History The Builders N P A C E is an outgrow th o f the annual C hristian Education confer­ ences, which were o rig in a lly spon­ sored by the N ational Black Evan­ gelical Association, led by Rev. Aaron H am lin, and then co-sponsored by N orth Portland Bible College and Portland Released-time Education Program. These conferences have beat attracting an ever-widening repre­ sentation from the churches. A more representative planning group became reasonable. N P A C E Was Initiated...in the closing session o f the C.E. seminar at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in December, 1988. Dean M ichael Lindsey o f N PBE had invited C hris­ tian Education Leaders to respond to the college’ s proposal fo r an associa­ tion o f Christian Educators. N PACE Board M ember, Connie Stanton, chaired the session that set the plans in m otion. Invitations to participate were sent out. N P A C E was form ally organized at a meeting w ith Dean Lindsey,in the college library on June 17,1989. Bylaws were adopted and officers were elected fo r the 1989-90 year. The 1989 Seventh Annual C hris­ tian Education Conference was the firs t o f their projects. “ ...For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the ru l­ ers, against the authorities, against the powers o f this dark w orld and against the spiritual forces o f e vil in the heavenly realm s.” Ephesians 6:12, N IV The firs t day o f the conference was held on the evening o f Septein- We a ll are architects o f Fate W orking in these w alls o f Tim e; Some w ith ornaments o f rhyme. N othing useless is, or low ; Each thing in its place is best; and what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise, Tim e is w ith materials fille d ; Our todays and yesterdays A re the blocks w ith which we build. In the elder days o f A rt, Builders w rought w ith greatest care Each m inute and unseen part; For God sees everywhere. W e Strive to do our w ork as w ell, Both the unseen and the seen! Make the house, where God may d w e ll, B eautiful, entire, and clean. B u ild today, then strong and sure W ith a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall tom orrow fin d its place. For builders a G o dly creed Is liv in g in the life they lead, The passing o f th eir beautiful feet Blessing the pavement o f the street And a ll their looks and words repeat O ur G od’ s sayings, wise and sw eet N ot as a vulture, but as a dove, The H oly Ghost came from above. N ot to one church alone, but seven, The voice prophetic spake from heaven; A nd unto each, the promise came, D iversified, but s till the same; For him that overcometh are The new name w ritten on the stone, The rainment w hite, the crow n, the stone. And God w ill give him the M o rn ­ ing Star! Maximum Marriage B u ild a “ m axim um marriage” w ith M e rid ia n P a rk H o s p ita l’ s “ T ra its o f a H ap py C ou ple ” .
