About our Writers Group

The Maine Fellowship of Christian Writers has been meeting together for about 17 years, headed by our President, Vicki Schad.  The Maine Fellowship of Christian Writers is a member of  American Christian Writers.  We currently meet at the home of Audrey Houghton in the beautiful rural setting of China Village, Maine on Saturday afternoons from 1 - 4 pm most every month. We usually have from half a dozen to a dozen and a half in attendance.

We have a delightful group of adult members, from the young to the young at heart. Our group is a mixture of published authors and aspiring writers of all genres. The purpose of our group is to encourage, instruct, develop, and promote Christian writers. 

During our meetings we share the responsiblity of sharing a writing lesson and cover a variety of topics.  We provide an opportunity to share and critique selections of members' writings and take some time to plan our conference.  And of course, there is plenty of time for refreshments and fellowship.

Each year the MFCW holds a Christian writers conference.  Our first conference was in 1993.  We've been blessed to feature speakers and workshops by the following:  Sally Stuart (Christian Writers Market),
Dr. Clarine Coffin Grenfell, Robert and Martha Stevenson (publishers), Genie Dailey (editor), Lawrence Chewning (songwriter), Susan Page Davis (author), Yvonne Ortega (author), Darryl E. Witmer (founder of AIIA Ministries), Jean Ann Pollard (author), Edie Cunningham and Karen Weitzel (authors/ABWE), Dr. Ken Parker, Dr. Wil Dowd, Rev. Jeanne Breden, and Rev. Ted Chaffee. This year we add to this list Cecil Murphey, Ruth Axtell Morren, and Yvonne Ortega.  

Membership to our group is open and we encourage all who are interested to feel free contact us or connect with us on facebook or at our conference.
