The July 2018 issue of Christian Standard centers on Cam Huxford: A Portrait of Faithfulness while also highlighting the wider health, history, and future of the Restoration Movement. Through Jerry Harris’s feature on Cam and Sarah Huxford, readers see a long record of steady ministry, courageous leadership through change, commitment to missions, and investment in the next generation at Compassion Christian Church. That cover story gives the issue a clear personal focus, but the larger contents broaden into a movement-wide reflection on restoration, unity, church planting, and faithfulness.
This issue also includes a special church report on small and very small churches, showing how congregations of modest size are making a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond. Other articles explore church planting in the Restoration Movement, best practices for Restoration Movement elders and leaders, the history of Christian Standard Media, reconciliation across racial and fellowship lines, and hopeful signs of cooperation among independents, a cappella churches of Christ, and Disciples ministers.
Together, the July 2018 Christian Standard issue offers both biography and big-picture perspective. It is especially useful for pastors, elders, church leaders, and readers who care about the Restoration Movement’s identity, mission, and future. Readers looking for Cam Huxford: A Portrait of Faithfulness will find an issue that honors enduring ministry while also asking how churches can remain faithful, united, and mission-focused in the years ahead.
