Church Ambassador Network of Arkansas Connects with Leaders at SBC

Last week, the Southern Baptist Convention held its annual meeting in Dallas, Texas. Over ten thousand messengers represented their churches at the Convention to commission missionaries, vote, and fellowship with fellow believers.

You can read about some of the notable resolutions that were passed here.

The Church Ambassador Network of Texas had a booth in the exhibit hall, where Cade Daniel from our team represented Arkansas alongside Church Ambassador staff from Iowa. Collectively, we interacted with hundreds of attendees including many pastors from Arkansas.

Many Americans do not fully appreciate how much churches do for their communities. Nationwide, researchers estimate that churches, ministries, and religious charities provide hundreds of billions of dollars worth of services every year.

Our Arkansas Church Ambassador Network currently has about 400 churches in it. In the coming months, we want to help elected officials and churches work together to address issues like foster care, fatherless homes, addiction, and human trafficking in Arkansas.

If you help lead a church or similar ministry in Arkansas, we would invite you to join the Church Ambassador Network for free today.

Ministers, Church Leaders Gather for Pastors’ Day at the Capitol

On Thursday ministers and church leaders from across Arkansas gathered for Pastors’ Day at the Capitol.

Family Council and its Church Ambassador Network initiative sponsored this excellent event.

Pastors’ Day at the Capitol gives church leaders and opportunity to worship in the capitol rotunda, hear from elected officials, and pray over the state’s policymakers — and it’s one of the best things we do all year.

The Church Ambassador Network is a nonpartisan initiative of Family Council designed to build relationships between ministry leaders and community leaders. Our goal is for elected officials to see churches as a resource that can address many of the problems that communities face. This year the Church Ambassador Network has hosted different meetings between ministers and elected officials to help further that goal.

We are pleased to bring ministers and elected officials together for this excellent event, and we look forward to hosting other gatherings with ministers and elected officials in the near future.
