| Presbytery of East Iowa - Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) |
| Reverse The Arrow
"Reverse The Arrow" is the vision of the Presbytery of East Iowa to have each of the 84 churches grow spiritually and become vital to their community and the world by proclaiming in new ways Christ's love for all and God's Lordship over all creation.
It encourages elders to embrace their role as the spiritual leaders of the church and become the catalyst for systemic change. It encourages and trains pastors to be visionary leaders. It encourages our churches to make the changes necessary to turn around the culture of plateaued and declining churches. When churches, "Drive to Thrive", they are moving beyond a mission statement. They are making a concrete commitment to engage people at their point of need and to minister to their communities. They are active in a visioning process and in the implementation of change. Thriving churches are passionate and joyful about their relationship to God and how this gets lived out in their daily lives. |

| pluggedin Online |
| Plugged In is a Focus on the Family publication designed to help equip parents, youth leaders, ministers and teens with the essential tools that will enable them to understand, navigate and impact the culture in which they live. Entertainment is a potent influence on our culture for both good and evil. Through our reviews and discussions of that entertainment, we hope to spark intellectual thought, family discussion, spiritual growth and a strong desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8. "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." |

| Presbyterian Church USA |
| The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has approximately 2.4 million members, 11,100 congregations and 14,000 ordained and active ministers. Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with the French lawyer John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him. |
