Partnership in the Body of Christ
On South 12th Ave in Bloomington, Minnesota, not far from the airport and the Mall of America is a modest business park. The east end of the building in the Airport Business Park is home to NextStep Resources, owned by Aaron Uram and operated by him and his staff. Formerly associated with the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), NextStep became a separate entity after reorganization in that denomination.
Several years ago relationships developed between Aaron at NextStep and former CCCC conference ministers, Cliff Christensen and Steve Gammon. As changes were implemented in the CCCC office, th
e relationship with NextStep grew and a partnership was formed that gradually replaced the functions of Foresee Publications.
A Christian resource ministry, NextStep provides churches and individuals all over the country with church supplies, Sunday School and VBS curriculum, Bible study resources and a wide variety of Christian books and media.
Many CCCC churches and members already take advantage of NextStep’s services. Aaron reported in July 2013 from the NextStep table at the CCCC Family Conference, that CCCC members were the 3rd largest group visiting his website. (The larger two groups were EFCA affiliations.)
NextStep’s primary purpose is to provide materials priced to help local churches carry out their ministries. They offer 20 to 25% discounts on most items and 5-10% discounts on curriculum. NextStep also posts a specific CCCC page on their site. To access this page go to nsresources.com, click on “Denominational Resources” in the “Browse Store” box on the left side of the page, and then choose “CCCC.” There you will find resources specifically designed and recommended for members of the CCCC.
Nowadays, you don’t have to get to Bloomington to use NextStep’s services. You can take advantage of the wonderful relationship that has been built in the Body of Christ, visit their website or give them a call. See what they can help you with today!
