Ohio Christian Education School Leadership Conference
Oct

Ohio Christian Education School Leadership Conference

How can Christian schools offer a counter-cultural narrative that grounds students' worldviews in a biblical understanding of their bodies, sexuality, and identity?

To speak into this vital issue, CCV's Ohio Christian Education Network is holding its annual School Leadership Conference.

In addition to the CCV and OCEN key leaders, the nationally-known presenters for this event include John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and host of Breakpoint commentary and podcast, and Michael Grasinski, President of Evangelization at Ruah Woods Institute.

Both presenters have written extensively on this topic and have given much consideration to how Christian schools play a vital role in shaping the hearts and minds of students.

Any Christian-school pastor, board member, or administrative leader is invited to attend.

Kids & Culture: The Clash for the Next Generation's Hearts and Minds

It’s not easy to be a child, and it’s often just as difficult to be a parent attempting to navigate the cultural issues of the day.

As we endeavor to raise children who walk with Jesus and embrace His ways, it is essential to provide a strong biblical foundation. Parents need to be both fully aware of what their children are facing, and be equipped to be able to help them navigate challenging times.

Center for Christian Virtue and Tree of Life Christian Schools are partnering with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and John Stonestreet to host the evening event, "Kids and Culture: The Clash for the Next Generation’s Hearts and Minds.”

At this live and live-streamed event, we’ll unpack the ideas and political forces working in America today, and empower you to understand the times, and know how to respond.
