Dr. Rod Butterworth, founder and president of Creation Ministries of the Ozarks and the Creation Experience Museum in Branson, Missouri, retired from his position on December 14th of this year. Upon announcing his resignation, he listed his age and health as part of his reason for stepping down. He will be greatly missed, and we desire God’s very best for him as he goes from here.
Since the founding of Creation Ministries of the Ozarks (CMOTO) in 2008, Dr. Butterworth has passionately led the ministry in proclaiming the authority and reliability of God’s Word. His zest, his enthusiasm, and his passionate vision-casting have made a mark on the world. They have also left a permanent impact on our lives. The lives of all those– past, present, and future– that are touched by the ministry are to be indebted to his faithfulness to the Lord.
For further updates on the ministry’s plans and activities during this transition phase– including the soon-coming official announcement of our new president– please stay tuned to our website and Facebook pages. We look forward to seeing what God has in store for 2023.
God Bless,
The CMOTO Team

“The fossilized tracks were primarily from three-toed theropod dinosaurs. Despite the 3,700-mile distance separating the tracks, their similarities are striking.[…] The preservation of these footprints suggests rapid sedimentation, likely resulting from the Global Flood. Finding matching footprints on both sides of the Atlantic is strong evidence supporting…”
Music shows beauty in God’s handiwork. Let’s explore some examples of where we see music in His creation and His fingerprint in it all.
