Welcome
WELCOME to the Northeast Area of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest! Our Area includes 62 congregations located in the Piney Woods of East Texas. We are a diverse community, including Hispanic congregations and congregations that are members of the Texas Christian Missionary Fellowship. This year, 2010, we will be celebrating our 35th anniversary of being in ministry together!
The Northeast Area is one of eight Areas in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest. We cooperate with the North Texas and Trinity-Brazos Areas in our summer camp and conference program. In addition, we are blessed to have Jarvis Christian College (www.jarvis.edu) and Disciple Homes (www.disciplehomes.org) as ministry partners.
If you would like to find a congregation to worship with in our Area, or have an interest in volunteering to serve the Northeast Area, please contact us at neadoc@ccsw.org, or cloughridge@ccsw.org.

Compassion and Aid Received in Haiti
If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve inevitably heard about the difficulties of getting aid, supplies, and medical care to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
While it is true that the delivery of aid has been hampered by many factors, including infrastructure-related challenges, Week of Compassion can assure you that aid is reaching many of those who need it.
Martin Coria, Church World Service Regional Coordinator for Latin America and the Caribbean, now based in the Dominican Republic and working closely with Servicio Social de Igelesias Dominicana (SSID), noted that with pre-positioned CWS kits and blankets, SSID was able to provide relief to the victims of Haiti's massive earthquake in the first twenty-four hours of the disaster. On Wednesday, January 13, SSID sent a flight with supplies to Port-au-Prince, and their staff was able to see the needs firsthand and quickly provide the most crucial supplies and assistance.
