It is important that we begin by saying CSR Ministries is a trans-denominational, Evangelical Christian Movement that works with ALL of God’s children regardless of what church or denomination they are in. A non-denominational stance has been our policy from the beginning of CSR in 1978. We have worked with churches in all five of the major streams of Orthodox Christianity and with many different denominations and churches of all Christian flavors. In addition, a major focus of CSR’s ministry has been with the 45,000 independent, non-denominational churches in the United States. We have worked with Charismatics and with Catholics, Evangelicals and Episcopalians, Baptist and the Brethren, Presbyterians and Pentecostals, Assemblies of God and Anglicans and the list goes on and on.

It is also important to note that both Jim and Anne Bevis come out of the Acapella Churches of Christ, one of the three streams of the Campbell-Stone Movement. The Bevis’ ministered among Churches of Christ for over twenty years before entering the arena of what they call “the big church.” They recognize that their closest kin are in the Campbell-Stone Movement and specifically the Churches of Christ. They rejoice when they learn of the expanding and increasing renewal that is taking place among Churches of Christ as well as the Disciples of Christ and the other stream, the independent Christian Churches.

More than once, Jim has participated in the North American Christian Convention of the independent Christian churches. He had spoken in many independent Christian churches and led Conferences of Spiritual Renewal with the joint sponsorship of independent Christian churches.

In 2001, Jim led the Cane Ridge Prayer Gathering, a three day prayer meeting in conjunction with the 200th Anniversary Celebration of the Cane Ridge Revival of 1801. Jim and Anne worked closely with the Robert Steffans, Curators of Cane Ridge and with Richard Hamm, general minister of the Disciples during that season. Jim participated in a 2004 celebrating at Cane Ridge celebrating the Last Will and Testament of the Springfield Presbytery.

In 2004, Jim and Anne Bevis along with Rex and Elizabeth Vermillion were invited to Abilene Christian University by Dr. Douglas Foster to participating in a living history project of the Churches of Christ. The focus of their four-hour television interview was the Campus Evangelism Movement of the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, led by Jim Bevis, Rex Vermillion and Charles Shelton. It was described by all who participated as a heart-warming experience. The Bevis’ felt it was a “God-appointment” orchestrated by Sovereign God. The Bevis’ feel this is a re-connecting with their roots and they are eager to see where the Lord might lead.

Jim and Anne are available, as the Lord leads, to minister in churches of all denominations and especially in churches of the Campbell-Stone heritage.
