Equipping Believers

In an effort to help equip Arkansas Christians in their role as “salt” and “light,” AFEC is offering a variety of conferences and sermon topics. Information is power – it has always been that way – and even more so today. to win the world for Christ and to create a righteous culture, we believers must know what we believe, why we believe it, and how to relate all of that to our secular world in a loving way without appearing self-righteous and religiously superior.
