Center for Faith and Learning
Welcome to the Center for Faith and Learning
More and more, Christian educators are asking how Christian perspectives might inform both their written and creative scholarship and their classroom teaching.
The Pepperdine University Center for Faith and Learning grounds its work in the mission of Pepperdine University as it seeks to enhance the connections between classroom teaching, scholarship, and Christian faith and practice. We are located at Tyler Campus Center 106.

Women In Ministry 2012 National Conference: Prairie Spirit
The Women in Ministry National Conference 2012 will be held in the Kansas City, KS area this summer, June 28, 29, and July 1, 2012!
Come join us on the Tall Grass Prairie for Prairie Spirit 2012
and our theme "Partnering for Good."
Our main speaker will be noted author and speaker Carolyn Custis James, author of Half the Church and president of Whitby Forum, a ministry dedicated to addressing the deeper needs of both women and men as they endeavor to extend God's kingdom together in a messy and complicated world.
Other speakers will include both men and women within the churches of Christ who will speak about ministering and partnering together. The event will also feature time to enjoy the tallgrass prairie outdoors, quiet time walking trails, and fishing, so outdoors/more casual dress is suggested for the weekend.
**There is a $45 registration fee for the conference.
**There is an optional linen fee of $25 for those who would like to rent linens at the camp.
**If you would like to give a scholarship to assist students and those in need to come to the conference, please make that additional contribution to your check and include a note that indicates it is for a travel/registration scholarship.
All funds can be paid by check made payable to "Carrie Southwell/Women in Ministry churches of Christ(WIM)" and mailed to 10913 W. 128th Terrace, Overland Park, KS. 66213.
