Join ACRE Now!


If you’re a staff member or volunteer whose role fits these titles: Sunday school coordinator/superintendent, education director, education committee chair, children’s ministry director, director of discipleship, family pastor, etc., you may want to consider joining ACRE. We believe this organization will be the voice that shapes the future of educational ministry within our denomination!

The annual membership fee of $55 for volunteer educators and $65 for professional educators includes these benefits:



  • Copies of three new educational resources from Faith Alive throughout the year (valued at $50), and an opportunity for your input to shape future resources.

  • A $45 registration discount for the annual Grow conference.

  • Full membership in the Association of Presbyterian Church Educators (APCE), including
    a subscription to The Advocate, APCE’s quarterly educator’s journal that features articles and ideas from educators in the CRC, RCA, and PCUSA (valued at $30).

  • a $175 discount for the APCE Main Event (the 2009 Event will take place in San Antonio, Texas, January 28-31).

  • access to $500 grants for ministry networking groups, and full scholarships (including registration, travel, lodging, and meals) for the APCE Main Event for educators who lead networking groups (five grants and five full scholarships awarded per year).

Most important, access to the wisdom of a bi-national network of church educators connected through e-newsletters, a webpage, and a blog that tracks educational ministries throughout the CRC—from opportunities for continuing ed. to great ideas from educators across North America.
