The Christian English Language Educators Association (CELEA) is a professional organization for English language educators who wish to network with others who share a belief in Jesus Christ.

Our aims are:

*	to be a resource for those involved in teaching English to speakers of other languages at both the professional and volunteer level.
*	to encourage professionalism, respect, and the provision of high quality instruction.
*	to promote Christian reflection on and scholarly research in this field.

We support each other in:

*	serving with integrity and faith wherever we teach, research or serve.
*	teaching in seminaries, Christian universities, and other schools.
*	building quality into church-based and other English language programs.
*	seeking to draw continually closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
