Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is a thriving and diverse community, providing many mission opportunities. In addition to locally owned businesses, NWA is also home to some of the largest corporations in the world. This combination of people groups provides a unique opportunity to touch the world from home. In spite of the thriving and diverse business community, there is also a need to touch those who are less fortunate.

Have you been looking for a way to serve? Come experience the thrill of being on mission with God by reaching your own community and also getting a taste of international missions right here in your own back yard! Ask the Lord how He might use you to reach your community with the Good news of Christ.

Living in Northwest Arkansas it is clear to see that much of our region is lost, without a Savior. NWA pic 1We may be surprised to walk into a neighborhood only minutes from our Springdale campus and find people with little or no knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is our mission as a local church to reach every corner of our community and share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Come with us as we fulfill our calling and reach our “Jerusalem”.

Jail Ministry

NWA Jail

Dear Friends,
I have the privilege of serving as the Executive Director of the Washington County Law Enforcement and Jail Chaplaincy (WCLEJC) and also as the Senior Chaplain of the Washington County Sheriff's Department. It is our desire to meet the religious needs of the detainees, officers, support staff, and their families. We offer encouragement and support during times of crisis. Our ministry provides Bibles, study materials, as well as conducting Bible Studies and worship services. In addition, we offer the detainee and opportunity to participate in the Aftercare Program.

It is our desire for them to become responsible, successful citizens. We have numerous testimonies of how lives are impacted and changed through the Chaplaincy ministry and the many volunteers who give of their time. An hour of your time given weekly or monthly can bring such encouragement to those who are without hope and in desperate situations. I invite you to join us. Become a part of WCLEJC and help those who are in spiritual bondage to be set free...if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Multi Housing Ministry

Multi Pic 1

The many multi-housing locations in our community give us an incredible opportunity to minister, touching more people simultaneously as they live closer in proximity. We can drive into an apartment community and see over 1000 residents with-in a 60 second drive. Opportunity is here.

Often times in multi-housing communities residents may sub-consciously feel closed off or trapped in. These feelings may come from a golf course, lake, or rail road track surrounding their community. As most of us have seen a lot of the communities have almost everything they need on site, such as, laundry facilities, club house, fitness room, pool, and even a video library. These among many other amenities reduce the need to leave the community except for necessary commute; which in affect may keep some of the residents from attending Church.

Our multi-housing ministry desires to break these barriers. Jesus said “go therefore…” and that is what we are doing. We are taking the Gospel into these communities in many different ways, here are a few:
Kids clubs, life skill clinics, Bible studies, movie nights, block parties, tutoring, Church plants and much, much more!

Partner with us as we share Christ in multi-housing communities.
