Website Under Construction: Fall 2025 (Update!)

October 17th, 2025
Hello CELEA community! :)
You may have noticed some changes around the website -- the CELEA website is getting updated and we'll be improving some major parts of the website (like that pesky log-in button) while adding some new features for our membership! As a little sneak peek, some new features you can except will be a communications forum where you'll see what's new and happening around the global Christian English Language Teaching community, events happening virtually/in-person, creative and inspirational pieces created by members of our amazing community, current research in linguistics/culture, and much more! You'll also see the beginnings of a job and internship board where we'll regularly post new listings from affiliated organizations and missional/educational institutions seeking unique individuals (like yourself)!
Before we launch anything, an awesome email will go out detailing every single change on the site so that you know where to go,
Thank you in advance for your patience and if you have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to fill out this form: https://forms.gle/eyrusfB3FiBKXwqr8. The launch date is set for November 30, 2025 (by God's grace)!
Blessings to you and yours,
Melody Sasis
