ABOUT THE RUSSELL SCHOOL OF MINISTRY

THE RUSSELL SCHOOL OF MINISTRY AT
CINCINNATI CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY

Your support for the Russell Golf Classic is important
because:

1. It honors the Russell family. It’s impossible to
calculate the number of people who have been
positively impacted by Bob Russell’s 40-year ministry
at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, and
John Russell’s 40-year ministry at Lakeside Christian
Church in Lakeside Park, KY. The Russell School of
Ministry (RSM) is a powerful way to recognize the
faithfulness of this special family and extend their
impact far into the future.

2. Ministry is the heart of what we do at Cincinnati
Christian University (CCU). Bob and John Russell,
and several other members of their extended family,
are graduates of CCU. Since 1924 we have been
inspiring and equipping our students to bear fruit for
the glory of God. We want to make sure that for
years to come CCU will continue to provide the finest
ministry training available.

3. Future leaders need our help. We are recruiting
and teaching students who will preach the gospel
and serve with excellence, leading people to Christ
and planting new churches. The Russell scholarships
will help to keep a top-quality CCU education
affordable for ministry-minded students, and the
RSM endowed chair will help to ensure that our
ministry programs remain on the cutting edge.

Our $2 million goal ($1 M for student scholarships and
$1 M for the endowed ministry chair) is within reach!
With your generous support, this God-sized goal will
become a reality.

On Wednesday, February 23rd, CCU presented its annual Leadership Luncheon encouraging and inspiring local businesses and community leaders.   Tom Arington, President and CEO of Prasco Laboratories, shared how he started his company nine years ago at age 65, when others are thinking about retirement.  But by founding his company with God first, he has been blessed time and again, and his company has grown to rank fifth among pharmaceutical companies around the world.  He said he is privileged to work with godly coworkers, and he encouraged the audience to set right priorities and love God and love others.

Tom Arington

E. Thomas Arington, who founded the Cincinnati-based pharmaceutical firm, Prasco, in 2002, is also former Chairman and CEO of Duramed Pharmaceuticals and former president of the healthcare consulting firm MarketMaster. Prasco is one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical companies in the industry, in terms of relative growth and prescriptions dispensed.

In addition to business success, Arington also founded The Arington Foundation in 1994. Based in the Greater Cincinnati area, AF emphasizes supporting groups located in southwest Ohio, southeast Indiana, and northern/central Kentucky. The foundation has provided support for a variety of organizations, including those of an athletic, educational, humanitarian, and religious nature. These groups have had local to international impact.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped to make the 2011 Leadership Luncheon a memorable event!  Join us for the Leadership Luncheon 2012.
