WordAlone Ministries News Archive

Network News is the official bimonthly newsletter of WordAlone Ministries. Starting in 2002, this publication tracks the activities of WordAlone as it began arguing against CCM with the ELCA, through the sexuality questions, to the "New Day" WordAlone as it moves into the future in an entirely new paradigm in which, "Preaching, teaching,and confessing Jesus Christ as God's Word alone," is our new mantra. There is no fee for receiving Network News by regular mail. Call or e-mail the WordAlone Ministries office to be added to the mailing list.
