conference of any sort feeling so blessed, so educated and so on fire and ready to make a difference!
CMConnect has also kept in touch with me and continually help me grow and stay grounded, all at the same time. This ministry is truly a gift from God!
A great organization doing some great work across the globe. Love the conference and everything they do.

Great organization to work with. Very personal and supportive of it's people. Have worked with other organizations that leave you to be and don't offer much help to be successful. CM Connect wants it's partners to succeed and be successful in the mission God's given them. Looking forward to working with them for many years to come.
CMConnect does just that - connects those of us who serve in children’s ministry here in the US and throughout the world. Through online networks,conferences, and training, CMConnect helps all of us help each other, as well as those we serve. I have been a professional in this field for 20 years and CMConnect helps me keep learning, and gives me the opportunity to give others the benefit of my experience. The leadership of the organization are humble, committed, and hardworking. This organization is the best in children’s ministry, in my opinion!
CMConnect is making a difference around the world! Its nice to know that the heart of this organization is to make a difference by connecting leaders all around the world and by doing so, making ministry to children a so much more effective.
The training it provides allows all leaders regardless of location, to learn and grow so they can help others.
I've been a part of the conference here in the states and part of the network for many years and I have grown so much.

CMConnect is leading the way in getting the local church to think globally, and in helping to provide resources to ministers who need it. The opportunities to serve with them is amazing, and they do a great job of making it easy for you to raise money, and to share your experience with others. Also they do a great job of being transparent with their finances, so you know your money is going to do ministry. Michael Chanley and his team do an amazing job, and I am proud to partner with them in their Ministry.
CMConnect is playing a vital role in connecting people who are passionate about children to each other so that we can minister to children more effectively. Thank you for blessing, & challenging me!
CMConnect does a remarkable job of serving not selling our children's ministers, especially smaller churches. And providing resources, and knowledge from like minded experienced children's pastors! I highly recommend you take advantage of this great resource.
CMConnect is a vital part of the community. They are helping Connect people in one general ministry so we can share stories and so much much. I appreicate the team at CMConnect and always will until God calls me to a different ministry!
CMConnect does a great job of equipping churches and children's ministries of doing their jobs better. They are great at offering resources and connecting people for Idea-sharing. Their conference is exceptional and the best use of my continuing education time in my ministry. This organization is awesome!
I was blessed by attending my first (but not last) CMConnect Conference this year. I have never felt so challenged and encouraged at the same time. It was a much needed boost to my system. I pray that my excitement will be contagious with my team at the church I serve at. Michael Chanley and his team not only tell us how much they care for and want to support children's pastors, but they show us over and over again. This speaks volumes about the quality of this organization. Thank you so much for all you do, please keep it up!!
CMConnect is an awesome organization and partner for children's ministers all over. My wife and I attended the CMConference last week and had a great time connecting and learning from others. It is like a family of people to stand alongside you as you work to lead children. Michael Chanley and others involved with this organization have a big heart to help children and those who serve them. Matter of fact, my wife and I consider ourselves part of CMConnect as that is how the organization works...it is about the community that is built among those that become part of it. Thanks for your service to us all in children's ministry!
Wow! What an great bunch of people. Truly they have a heart for building up God's church by strengthening kidmin leaders. I appreciate the knowledge everyone was so willing to share.
I was just blown away by the love and support I received at the CM Connect Conference. They truly exist to connect, serve, and advance! I felt truly blessed to be a part of this conference and tremendous resources that were provided to help me in my ministry.
CMConnect is a world class non profit. I have seen, first hand, lives that have been changed around the world. I highly recommend looking into this group.
CMConnect has been a great partner and resource for children's ministry for me. Beyond that they excell at serving others through out the world. They truly want to help the community of children's ministry especially those who struggle with resources. After spending time at the CM Connect Conference you truly are connected to a community of people all working towards the same goal sharing and showing Christ's love to children. One more aspect is their great follow up and follow through on what they say they are going to do.
A fantastic group of talented, committed and trustworthy people. I love being aligned with CMCONNECT!
CMConnect is one of THE best nonprofit organizations I've ever worked with, and I work with a lot. They are not out for money or acclaim or changing the industry or anything like that. They are truly here to serve children's pastors, and their heart is especially for those who are underresourced. CMConference is the best children's ministry conference I have ever attended. Scholarships make it possible for under resourced children's pastors to go. The Discipleship Program is a revolutionary way to improve your ministry, connect with others, and serve in the long hall like Jesus did. I could go on and on about how truly wonderful CMConnect is!
I've had the opportunity to interact with CMConnect through their CM Conference. I've never seen a conference so committed to helping all children's ministers network effectively and attend training affordably. There's a common ground that all are welcomed to and CM's from around the world gather to share, to pray, to worship and to grow together through conversation and connection. It's a true blessing to all who participate!
This organization is very transparent, and dedicated to it's mission. They connect people to each other and ultimately to Christ. They do a great job of training and empowering children's ministers.
CM Connect has done an amazing job of uniting those in children's ministry across the globe - from Africa to New Jersey. It's an amazing non-profit whose goal is to serve. I've been blessed by their ministry.
CMConnect does incredible work serving the global church. One of the ways that they have really impacted me is through their excellent podcast. There is such a shortage of useful and innovative kids ministry training, but they manage to, every week, present something that is useful and applicable for my ministry context. They are truly a unique organization that provides amazing training that is well deserving of your attention and support.
CM Connect is a leader in their field and stands out among other similar ministries. They really care about helping others and it shows through the type of work they do and events they host.
I'm a big fan of the work CMConnect is doing. These are just real people who love our real Lord who are trying to make a real difference. I can speak personally to the integrity of the individuals who lead this ministry, and I know they believe strongly in the potential that exists in training and developing children's ministry leaders around the world.
CMConnect is one of the most exciting nonprofits I know of. They are meeting genuine needs in children's ministries around the world, including ours. They have a heart to impart, train and resource for the sake of the next generation and their walk with God. We were so grateful for their work with us.
CM Connect is one of the most pure hearted organizations I've ever worked with. They truly embody the servanthood of Jesus to those serving in children's ministry.
Review from Guidestar
Absolutely love CMConnect! I have worked with Michael and his team and they truly act on their words; connect, serve and advance! They are committed to showing the heart of Jesus to children's leaders around the world. They work incredibly hard and their work has been a personal encouragement to many churches here in Aus!
CMConnect is a wonderful ministry to so many. I am a Children's Pastor who has been blessed by the CMConnect conference. Michael and his team are committed to resourcing the under-resourced. They aren't about making money or fame. They are genuine and humble in everything they do. I would definitely recommend donating to this worthy non-profit and attending the CMConnect Conference.
CM Connect is a great organization. They are prolific in equipping people who work with children. They have a lot of online resources that I never even have time to discover, because there are so many. They have an online community you can connect with - for free! They help me best through their podcasts though. I try to listen every week. They recently aired a breakout session from their 2016 CM Conference that has really encouraged me to look outside of our church to minister. The session was entitled Dealing With the Orphan Spirit in Your Church and it was podcast #40. I have listened to it twice now, and plan to listen again until I can sense what we need to do here in the town I live in.
CmConnect is an organization I have loved being a part of. Connecting under-resourced children's workers all around the world to those who are able to provide trainings and curriculum that is Christ-centered is the one thing I admire most about CmConnect. It's an organization that God has used to provide many needs for many people. Most recently, I worked alongside Michael to co-lead a group of 17 people with a heart to serve children on a mission trip to the jungles of Belize. This trip was unique in how we worked alongside a local ministry and the local community in Belize. Michael was adamant about working with the people there, not just for the people. It's been a blessing to serve alongside CmConnect, and I look forward to continue international ministry with them.
CMConnect is one of the best organizations in the field of ministering and training the people who love children. I've been a part of this group for a long time and they never disappoint. Whether it is a hosting a conference, training in other countries, sharing research or just being there when I needed an ear. The feeling of family and the close connections within the organization is wonderful. I always feel like I'm at a family reunion of sorts when I attend a CMConncect event.
Love, love, love this organization. It is a rare blend of professionalism and heart-felt community.
It's a great ministry. Showing the heart of serving all over the world as obeying Jesus and following his steps. I am honored to serve with Cmconnect in the Middle East . I am really blessed to be part of this ministry
I've volunteered with CMConnect since the very beginning. Great people have been added to the staff over the years and the things God is doing through CMConnect is amazing! I highly recommend them for training and equipping Children's Ministers and more!
CMConnect is an organization that is all about serving other people. That is refreshing to find in any organization. The DNA of CMConnect is all about equipping people who are working with and helping kids around the world, and that is evident in everything they do. Michael Chanley and his team have shown tremendous vision, passion and integrity in all of their efforts. I have always, and continue to be, comfortable recommending and encouraging that those in my own circle of influence support this ministry and all that they are working for.
As the Mother of the founder of C M Connect Michael Chanley I know that he loves to serve in the Ministry of the children and to serve the Lord.
I was first introduced to CMCONNECT about 2 years ago. I was so impressed by how generous they are. They hosted a conference unlike any I had ever been to before. They also had a generous scholarship program so everyone who wanted to, could attend. They constantly search out those in need; whether the need be physical, spiritual, or educational, the people of CMCONNECT pour their hearts and lives into serving others. This is a ministry that truly models Christ.
I sit on the board of this organization and have always found their leadership sharp, organized and easy to work with. It's truly a blessing to be a part of a team who is doing so much locally and globally for a people group (children workers) who have the potential to change the world through impacting the life of a new generation.
I had the wonderful opportunity to work with CMConnect in Rwanda. It was amazing to witness their passion for the mission God has planned for them and their absolute love for the people they meet along the way. If only we all had this ability – to love unconditionally and to respect others as Jesus would do – this world would be a much better place. I left Rwanda feeling like I had made lifelong friends! Thank you, Michael Chanley and Trevor Adams for all that you do for God’s children.
