Temple B'nai Israel

Chabad-Lubavitch Center of Arkansas, founded in 1992 and located in Little Rock, is part of a worldwide Jewish group offering a complete range of adult education classes and youth programs including a summer camp. It has restored the state's aged mikvah, making holistic programs and publishing the state's only Jewish newspaper which is distributed to every Jewish household in Arkanasas. The movement is guided by the teachings of its seven leaders who expounded upon the aspects of Jewish mysticism and law, personifying the Biblical qualities of piety and leadership. They concerned themselves with the totality of Jewish life, spiritual and physical, and laid down programs, services and institutions to serve every Jew, develop a sense of community and enhance the experience of being Jewish. Chabad-Lubavitch Center of Arkansas does not charge for membership or pastoral services and voluntary donations are accepted.

A teaching ministry with demonstrations of God Love and power!

Asbury United Methodist Church has a long and rich history. Beginning in our ministry in 1888, we were a mission of First Methodist Episcopal Church South and Winfield Episcopal Methodist Church South. The newly formed congregation first met in an old store building on Eighth Street. By 1906 it had become apparent that the growth of the city was toward the west, so Asbury became the first mission to West Little Rock when in 1908 it moved into the new sanctuary at Twelfth and Schiller. As the city continued to move west, these members realized that this was again where their mission must be. On July 10, 1980 the church voted to relocate and again move west. Land was purchased and the first Sunday in the new facilities at 1700 Napa Valley Drive was November 21, 1982. Almost immediately the church outgrew its new facilities. More classrooms and parking were needed. The vision we have as a community of faith reaching out to West Little Rock in ministry and service to God is the same vision that those pioneers had in 1888 when a mission was started in an old grocery store. Like those early members of Asbury, we too will reach out to do what is needed to fulfill our calling. Our challenge today is to be all God calls us to be.
