Vision / Mission / Purpose

Our Vision

Our Ozarks Chapter of the American Christian Writers Association is being formed in response to a felt need for a uniquely Christian atmosphere to foster and encourage Christian writers. As Christian writers, we seek a place to come together for encouragement in our Christian growth as well as in our writing skills; to help and encourage one another - whether in writing for Christian publications or writing for the secular press in ways consistent with our Christian worldview.

Come enjoy a distinctive fellowship & focus on living Christ-centered lives with other Christian writers and "writers-to-be" where encouragement and information is provided.
