A Word from SCEM

We, the New Jersey State Christian Education Ministry, are excited to welcome you to the 2023 Joint Conference! It has been 4 years since we last gathered for conference in person. Even though we have had successful virtual conferences, there is NOTHING like the gathering of God’s people as we learn and grow together.

For years, many of us have gotten comfortable in doing what we’ve always done almost becoming averse to change because of what it may do to our familiar culture and mindset of what the church should be. However, the last three years have proven that we cannot continue to operate in a “business as usual” mindset because times are changing faster than we realize. We have gone from people coming into a physical church building to people worshipping via social media and online outlets. This is just a small example of the change we were all involuntarily pushed into.

During this conference, we pray that something is said or done that will not just grow the State aggregation, but that you can take back to your local assemblies to continue to effect change in your church and the surrounding communities

We also pray that you enjoy the fellowship of the saints and all the activities we have planned for you.

If there’s anything we can do to make your weekend experience better, please do not hesitate to speak to any of us. Again, welcome to the 2023 Joint Conference, happy 90th Anniversary to the New Jersey State Ministerial Conference, and may God bless you as we fellowship this weekend!

Much love,
