History of MACEA1973 was the birth year for MACEA. Several concerned Christian Educators met and organized NCSSA (North Carolina Sunday School Association). The next year, a Convention was held in Greensboro, NC. Later with much growth, and as attendees came from seven states, the name was changed to MACEA, (Mid-Atlantic Christian Education Association.) We are incorporated in NC. All Committee members are volunteers, except our efficient, office manager, Minda Stewart. This position is a ministry with part time salary. Minda is MACEA'S voice when you phone.
After 1975, the Convention moved to Charlotte, meeting in Harding High School. Other meeting sites have been Calvary Church on Sardis Road, Central Church of God, East Coast Bible College, later, larger Calvary on Highway 51. In 1996 and 1997, we were at Heritage USA. In November, 1997, Heritage was sold, forcing us to Palmetto Center in 1998. From 1999 to 2002, Ridgecrest Conference Center near Asheville was our home.
The next year brought us to the facilities of First Wesleyan Church in High Point, NC. This "state of the art" site is excellent for MACEA'S activities. MACEA as been in High Point for four years.
In 2006 Dr. John McMurphy was elected president of MACEA during our annual elections. He is also a field representative for David C. Cook for the northeastern United States. Through the years, MACEA has been blessed with keynoter "giants in the faith." Some are: Josh McDowell, Tony Evans, Mark Corts, Joni Eareckson Tada, Ross Rhoads, David Jeremiah, Jerry and Jonathan Falwell, Leith Anderson, Anne Graham Lotz and Elmer Towns.
