Convention theme
equipped for every good work (ii Tim. 3:16-17)
Scripture reminds us that God equips His servants through His Word for the work He has prepared for them. This year’s convention will emphasize how biblical truth shapes our teaching, strengthens our calling, and sustains us for faithful service as Christian educators.
Throughout the convention, sessions and messages will reinforce this theme by focusing on biblical clarity, instructional excellence, and enduring faithfulness in the classroom and beyond.
