“The intelligent heart acquires knowledge” Proverbs 18:15
A vibrant faith is always seeking deeper understanding. On this site, educational resources are available for biblical, theological and spiritual enrichment for children, youth and adults and for those who preach, teach and lead in the church.
Christian Education Exchange
Serving in Christian Education can be isolating, especially in our small churches in small towns spread out across these lands. We want to help bridge the gap between faithful people doing wonderful work. Come gather online monthly and connect with others who serve our faith communities, equipping them for discipleship.
You can be a minister, lay leader, paid staff, volunteer, part-time, full-time, or a passionate retiree. You can serve children, youth, young adults, adults, seniors, or all intergenerationally. Our aim is to make the journey an enjoyable one with companions to rely on.
The meetings are hosted by the Christian Education & Youth Program team at 7:00pm (Eastern) and 6:30pm (Pacific) on the fourth Monday of each month.
