Please include CRC in your will - Ask how a charitable gift annuity can provide fixed income for life.

$80,000 is our goal this year for CRC DAY. 100% of CRC DAY gifts will be used for Bible department needs; including Bible major student scholarships, preacher training, restoration tour field trip, annual Bible Lectureship and Bible educational materials.

The CRC Board of Trustees approved in March, 2017 to increase scholarship opportunities to help make attending CRC more affordable for our students. Among those being increased are scholarships for Bible majors. Bible majors will be awarded 100% full tuition Bible scholarships for those that are interested in pursuing careers in ministry. We realize less students are pursuing careers in ministry. This is making it difficult for congregations to find ministers. CRC wants to help alleviate this minister shortage problem. Offering 100% Bible major scholarships is a substantial increase over the previous 50% Bible major scholarships. We are asking congregations and their members to help us offset this increase by participating in CRC DAY this year. We anticipate this increased Bible Scholarship adding another $105,000 of expenses to our Bible program (based on 20 Bible Majors).

CRC DAY allows congregations and anyone attending a participating congregation to support our Bible program. Please pick a method that works best for your unday, June 11, 2017 11, June S unday, congregation and help with CRC DAY this year. • Some congregations have a special contribution for CRC DAY. • Some congregations write a check from the church treasury for CRC DAY. • Some congregations will encourage individuals to make a CRC DAY gift. • Some congregations will do all the above to help with CRC DAY. Crowley’s Ridge College students are serving in congregations throughout this area nearly every Sunday, preaching and teaching Bible classes and song leading. CRC students also go on mission trips during spring break and serve in church internships during the summer. This type of ministry success with our students would not be possible without the support we receive for our Bible program through CRC DAY.

Approximately 200 congregations have helped with a CRC DAY gift since this special CRC giving day began in 1989. We are thankful for the many congregations and individuals that also support CRC on a regular basis. As a private, not for profit, Christian higher learning institution, raising support is very critical and something that we work on every day. CRC is not included in the budget of the state of Arkansas as public universities and colleges are in this state. We must rely on God, and, on congregations, friends, and supporters in funding CRC’s numerous operational needs, which include our Bible program.

CRC DAY CRC Please talk to your church leaders and ask them to help us this year with CRC DAY.

If June 11 is not a convenient date for your congregation, please pick another Sunday for CRC DAY. Thank you!
