COMMITTED TO THE TEACHING MINISTRIES OF THE CHURCH

Partners In Education...

PIE is in the process of working on bios for PIE members in your association. This information will hopefully be available by the end of 2008.

We are also asking each church to provide us with the name and contact information for CE Directors, RE Directors, and Youth Ministry Directors. Please email that information to Rev. Paula Comper, illconfav@aol.com.

Or you may fill at this survey and retrunt it to me at the above email.
