| Who We Are |
Christian Educational Ministries was founded in November, 1995 as a service ministry with two major goals. First in the hearts of all Christian people is the imperative to share the Gospel with the world, to evangelize, to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Second, it is our desire to teach those who are disciples of Jesus all that He commanded His disciples to do (Matthew 28:19-20).
To this end, we teach the Bible with a view to helping people make their own lives work while they are a positive influence and blessing to those around them. Our primary mission is carried out through the Born to Win Radio Program, literature, essays both in print and on the Internet, and published books. We also make available sermon CD's and an Adult Bible Study Course in our CEM Bookstore. More...

| About Ronald Dart |
|
 Within four months from the time he made the first Born to Win radio program in January of 1996, Ronald Dart was on 26 stations from Brisbane, Australia to Providence Rhode Island. What surprised us at the time was that virtually all of that time was negotiated and purchased by individuals or small groups who believed Ron’s message should be heard in their town. They were so dedicated to the message, that they were willing to pay for radio time out of their own pockets.
People around the world have come to appreciate Ron’s easy style, his non-combative approach to explaining the Bible, and the personal, almost one-on-one method of explaining what’s going on in the world in the light of the Bible. People say they get hooked on Ron’s depth of insight into the Bible and appreciate the unique gift for clarity and simplicity that enable him to hold an audience. His listeners don’t want to miss a word this broadcaster has to say and they want their community to hear it as well.
You can see how far we have come in the Born to Win radio log.

| About Doctrinal Statements |
|
People often ask for our doctrinal statement partly, I think, because they assume we are a church or parachurch organization. I can understand why churches adopt creeds or doctrinal statements, because those who consider belonging to the church have a right to know what the church teaches.
But you won’t often find doctrinal statements at the front of commentaries or books by individuals. It is assumed that the commentary speaks for itself. CEM and Born to Win are more like a commentary than a church in that our belief system is fully contained in what we say and write. Creeds may be necessary for churches. I am not a pastor, but a Christian apologist.
Churches need non-denominational ministries like CEM to offer new views of old subjects and to promote doctrinal growth. Doctrinal creeds have the effect of blocking examination of issues that might have a bearing on the belief system. That is a two edged sword. It does serve to provide doctrinal stability for a church, but it also inhibits growth in knowledge. More...
