CHRISTIAN EDUCATION MINISTRIES
We exist to make Arkansas Churches more effective through education and edification.
C.E.M. Resources:
Minister's retreat
This yearly retreat offers pastors a time to be ministered to. Currently scheduled in September of each year, it’s a time for pastors to get away for worship, encouragement, fellowship, and recreation.
Minister's Wives Retreat
Each February, this two-day event offers the wives of ministers an opportunity to be refreshed through a variety of activities: fellowship, skits, crafts, music, recreation, and worship.
PILLARS Gathering
The purpose of PILLARS is to reinforce the application of theology (what we believe about God) to the everyday life of the believer. PILLARS is open to all who are interested in delving into deeper theological waters on topics that lie at the core of our Christian beliefs. Typically, four papers are presented that develop a theme or topic laid out for that gathering.
